A perfect villa for relaxing in peace and quiet. The view is amazing to wake up to each morning, as well as the sound of goat bells and wild birds. Our group of ten fit very comfortably and overall had an amazing time there with lots of space to spread out.If you're a master chef this kitchen is not your best friend, but it's sufficient for preparing some basic family meals. The wifi strength was very weak, perhaps considering the remoteness of the house. The local town (Pollensa) is just down the road had everything we needed, and it was great to explore the local ports and amazing beaches nearby. Very responsive and helpful hosts, even on the weekends which we appreciated. Muchos gracias for everything :)

Beautiful villa in a beautiful location. Very quiet and peaceful with plenty of room and space with plenty of character. Facilities were great with every appliance you could want for a home from home.
Excellent value for money. Small winding path to get there, a little off-center from Pollença, but the city remains easily accessible. We had to ask for basic things (dish soap, garbage bags, dish towels) but they responded quickly when I wrote to them. Have a nice stay!
Great villa near to Pollenca. The location is fairly remote and you would need a car but offers tranquility with little disturbance from neighbours. Villa offers everything you need from plenty outdoor seating options, a wood-fire barbecue, large pool, well equipped kitchen. Seems newly renovated and great for smaller groups, couples, families. Can recommend staying there if you don’t want to be in the center of a town.
I totally recommend this villa. Perfectly located like 5min drive away from Pollença village where you can find all the facilities needed (wine/liquor shops, local market, LIDL, gas station, etc). The house itself is perfectly well thought, with individual bathrooms (4 inside + 1 outside by the pool and super convenient). Rooms are spacious, the kitchen is well equipped and overviews the pool and the garden. Parking slot for 2/3 cars, local farm right by the house so you wake up with the sound of the animals. During our stay a house cleaning lady came to refresh rooms and bathrooms and to bring new towels. There’s an exterior fridge, very convenient, by the bbq (though the door is needed to be fixed). Also you can find a laundry room very convenient for a long stay. We were a party of 10 people and the house is clearly big enough and rooms well isolated. Amazing beaches are like 20min drive away from the villa - and not to worry about the cleanliness of the pool which is visited and cleaned several times during the stay by the staff. Well we only wish we could have stayed longer!

We had a wonderful stay. The house is surrounded by nature and a farm. Everything is incredibly pretty, from the garden, to the spacious rooms and the kitchen. The view of the Tramuntana mountains is breathtaking. We had great runs in the morning and beautiful stays and dinners by the pool.
The finca was very neat, clean and modern. Everything was there what we needed. Especially nice is the spacious outside area and the pool. Cooking together is super nice in the beautiful kitchen. The communication with the host was easy and we always received a competent answer quickly. All in all everything was very good! We had a great vacation - gladly again. Thanks a lot!

The most beautiful villa, it was perfect for our group of 10. Amazing pool and breathtaking views. Would love to come back one day.

This is an excellent property in a beautiful location. It is a little out of town so very quiet but within east reach of local shops. The Villa is clean and well equipped. Great pool area. The host was very friendly, responsive and helpful. Overall, I cannot fault the place and would highly recommend.

Overall, we had a very nice time with friends in the house. The situation is quiet and very nice. In the morning you are woken up by animal sounds (rooster, dogs, donkey). We didn't mind It fits the charm of the house. You can take a hike directly from the house or quickly drive to the city or the beach (Highly recommended is Platya de Formentor, about 20 minutes away, but here you should bring meals, as it is very expensive on site)Everything was very clean and communication with the host was very pleasant. Since no one was in the house in front of us, we were also allowed in earlier. On the last night, there was suddenly no more water throughout the house. We were able to reach someone despite the late hour and the next day in the morning the plumber should come. (We were already gone by). The pool was very nice and there was 2x someone to clean. Kitchen was not so well equipped There were e.g. missing insulation pans, salad bowls, etc. The bedrooms were good and the beds comfortable. However, there was no way to lock the doors...also not in the bathrooms. A music system would have been desirable. Fortunately, we had a box with us. Overall we had a great time and would book the house again.
The accommodation and facilities were great and what we expected. The location was stunning. The bedrooms were large and air conditioned and beautiful..It was a fabulous spot to relax and explore the northern part of the island. We did have some teething problems but minor in the scheme of things The internet was patchy but with some basic turning off and on it improved and they did send someone out. The electrics do trip if everyone is taking a shower and you are cooking and using everything at the same time but then I guess my house would do the same…and easily remedied with resetting the switch…it’s an old modernised to a high standard Villa…The Villa is in beautiful countryside next to a farm where they have dogs kept outside and a donkey… these sometimes are noisy at night… especially if you are not used to such noises…so take some earplugs if the sounds of nature would keep you awake. All these are minor things as it’s a fab place to to take a large extended family to have a relaxing holiday and I would definitely try to use it again…
Here are some reviews from guests who have stayed at our villas.
The place is exactly as described. Very well equipped and in a very convenient location. A stone's throw from the beautiful beach.
Wonderful house with all facilities you need: comfortable beds, more than enough bathrooms and a well equipped kitchen. There is a lot of greenery around the house and is the lovely private pool. In terms of location, it's top: you look out on the mountains, with 5 minutes drive you are in the nice center of pollenca and the nearest beach is 8 minutes drive. The most beautiful beaches are a little further away, which are an hour's drive away.
The house is in a very quiet and beautiful area, overlooking the mountains. The amenities are very good and the welcome package we got at the beginning were well taken care of. The outside area is great. There is an area where you can eat and sit very well. The pool was smaller than expected, but it's enough to cool off.We had a rental car and I would recommend that to everyone as the path to the house is a bit longer on foot.All in all, we would definitely recommend the house!
We had a great week. Highlight the pool and views from the garden. The house was spotless, everything was very clean. The new kitchen and full kitchen, we didn't miss any utensils. The owners live nearby and were very kind, wondering if we needed anything or if we wanted to change the towels. A perfect stay
Communication with the property was very good at all times, providing everything you need upon our arrival. The house in general lines is fine, highlighting the pool and barbecue as an added value. However, not having air conditioning is very noticeable and despite having fans, it is very hot.
What a great villa. Situated on a narrow street in the heart of the old town it could not be more convenient for bars and restaurants,and a great base for cycling and exploring the island by bus. The management team were really impressive- very flexible with our check in and responded rapidly to fix a few minor glitches which I reported (eg replaced a broken coffee machine with a brand new one within hours)The welcome pack of food and drinks was the best we have ever seen and very much appreciated. Beautiful villa with plenty of space indoor and out to relax and socialise. I would highly recommend
Immaculately clean villa with lovely views and not far from the beach. Surrounded by nature including sheep with bells on (yes with bells on !) and goats behind. Very clean pool, good wi fi even outside next to the pool. Very privately situated a good distance set back from the main road.
Great quiet location, 10 minutes by car to the city or to the supermarket / petrol station and the sea (not to the beach)!Great view of the mountains and amazing clean pool ...Several outdoor seating options, barbecue worked very well.Very well-kept green garden.Pellet furnace for the cool evenings in May we had.When our coffee machine broke, after recently friendly phone contact, the provision of a new one was immediately made.
Overall the villa was perfectly located for a family. A 15 minute drive to playa de muro which boasts one of Mallorca's loveliest beaches, 10 minute drive to Pollença old town which has a lot of rich history and beautiful architecture to offer and 15 minutes to port de Pollença which is great for dinners and has a bustling evening scene. In terms of the villa itself, it did not disappoint - just like the photos showed on the website. The pool side lounge chairs were extremely comfy as were the living area sofas. The only downside were that the beds were creaky and not that comfortable which is why I wouldn't rate this villa 5/5 stars. But everything else was fantastic and we would return in a heartbeat.
Lovely views,great pool, lots of space inside and out. Peaceful location fairly easy Flat walk into town for a short journey in the car.
Beautiful villa in an equally beautiful location.

We loved our stay at Can Barretes. This is the 3rd villa we’ve stayed at in north Mallorca and we all agreed it’s been our favourite. The villa is just perfectly set up - lovely pool, outdoor seating positioned facing it but with welcome shade, all facilities you need inside. And all within easy drive of Pollenca / Alcúdia.Thanks for a great stay!
We loved the house. Great location with lovely views. The owners were really helpful, we had a thunder storm on the last night and all our washing got soaked. They really helped us out getting it dried. The pool was great and the seating out side was fabulous. The aircon worked great even though it was really hot.
Sehr schöne Villa mit einem sehr gepflegten Garten, etwas ausserhalb von Port de Pollença. Wir haben die Zeit in und ums Haus, am und im Pool sehr genossen. Alles hat alles gepasst, empfehlenswert.
The pool & gardens are magnificent. The house is delightful, spacious, clean & very comfortable for four people. The owners were very responsive & helpful with the one minor problem we had & resolved it quickly. Highly recommended.
Plenty of space for a family of 5. Very nice bathrooms/showers and lovely Master bedroom with huge comfortable bed. The single beds were unfortunately not so good. Ok for young children but not adults or my teenagers!
Yes parking is very tricky near the villa, but there were always spaces on the edge of town.
Overall, a great holiday over Easter for an active family. We really enjoyed exploring Northern Majorca. Would definitely return to Pollensa.
A very pleasant stay in a property full of Mediterranean Character close to centre of Pollensa.

The single beds have now been replaced by brand new very comfortable beds at the property (During season 2018).
We are happy to advise the best places to find parking, it can be tricky especially after 18.00 when the locals start to return in their cars. Parking is free which is a bonus as not many holiday towns have this facility offered without charge. Thanks for the review, glad you enjoyed it.
We had a great time in the villa, a very peaceful spot to relax and re-charge your battery! We loved the fireplace and the goats ;)
Great place. Loved the space. 2.7km to Pollensa and 4.5 to the port. Very walkable. Had a car. Great hikes all around. House is beautiful and just like the photos.A very positive experience. Will definitely return.
Wunderschöne alte Finca, haben uns pudelwohl gefühlt. Lage herrlich ruhig, sehr gepflegt und Pool herrlich.
