Had an amazing week in Cala Dor and this beautiful villa did not disappoint. It was very spacious and accommodated all 8 of us. The pool was perfect and nice and warm. The location is amazing. You can walk to several beautiful restaurants and the marina in less than 5 minutes. The most stunning beaches, shopping and nightlife are just a few minutes away. We had zero issues and would highly recommend this villa if visiting with a large family. It has everything you need as it is well stocked. The hosts were also great and provided us all the necessary info before arriving.
What a gorgeous villa, a few mins from the Marina and everything you need for a chilled family holiday beside the pool. Highly recommend this villa and thoughtful hosts.
Fabulous time at this beautiful villa which worked perfectly for our family - 6 adults, one toddler and a baby. It was well equipped and the welcome pack was well received, as due to delays we arrived quite late. The marina is very close with lovely restaurants, some are quite expensive. We also ate in Cala Egos about a 15 minute walk away. The beach is quite small and can get busy, but it suited us as we only went for a couple of hours per day. We enjoyed every minute at the villa and surrounding area and would definitely returnâŠ.next time for longer as the week went so quickly.
Communication was excellent with the owner from booking right through to our arrival. The villa was super clean and on arrival we had a lovely welcome pack left for us. The pool was clean and the water was warm. Everyone in our party spent many hours in the water and we had a great time.
The location is super close to the marina with bars and restaurants. A 15 minute walk will take you to a centre with more bars and restaurants which offers better value for money if you have children.
Overall we had a fantastic week with our family and will hopefully return one day.
We were so happy with our choice of villa. From the very generous welcome pack to the huge pool, garden and entertaining spaces. We loved the location as we could quickly walk to the lovely restaurants and bars around the marina and to the local Calo dâes Pou beach. Although further away, the lively centre of Cala dâor was still walking distance. A great time was had by all!
First of all, the villa is located in a prime location. You can get round on foot everywhere.
Villa itself is ideal for families. A lot of effort has been made to ensure you have everything you need if you have children. The playpen was an absolute blessing for our 4 month old! There were stair gates and the host even supplied a potty for my 2 year old ( I asked).
The house is clean and extremely well equipped! Lots of appliances, plenty of fridge/ freezer space. I was impressed with the kitchen.
The rooms are air conditioned and a lovely size. The terraces were a bonus, wow they are huge (sun beds are good on those).
The garden is extremely well kept.
The pool is beautiful and clean. The only small niggle would be that the sun beds need updating.
The welcome pack has been well thought out and written with regards to directions to villa, villa security and restaurant recommendations.
Communication with host was faultless throughout.
We will come back!
The large villa with lovely heated pool was clean and close to the Marina at Cala dor,
There a selection of provisions left for us which was very handy. We were a little disappointed that there were not enough pillows, the downstairs double bed was not very comfortable, also the shower down stairs had no curtain so could not be used ( not ideal for families of 8 or more).There was some maintenance that needed done, bathroom door in the double bed room up stairs would not close also the room door if the windows were open would not stay closed,a bulb was also needing replaced in the bathroom.
The upstairs twin room had a loose door on the bathroom cabinet.
The plinth in the kitchen was loose and kept falling down, we found there was not enough large cups and very few large glasses, this could have been a big problem for others booking the villa, having only 4 of us drinking hot drinks we managed but only just.
The entry system did not work from the out side and a problem with the pool gurgling one night meant a sleepless night for two of us, It was fixed the next day with the phone number supplied.
The information that was sent out to us was good up to a point, More information on the Island and places to visit and see would have been good also information on equipment in the villa, we noticed there was no guest book but put these last few things down to the fact the villa had recently changed hands, on speaking to the owner via e-mail on some of the points on our return I was told that they were due to go out to the villa and would be seeing to the maintenance items whilst out there. On a positive note the air conditioning was very good in the bedrooms and the villa was clean on arrival.
We visited Valldemossa and Pollenca again and port De Soller and the west coast with stunning veiws, the Marina at Cala Dor, and two of the many lovely bays one in which we saw 8 different kinds of fish with the aid of goggles / snorkle mask, We went to Boa Vida just down the hill for a few of our evening meals friendly service,good food and prices, Batavaria good food and a view of the Marina a little more expensive,.
We all enjoyed the swimming pool very much, the space inside and outside the villa was great, a note of caution there is no shallow end in the pool for very young children( apart from the steps) and a very large last step into the pool which can catch you by surprise also no depth markings for the deep end which is lovely and deep.
Lovely property in an ideal location for exploring and near to numerous restaurants / bars. Excellent communication from owners and property manager. The villa is spacious, immaculate and has everything you need. We were provided with a generous welcome pack which meant we didnât need to visit the shops on our first day. Lovely pool and sunbathing areas. Our only issue was the noise from passing traffic, as it is next to a busy road. It never really bothered us too much but I imagine it may be an issue for some. The sun loungers are also a little worn. Other than this, we had a fantastic stay.
Gorgeous, spacious villa in a great location.
Had everything we needed for a family holiday. Outside terrace areas were great. Everything was well maintained. Good communication from host. Would 100% recommend.
Had the most amazing time. Great location (easy walk to Marina, pleasant 30 min walk into town and easy walk to lovely beach, Es Forti and supermarket). House is lovely -fantastically equipped (and now with a smart new kitchen) and everything we needed (and more!). Pool plenty big enough for our needs (we were 7 adults at one point). Didnât use upstairs terraces as too hot but would be lovely in spring or autumn. Only two minor things: Sun beds are a bit tired and the road by the garden is a bus route. It didnât bother us at all but may irritate some as quite frequent and noisy. We hope to be back - it was an amazing holiday! Hosts really responsive and helpful, particularly when website didnât like our second payment. We were made to feel really welcome. Thank you!!
Really nice spacious villa very nice outside space and the pool is very warm and a nice size what you donât see on the pictures is some very nice roof terraces all round the Villa.
Itâs in a great location 10 minutes walk to a really good supermarket. Or five minutes drive to an even bigger hypermarket
Also 5 minutes walk to both train stops that going to Cala dor
Also at the marina is only five minutes walk where there is nice bars and restaurants beaches 10 minutes walk or catch the train to all the other beaches.
Basically we loved it and will probably go back and stay there
We have just returned from a fabulous stay in Cala dâor at this wonderful Villa.
The pictures for villa and pool donât do it justice, both being larger than expected with lots of room for 4 adults and 4 teenagers. The location is great just a short stroll to the marina with bars and restaurants and 20 mins walk to the fabulous Porto Petro for more restaurants and SUP board hire. We also hired a small self driven motor boat at the Marina and visited isolated coves around the coast swimming in Cristal clear water. Weâve all had a great time at the Villa with lots to see and do, we would highly recommend
A fantastic villa in a very quiet, yet central neighbourhood. It has everything you need. The owners are easy to communicate with and did a fantastic mid week clean. Very comfy beds, with beautiful bathrooms
We were a family group of 10, including 4 children ranged from 4 to 7 years old. The villa was just perfect for us with large en-suite and air conditioned bedrooms, great open areas and a well equipped kitchen. The shaded terrace over looking the pool was the focal point for most of our activities offering a perfect vantage point to keep an eye on the children.
The villa is set in a quiet area and is not overlooked. The nearest grocery shop ,where we were able to get 90% of what we needed ,is approx 300m away adjacent to the marina.
If you are looking for a beach holiday then this probably isn't the villa for you as the nearest beach is about a 20min walk away and is quite small when you get there. However for us the villa pool was a perfect substitute. If you have non swimmers be sure to bring arm bands etc because the pool only has a very small shallow section.
The marina area is lovely with a large number of restaurants and bars. We ate out every day and the pick of those we tried was definitely Churchill's Tapas Bar - next to the Spar shop.
A walk into Cala D'Or centre where there are literally dozens of restaurants and bars takes about 20mins. There is a circular bus but it only runs every hour and is often full at peak times.
All in all we had a fantastic holiday and the villa was perfect for us. I have no hesitation in recommending to any large family group.
The villa was a perfect choice to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary with our family who voted it the best villa ever!
It is well equipped & has everything you need as we enjoyed several evenings in with a barbecue.
The garden has lots of space for the children to run around & play games.
The pool was lovely & a wellcome relief from the hot sunshine.
I liked the fact there were plenty of sun beds.
Location was great too being just a short stroll to the local Spar shop & Marina.
We loved the Marina with an excellent choice of restaurants to suit all tastes.
Thanks to Julie & Malcolm for letting us stay in their amazing villa & making our holiday special.
The Allen family
This was one of the best holidays ever! I really cannot fault the villa or it's location. The villa is fantastic for a family holiday or a group of friends. Lots and lots of space so you are never in each others way. The kitchen is very well equipped. There are loads of DVD's should you want to chill indoors and a lovely pool outside with an enclosed garden so the kids can run around safely while you swim. There are 2 BBQ's too.The Marina is a 5 minute walk down the hill where you will be spoilt for choice with all the excellent restaurants and the very child friendly Cala Egos is only 20 minutes walk away. The small beach is a 15 minute walk along a nice tree lined path. All in all this villa offers a perfect holiday for just about any age group. I'd recommend a ride on the little train which goes around the marina to Cala D'or centre.
Recently returned from an 8 night break in this perfect villa. Location must be one of the best in Calla D'Or. No need to hire a car if you want to totally relax as there is so much within walking distance. The beautiful Marina is a very short walk away, but if you're feeling a bit more energetic, it's a pleasant walk (some of it up hill, but very doable) in to Calla D'Or centre. Walking in the opposite direction from the villa, Calla Egos with it's shops and very child friendly restaurants is again a pleasant, easy walk. If you like the beach, a 10-15 minute walk along a tree lined path brings you to a small beach that is very family friendly.
The villa itself is spacious and well equipped. Each bedroom having it's own bathroom is perfect, particularly if a couple of families are holidaying together.
The owners have thought of everything to keep everyone entertained both indoors and out.
For me, one of the big attractions for this villa is one can make it as economical (by making use of the facilities like pool, entertainment and bbq's provided) or as luxurious (by eating at some amazing restaurants, hiring a yacht for the day, going on an evening dinner cruise etc etc) as you want it to be.
There is a locally based manager who can be contacted if you encounter any problems, which is very reassuring. Really can't praise this villa enough. Already planning to return in September.
Just got back on 20/09/2014 First impressions of the villa very clean well maintained inside and out everything you need in the villa .Wellcoming pack on arrival well appreciated .The location is central to Cala Dor and Cala Egos, ten minutes in either direction to bars shops and restaurants.eroski supermarket just down the road one way, spar supermarket in the other direction .Road train passes the villa to both places every half hour.Malcolm and Julie have great customer service gave us literature on everything from how to get there ,to numbers for taxis,doctors where to eat and many more things.Iwould recommend this villa to any age .Ihave already booked for next year I enjoyed it so much because of the location of the villa and the high standard of it
Happy Holiday Maker
Galio 1 is a fantastic Villa, its size is ideal and it is so close to the Marina with all its facilities. Cala D'Or is a very easy resort to holiday in.
