Lovely villa, good access to the prettiest places
Villa Es Putxet is lovely - very clean, well-equipped and homely. The pool and the pool area are smart, with modern, comfy sun-loungers. This accommodation sleeps 4 but it wouldn't be suitable for 2 couples. There's a galleried main bedroom and a twin room next door, with only a curtain rather than a door between the two rooms. Fine though for one couple, or a family of 4 with 2 young children. If you hire a car, which I'd recommend, the location of the villa is great for being able to visit lots of lovely nearby places, like Alcudia, Pollenca, Deia etc, but you can also walk into Inca like we did on market day (Thursday) and for dinner one night. The property manager Rober is helpful - the night we arrived at Palma he met us at a petrol station in Inca and we drove behind him so he could show us how to find the villa from town. He then explained everything to us. A small disappointment for my partner and I was that we arrived from an evening flight and got to the villa at 10pm. There wasn't any sort of welcome pack for us - it would have been a nice touch to have found bread, milk, a bottle of wine, fruit etc. The next day was Sunday so without having had any breakfast we tried, and struggled at first, to find a local supermarket which was open. (Only Lidl is open Sundays by the way! - 9am until 3pm). There are a couple of things we feel the property needs - a table and chairs by the pool or on the terrace so you can eat your meals outside. There is a garden sofa and coffee table on the terrace but that means you have your meals on your lap. Also we had no local maps in the property, but once the owner knew we needed them he came over specially to bring them. Talking of the owner, he was very kind to us on our last day. Our flight wasn't until late and although there were new people arriving later that day, he let us stay there until 5pm - meaning we could enjoy our last bit of sunshine, have a coffee etc while he, his very friendly wife, mother-in-law and children all did the cleaning ready for the next 'tenants'. They were quite a team! All in all, we had a lovely time and I would definitely recommend this villa.
