Can't fault the villa but the location could be better
This is a lovely villa with everything you would expect — very good air con throughout, lovely pool and garden, nice terrace, well appointed kitchen and facilities.
The bedrooms are good, although the beds are a little small (in width) for adults if separated to be used as twins, but fine for kids. As doubles they would be fine, I think.
We went in August 2023 and found the surrounding villas were pretty lively until after midnight, but that added to the holiday atmosphere.
I have given the location 2 stars because this proved the major headache of the holiday — Cala Valdella has one small shop right by the beach which is very inaccessible by car, and walking up the very steep hill with water etc is not practical on a daily basis. All of its restaurants are fine, and the beach is OK, but there's nothing else to do or even a good walk to be found easily on foot.
Because of this, we were very reliant on our hire car, and the larger super markets in St Josep, facing some challenging driving and parking situations every day. We ate in the same restaurant at the beach 3 times in 7 nights, because we didn't want to drive around in the evening as well as in the day. We walked the steep hill (about 10 minutes) every day at least once, but this put us off going out on foot as much as we usually have on holiday.
So, I can't fault the villa if you're happy staying at home by the pool, but if you are hoping for shops, bars and things to do on your doorstep, this may not be for you.
