House with pool in the center of town. Artá

We stayed here pre-covid and loved it, but it lacked air con and wifi. Both of those issues are now fixed - aircon in the main bedroom and the lounge, and very fast wifi. Plus there's a new smart TV. Arta is a beautiful, peaceful small town with fabulous restaurants. This is a fabulous property; the garden is an oasis of tranquility and the recent upgrades make it perfect. We'd recommend getting a car, but be aware you need to park in the car park by the old train station otherwise you'll get a ticket (I'm still trying to work out how to pay mine, it's a nightmare). There's a wonderful small supermarket just on the corner, or you can do a big shop in Manacor. Cala Agulla is about 10 mins drive away and is the most beautiful beach in the world. Any issues, Isabel is always there on WhatsApp.

We stayed in Isabel’s property pre covid and we’re so pleased to be able to return again this year. Contact, arrival procedure and access to the property were all clear and simple. The property was even better than last time where there have been a number of upgrades. The property is well maintained and the ‘secret garden’ is beautiful and a wonderful place to spend sunny days and warm evenings. The town centre of Arta is a five minute stroll with its fine selection of shops and restaurants and a choice of beaches are a short drive away. We hope to return again soon.

This is a beautiful house in a wonderful location. However, when searching for a property I had aircon and wifi set as filters. Both of these were listed on the advert but when we arrived at the house it had neither. Apart from that (a fairly big issue in a July heatwave to be fair), the house is amazing. Highlights for us: - The garden is like paradise and so peaceful, pool is fabulous and really deep! Take insect repellent though because there's bitey things. - Kitchen was great and really well equipped. Loads of spices, oil, vinegar etc etc. It was lovely to be able to properly cook in the evening and have dinner in the garden. - Great location. Just a few minutes to village centre and there's a pretty decent mini-supermarket about 50m away. - 20 minute drive at most to Cala Agullar which is one of the nicest beaches I've ever seen. - Showers were great, very powerful and lots of hot water. - No problems communicating with Isabel. She was away when we were there but responded very quickly to our queries. - Arta is a wonderful place to stay with lovely shops and restaurants. We had a wonderful stay at Isabel's house, and if it had aircon in the bedrooms I would go back in a heartbeat.

Really great house on the edge of the old town. 2 minute walk to get fresh bread and croissants in the morning, 3 minutes to the supermarket and 5 minutes to the local farmers market. The house was clean and surprisingly spacious, the courtyard garden was much larger than we were expecting and the plunge pool was perfect to cool off in at the end of the day. Isabel, the owner, was always helpful but all the contact was via email/WhatsApp. We collected the keys from the local petrol station and let ourselves in. Our only complaint was the lack of wifi - which did not go down well with the teenage member of our group! In truth the adults also found it frustrating. Arta is a great village/town and we enjoyed exploring it the evening and finding new places to eat and drink. Market day on Tuesday was great fun. The beaches are all about 10 minutes away in a car. We had our favourites but they were all good. All in all a really good property - would have been perfect with wifi.

Beautiful property with amazing private courtyard garden - perfect for sunbathing in the day and relaxing evenings. The small waterfall pool was great to cool off in during the hot July weather. The villa is really well located close to the centre of Arta in easy walking distance of the main square and lovely restaurants and just a short drive to various local beaches. We had a very enjoyable holiday and hope to return again in the future.

We enjoyed our stay very much, the house had everything we needed. Even though indicated, there was no Wifi, but we didn‘t need it. The patio is very charming, nice flowers and a little waterfall pool. It‘s a 5 minutes walk to the main square of Arta, we loved this little village. We always found a parking space around the house. All in all we would definitely recommend this house.

The access could ave been easier. Communication with the owner was by e-mail on my iPad, a telephone conversation would have been more efficient. Not only did we not have the address, the housekeeper Rosa speaks no English but I managed to get a man who had just parked his car to arrange for her to come and let us in. The property is 2 minutes walk from a supermarket and 10 minutes from the restaurants. Very clean and lovely outside courtyard for sunbathing that is not overlooked. Slept well but there are a number of church bells nearby. A kettle would have been good.

We were met by Encarna and let into the house and were bowled away by the garden ... beautifully planted and laid out it's a fantastic entrance to the house. Inside it is very open and modern and spacious ... excellent furnishings and personal touches made it a welcoming base to explore this part of Mallorca . What was particularly good was it's location in Arta ... 1 minute walk from a sublime local bakery ... open at 7 am so you have to be up early if you want your croissants warm from the oven ... and another minute away from a local supermarket which sold all the basics you need. The additional benefit was that a few minutes walk in the other direction saw us in the main square of Arta with a good selection of bars and restaurants ... some of which served excellent quality food - La Gripia and Parisien were probably our favourites... market day on Tuesday was good too and lots of interesting places to walk as well in the town ... we have been to Mallorca many times but usually stay near Pollenca ... this was a chance to try a different part of the island and we were glad we did ... overriding impression was that this is a beautiful house perfectly presented with great quality fittings and fixtures comfortable beds a really helpful owner easily contactable by what's app (thanks Isabel for the hand drawn map to the bakery !) and in a lovely location right in the centre of the town which made a massive difference being able to walk to restaurants and bars without worrying about the drive ... one night there was a concert on at the convent church next door and sitting reading in the garden listening to the piano and trumpet wafting over the high walls with the backing of the waterfall into the pool was magical ... thoroughly thoroughly recommended ...
