My family and friends had the pleasure of staying at Villa Catala from the 5th to 15th September. Throughout the booking process and run up to our visit, Marita, the owner, was available to offer advice and answer any questions regards our stay. The property is exactly as it appears in the photographs, beautiful, well maintained and in an excellent location for accessing in and around Palma and the south coast of Mallorca. Anne the housekeeper provides a fantastic spread of food for breakfast and ensures the property is kept to her exacting standards. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Villa Catala and we will certainly be returning very soon.

A great location and property that’s constantly been looked after. The housekeeper Anna was fantastic providing a delightful breakfast and a daily house service.

We are very experienced renters, and have never before given a review like this. Unfortunately, the reality of this house does not match the claims. I suspect the photos were taken a long time ago. The owner is an estate agent, so she knows how to use wide angled lenses (the pool is smaller than implied) and to carefully stage tableaux. The bubble chair and white piano are the nice bits- the rest is an old house, tarted up , but far from luxurious. It is very big, that´s for sure- but a bit gloomy and needing updated. The pool area is very disappointing- surrounded by concrete blocks, garden untended, chairs mismatched , hot plastic cushions. Those stunning sea views are available only from one sun lounger- the rest of the time you are viewing trees , the house next door, or the ugly apartment blocks of New Bendinat. We had an issue with the pool- no biggie, these things happen- but we got a discount only after many screaming matches . BTW, don´t bother ever complaining to vrbo- they are paid by the owners, so they ignore you. Oh, and be aware, the house is up a very steep hill, and there are many stairs from the garage to the house- so you are climbing up there with your luggage. We will never be back.

We had a wonderful stay at villa catala and would definitely stay again!

Beautiful villa every bit as good as the pictures. Enormous bedrooms, fabulous breakfasts, great friendly service. Lovely views, pool area and good location. We also v much enjoyed the BBQ catering which was great quality. Perfect place to celebrate my birthday with friends. Would highly recommend!

Wonderful view, great breakfast

A great villa with 5 large bedrooms, all with en suite facilities. Large pool and sunbathing area. Located at the top of quite a steep hill with lovely views in to the bay of Palma. Convenient location for both Palma (10 minutes by taxi) and Puerto Portals / Portals Nous (5 minutes by taxi). Would stay again.

The Villa is perfect, central location for getting all over the island. Anne is lovely and she provides breakfast every morning which is the perfect convenience for a large group. A grocery store at the bottom of the street is also convenient. The pool is large, views are amazing and this Villa has all the amenities you could ever need. It was a pleasure working with the owner, she is helpful and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again!
