Villa Gaballi was just the holiday home we were looking for! The villa is situated in a quiet area with views of the lower mountains and a hillside vineyard. There is a church just around the corner and a small courtyard where you can get a coffee or an afternoon beer or glass of wine. Several times little children were playing soccer in this courtyard while parents relaxed. A local cave tour is just around the corner with a lovely, flower terraced restaurant at the entrance. We had cold drinks/coffee at this location and attended a blues concert on the terrace. It was lovely!
Our days involved leaving in the mornings for cycling, a city, the outer area markets or the water. We returned close to 3:00 or 4:00 p.m. ready to relax in a peaceful setting.
As cyclists we had storage for our bicycles in an open garage or carefully placed in a third bedroom attached to the garage. We rode our bicycles each day directly from the Villa. There are rides of any distance on rolling back country roads (green on the Mallorca cycling map) with little traffic. We also rode 4 of the iconic mountain rides directly from our front door. Being out all day made our late afternoons and evenings at the Villa and pool even more lovely!
With three different outdoor seating areas we were always outdoors for morning coffee, fresh apricots,plums, oranges or lemons from the property, an afternoon swim, reading, siesta or a quiet evening dinner.
We felt close enough to Inca (15 km), Pollenca (20 km) and Campanet (2 km) that we could drive in for an evening dinner or to stroll and look around. On several evenings we rode our bikes into Campanet for a cold drink in the square.
The villa was cleaned for us mid-stay, fresh towels were provided and the pool and grounds were cleaned several times. This home is given a great deal of attention and care.
This is the holiday home we will choose upon our return to Mallorca! Thank you for an organized holiday stay without stress. Thank you for strong communication via the owners and Owl Booking. Thank you for having us and for the "touch of heaven" on the beautiful island of Mallorca!
