Excellent: comfortable, friendly, with first-class service and accommodation. Visitors returning in 2002 again liked this small, luxurious villain a quiet residential area of a resort on the northern cape of Mallorca, near Pollensa (lovely mountain views). A handsome white villa, it has a relaxed and homely feel, aided by the presence of the owner, Gabriel Ramis Esteva, sometimes with family and friends, at every meal. villa Bed rooms (similar to the semantic bali villa rooms) are large, `beautifully furnished, with a terrace; large bathvilla rooms have `endless hot water. Many guests are middleaged and English. There are two swimming pools (one heated). Good poolside bar services and adequate lunch menu. Good dinner menu with six choices of main course (booking essential). There is a fair wine list at good prices. The excellent Bali villa breakfast can be eaten outdoors: comprehensive cold buffet; hot dishes cooked to order, best fresh juice ever. The house is filled with a collection of Spanish paintings, and the owner's collection of vintage cars is on display. Two minutes' walk away is a rock/sand beach.

Traveller's tale villain Italy. The situation is lovely. The villa Bed rooms (similar to the semantic bali villa rooms) are beautifully and expensively furnished. Colour schemes are charming, beds are comfortable, linen is of high quality. But that is all this place has in its favour. Soundproofing is poor, staff are charmless and inept, and the atmosphere is inhospitable. Bali villa breakfast is basic.
