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 :)

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!
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…
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!
Beautiful villa in a very picturesque location. Perfect for families and friends who are looking for a quiet villa, with great views. We didn't want to leave!
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.
Here are some reviews from guests who have stayed at our villas.
Blissful getaway
We stayed at Can Pontico for two weeks in August; two families with children from 10-12. The villa was fantastic for this as there are two separate spaces - one upstairs and one downstairs- each with its own bathroom with a shower in each. The main appeal for us was the stunning location. The views of mountains from all sides made it a really picturesque and relaxing stay. The pool was a great size and a real hit with the kids. The terrace off the kitchen overlooks the pool and mountains and we spent most of our time here. The owner, Juan, was there every few days to clean the pool. He is a wonderful, welcoming person. We visited the amazing spectacle of La Patrona festival, and by pure coincidence found ourselves outside his town house in Pollensa. Juan and his wife insisted we come inside to watch from an upstairs window, giving us all food and drinks. We were very glad to be inside when the crowds and noise became so crazy that we feared we might be crushed! The festival is an amazing week-long celebration at the start of August each year- we’d really recommend it. Beautiful Pollensa was a 35 minute walk away. After a week, we found the safe route to walk ( the main road is not safe!) We thought it would have been helpful to have an information book in the Villa, detailing this walk and other places to visit. Other info such as rubbish disposal, linen change etc would have been helpful. Having said that, any questions we had were quickly answered by Vida Villas or Juan. We visited Cala Saint Vincent- great for snorkelling, the caves at Campanet and the beautiful Pine Walk in Puerto Pollensa. The Sunday Market in Pollensa is fantastic for food and crafts. Overall a wonderful holiday in a fantastic location- we’d love to return!
Would definitely book again.
We had booked the Casa Magdalen for a week vacation with a total of six friends.I. Arrival; The finca is located just outside of Pollensa and is therefore somewhat hidden, which is easy to manage due to the arrival information provided and Google Maps. Upon arrival, a car or taxi is indispensable due to the mentioned location.The key handover is via two key boxes, so it is also possible to arrive at a later hour without problems. The finca; The finca has all the amenities listed on the website and is therefore ideal for vacationing with a group of friends or a family vacation. In particular, the beautiful terrace, which is conveniently directly connected to the kitchen, as well as the pool, should be highlighted.Inside, the finca has three bedrooms consisting of a room with a double bed and two twin rooms each. There is also a living room and two bathrooms.We spent most of our outdoor stay, so we never had to resort to the interior. The location; From the finca it is only a short drive to Pollensa or Alcudia, so you can easily go out and eat and shop. The large Eroski market in Pollensa is ideal for this.In addition, a beach visit in the bay north of Pollensa from the finca is easily possible, again a car is necessary. During the stay, the towels provided were changed once, the floor and the pool were cleaned, which made the stay very pleasant. During our vacation, there was a special situation of a power outage due to a strong thunderstorm, but this problem was also quickly resolved by a call to the agent. Otherwise,the purchase of a mosquito repellent such as Autan or a similar means is recommended, as otherwise the mosquitoes can unfortunately spoil the early evening on the terrace. Conclusion; We had a nice vacation in the finca and would recommend it without hesitation.
The villa was big inside and accommodated all 6 people. The outdoor space and pool were good and enough for us all. The villa had everything we needed for our week-long stay. The bathrooms could do with updating if am honest especially one of the show heads. Aircon was on at night which was perfect. The location is just on the main road so you could hear the cars but we expected that. You could easily walk to the port/beach in 20 minutes max. The supermarket was about 10/15 mins away on foot. We all had a fab time and for the money, I cannot grumble at all.

Brilliant stay from start to finish. Hosts were really helpful with our questions before travel. On arrive the villa was spotless and the owner and his son were very friendly and helpful. The outside area is beautiful lots of shady space to sit outside and the children loved the play area and space to run around. The pool is amazing and kept very clean throughout the stay. We ate some lovely meals in Puerto Pollensa a 10 minute drive. A brilliant holiday we didn’t went to leave!
Location was perfect. Pool was lovely, also loved having a ping pong table by the side too. Provided with all the kitchen utensils and equipment which was perfect. Loved Can Oli, would certainly stay again! Maybe could have been provided with more toilet rolls and towels as we found ourselves to sun out. Although that was the only negative, everything else was excellent.
We spent a week in the cottage and had a very nice time. The finca is very large and has enough space for 6 people. A special highlight is of course the quiet and secluded garden area with pool and outdoor cottage, where you can relax very well. Nearby are the beautiful places Pollenca and Alcudia, with lots of shopping, restaurants, sights and beaches. Since the highway is also only minutes away, you can also easily reach other destinations on the island by car. The communication was always very friendly and constructive, in case of problems we were helped quickly and competently.We'd love to come back!
We had a nice relaxing holiday. The garden is very nice and also very opaque and therefore very private. The house is secluded in a quiet area. That was just what we wanted. Check in and check out was also flexible due to the lockbox. Friendly contact. Would recommend it.
Great stay in this traditional house, simple and pleasant at the same time . We quickly disconnected thanks to the calm of the garden , visits to the sheep of the field next door...the rooms are spacious and all have air conditioning ( I am not a fan of air conditioning but unfortunately it is the only way to ensure a good night in summer).the pool is large in a very maintained garden... The bonus being the pool towels provided by the host. We enjoyed it . The manager is very responsive! Really nice week with the family ,very relaxing go there with your eyes closed:-)
Great location, pool and outdoor space
Our only reason for not giving 5 stars was lack of bathrooms in the main house for 6 adults and 1 child. Outdoor bathroom great during the day but not for use during the night. One bathroom ready for an update which we know is due soon. That said it’s a lovely house with good ammenities and easy to walk into Pollensa to eat and for the bakery nearby Could have done with some more wine glasses and a bolt for the new garden gate. With a toddler he could have opened the gate if we were not vigilent but we put a sun bed across! Sounds more negative than positive but we had a fab time - just constructive feedback!

VidaVillas response: Thanks Lesley, you are correct the 2nd bathroom in the main house has now been updated for the 2019 season.
We had a wonderful stay here, which suited our requirements perfectly. Inside and out was spotlessly clean with not so much as a single bit of gravel in the back garden and around the pool. There were some nice decorative touches with the quirky iron ornaments around the villa. Not only would we be more than happy to stay there again, but in another life if we had the finca as our home it would be our idyll.
We had a great time at this beautiful and very spacious apartment. There was nothing missing in the apartment. The beach is a few meters from the apartment and it is a dream beach. We will come back without hesitation.
We have stayed for one week at Ferra and really enjoyed it. We were travelling with 5 adults and two children.The house was great. Everything was clean and well equipped. The three bedrooms are air-conditioned, which was a lifesaver. The house offers two terraces, one in East direction (pool arrea) and one in West direction (barbecue arrea), so you could stay outside the whole day independently from the weather. The pool is great, with a deeper part to jump into the pool and dive and a more shallow part for the children.The only negative point to mention is that there was hunting season on Mallorca, so hunters are allowed to shoot birds an 2-3 days a week. On these days you can hear a lot of shooting around and close to the house through the whole day, which is kind of annoying for adults and scary for children. Sometimes you have single feathers in the pool afterwards, which is not great but not a big deal.The communication with the host was easy and uncomplicated.
Fantastic place for a fantastic vacation.Mountains, beach and a beautiful finca, just perfect!
Like a previous review stated “Overall the villa was good but a few things would have made it excellent”. We, as a group of 9 adult male cyclists, found the villa to be ideal. The outside space was great. Perfect for winding down after a day in the saddle. Inside there was plenty of room although the kitchen could get a bit crowded at times. It’s a little out of town but still only a 25 – 30 minute brisk walk. If numbers dictate I would have absolutely no hesitation in renting this villa again.
Great holiday in October
We really enjoyed our stay in this apartment. We went the first week in Oct and had the little beach to ourselves for the first half of the week. Some very kind previous tenants left a couple of balls and bucket and spade which were made good use of and returned. Also there was a beach umbrella and some books and dvds in the apartment which were a nice surprise. The only negative comment I have is that the WiFi reception isn't great and we found it a bit frustrating. Other than that we were a stones throw from the beech and town and would definitely recommend this as a great place to stay if you have young kids or are older as its very quiet and close to all amenities.
Managers Response: WiFi now works from a different type of connection and is very good.
Wonderful location with a great view and very clean, modern and functional accommodation. We would definitely like to come back.
Great place to stay. The owner came to pour from time to time and gave us fruit from his plantation. Also the distance to the beach was quick to reach by car. To end the evening by the pool has given our vacation the necessary peace and quiet. Always happy to come back.
Unfortunately, we were only able to spend 5 nights at the property. We would have liked to have stayed longer, but will definitely be back.
