10 of us stayed here in June. Really, really nice place.
Rural and quiet, 2 mins from Cala San vincente 5 mins from Pollensa/ Porto Pollensa, 2 mins from supermarkets.


EDIT- 2-5 mins drive, but don't let that put you off

If you want to have any chance of scoring, don't go to Aston Villa.

I'd better make my apologies and leave now....

I'd disagree. Stats say that Villa Park is an excellent place to go if you want to score.

We've used VRBO a number of times and have always found somewhere great to stay. I don't know Greece, but this place looks fantastic and if sharing the cost then not too bad...

coco look at www.ownersdirect.co.uk. You'll find loads of really good places and usually car hire is included in the cost, which you can upgrade tp a bigger car within the package usually for much less than using alamo or other airport hire firms. `Always go for excess protection and crash damage waiver upgrade when booking to avoid expensive add-on so it protects your excess.

We've had some fabntastic places in Mallorca, Crete, Cyprus, over the last 20 years until our children were teenagers and while parents-in-law could go abroad with us- we split the cost equally per family group + flights were usually cheapest to Gran Canaria or Las Palmas in Mallorca- we went to the Puerta Pollenca area 3 years running [Villa Xinca Major/ Minor] near Pollenca townbut don't go anywhere on the beach east of the town as it is backed by,marshland and the mosquitos are awful + if you have a pool you don't need to be near the sea as beaches are often pebbles rather than sand.

... the Monopoly Challenge Cup was always contested on these holidays.... Mrs A_T won twice, but I never did. Landing twice on a hotel on Vine Street has left deep scars.
