Villa Lagoon. Schöne mallorquinische Finca aus Stein mit privatem Pool.

The pool area

The stay got off to a bad start when we arrived an hour after our check-in time to find the property had not been cleaned / sheets changed etc. Rubbish all over kitchen floor and a slightly cloudy pool. Cleaning was quickly rectified and we were able to move in after a supermarket shop. Pool cleared over next 24 hours but pool tiles need a good clean up. Patches of ingrained dirt on bottom and scum line green most of way round. Villa is on a great plot with olive and fruit trees and is a pretty stone building. However the furniture and fittings are very tired - felt rather like student accommodation in parts. Owner’s daughter was quick to rectify things we asked for (playable table tennis bats, pegs for washing line) and to try and fix one of the air conditioning units which wasn’t able to cool one of the bedrooms sufficiently. Sa Pobla has a great main square with superb Sunday veg market but little else going on. However lots of good spots on island in easy driving distance. This villa could be much more than it is but some money needs spending on beds, loungers, sofas, kitchen utensils and general fixtures and fittings. And a good clean of the pool and repainting over damp areas in the house would make a big difference.
