Striking distance from Alcúdia's coastline sits this traditional villa. The top-notch location is the biggest draw – beaches, tapas bars and the Old Town's weekly market are only a short walk away. We also like the small but sunny patio, complete with a plunge pool, lounge chairs and cosy outdoor sofas where you can unwind with a glass of sangria after a day out and about. A breezy, but slightly boring living area awaits inside. Style-wise, it's not the most exciting, but we think families will likely appreciate the fuss-free, open-plan design.

Home truths:
*This home is set over multiple levels – it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
*The patio is quite small, and the pool isn't huge, either – those wanting a lot of private outdoor space may want to look elsewhere
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a free cot and high chair on request
*Neighbours are in close proximity here and there are power lines in view of the patio
*While you won't need a car to visit the beach, you may want one to explore further afield – there's free, open-air parking available
*Hen and stag parties are not allowed at this home
