This simple yet functional family home in Mallorca’s Sa Pobla is a place to switch off and relax. The pool and outdoor shower keep things cool during hot afternoons and the balcony and terrace encourage alfresco dining. There are only two bathrooms, one of which is an en-suite, between eight people, so you might have to figure out a rota for the shower. In terms of location, you have a handful of restaurants on your doorstep and Alcudia Beach is around 12 kilometres away.

Home truths:
*We recommend hiring a car for ease of getting around
*Parking is available on the premises
*Your host can provide a cot and high chair upon request
*The swimming pool isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times
