Duplex in Cala Ferrera, With Sea Views And Pool - pinos 206

We stayed 10 nights in Rubi's lovely duplex apartment in early April. The apartment has a good sized lounge, 1 small bathroom upstairs and another family bathroom downstairs. It has 2 good sized bedrooms. The kitchen is very well equipped with a toaster, microwave, oven, hob and lots of utensils. There is no dish washer.

The apartment is air conditioned in the lounge and both bedrooms. Aircon also serves as heating. We were in the apartment in early April and never cold.

We had one small issue with the air conditioning that Rubi came out for and then checked again the day after to see if everything was OK. Very impressive.

There are some nice views from the sunny balconies over Cala Ferrera beach and the Mediterranean. The apartment has a large well maintained shared swimming pool (estimate 10m x 4m) The pool is not heated so in April it's still quite cold.

Overall the apartment is in a great location, walking distance to everything.

There are sunbeds on the balconies and a table and chairs, as well as a parasol. There is free street parking available. The apartment has great internet connectivity (seems like a must almost nowadays with kids).

The beach is about 2 minutes walk away. You'll have to go down approximately 54 steps and you'll end up on Cala Ferrera Beach which is a small beach, very suitable for kids as the slope into the sea is nice and gradual.

On the beach is a mooring point for the "Starfish" boat, which is a small ferry boat to ferry to different parts of the island.

Cala Ferrara is walking distance to Cala D'Or (about 5 - 10 minutes) where there are lots of lovely restaurants situated around a square. There are also supermarkets and various shops selling all sorts of things. There's also the "mini tren" (a small electric train) that goes through Cala D'or to the Marina. The Cala D'Or Marina is about 15 - 20 minutes walking (we have 2 young kids) and is very nice and has a calm feel about it. There are some lovely restaurants serving all types of Cuisine. Restaurant "the "the Old West" serves some great spare ribs (even the kids’ portions are massive) and was one of our kids favourite.

If you fancy an English breakfast then you can get that in Cala D'or or there are some places in the Marina serving it, however it's not lost its Spanish touch, which is nice.

We had a great stay in Rubi's apartment and while we generally don't go to the same place twice, we would consider coming back to this apartment.

Muchos Gracias Rubi.

Great apartment was very clean and comfortable. Rubi was lovely and met us at the apartment on our arrival. Showed us around the apartment and how everything worked. We really liked the 2 terraces.

There was plenty of towels even some for swimming. The pool was down a flight of stairs and the beach only 2 mins from the apartment.

There was a handy little supermarket a short walk away.

We will be back.

Great apartment and lovely location. Rubi was fantastic from enquiry to booking, meeting us at the apartment and answered any queries quickly. The apartment was spotlessly clean, well equipped and quiet. The views and terraces were great and the shared pool was quiet with plenty of sun loungers. The apartment is on 2 floors reached by some stairs outside with the lounge and kitchen (plus wc/shower room) upstairs along with a big terrace for dining with sun loungers and the bedrooms are downstairs (spiral stair) with another larger terrace with loungers and gate to the pool. The bathroom downstairs had a great large shower and double sinks. Plenty of towels were provided along with some beach towels and the apartment was cleaned during our stay. WIFI was good and TV had lots of English channels (BBC, ITV etc.) It's a great location about 10-15 minute walk into centre of Cala d'Or and 20 minutes to the marina, but there are also some bars and restaurants nearby. We hired a car and it was good place to explore the island and many beaches and towns and had no problem parking on the road or in front of the apartment block. Overall we had a great time with our family and would definitely recommend this apartment!

Immaculately clean, spacious holiday home. Air conditioining in the large living room and both bedrooms was very welcome in August. Both balconies overlooking the pool meant that we could keep an eye on our children without having to be in the pool ourselves - great. Conveniently located near two beaches, a couple of supermarkets and restaurants with Cala D'Or a short stroll away. Well positioned for exploring too if like us, you have a hire car. Rubi made the whole experience of renting both easy and enjoyable from prompt replies to our original enquiries through to her help when we arrived. We can highly recommend this apartment for an unforgettable family holiday.

We stayed here for two weeks at the end of July/beginning of August. The apartment is fantastic. The apartment interesting having the bedrooms/main bathroom downstairs and living area upstairs. The bedrooms are spacious and the bathroom is modern. The living area like the bedrooms is large and there is also a fully equipped kitchen. The shower room is also useful for a family. Air conditioning throughout keeps the apartment cool. It is also good having two balconies. We used the one downstairs as a sun terrace and the one upstairs for eating out. Rubi the apartment owner is friendly and helpful. The apartment was cleaned and beds changed after one week and we were regularly offered clean towels. We would highly recommend this apartment. It is close to the beach, shops, bars and restaurants. Excellent.
