A beautiful house, just like the photos, from the front doesnât look like much but is like a tardis, very spacious, we loved all the quirky things in the house and the beautiful plants everywhere. The pool is a good size, not huge but Iâd say bigger than it looks in the photos. Sa Pobla itself we didnât explore much, it was very hot so we didnât want to walk far with a complaining 10 year old! But from driving around the town itself did not appear very âtouristyâ at all. Which wasnât a problem for us really & we had a car. Iâd say you would definitely need a hire car. The roads are very narrow, ideally get a small/medium car if you can (we were upgraded to an SUV and I scraped the wheels a couple of times squeezing up to the kerb!), parking was never an issue we always found a parking spot nearby, sometimes just having to drive around the block once or twice. The island of Majorca is small so if you have a car there are many beautiful places to explore nearby. We traveled by car everyday; Caves De Drach 45mins (Porto Cristo), beautiful caves by very busy in high season, although still worth a visit Iâd say; Alcudia Beach & Port, about 20 mins, very beautiful stretch of white sandy beach, the sea is warm and very safe for children, no tides and shallow for a long way, very calm no waves, plenty of water-sports, restaurants, shops, deck chairs to hire etc; Pollenca is a 15 min drive, very beautiful town definitely worth a visit, the Port of Pollenca a little further on (about 6km) a lovely port and beach with restaurants etc, parking lot right by the port always had spaces and was cheap (about âŹ1 an hour), we did a sunrise and dolphin watching tour from there; Soller (about 45 min drive) is a beautiful town where you can catch a tram to the port (or a historical train to palma), the tram ride on the historic trams to the port is lovely - the Port of Soller itself is very beautiful, my favourite place we visited; Miramar (about 50min drive) has a beautiful old Monastery, the grounds are sadly in a state of disrepair and there are no facilities there apart from toilets, but it is a beautiful place to visit, amazing views and a short walk to some interesting stone bridges, not much sign posted so you have to explore a bit! I thought it was a real hidden gem and would definitely recommend a visit, a short drive from here takes you through some beautiful villages to Port De Soller through winding roads. Overall an excellent base to explore Majorca! 5*!!
