Villa for 14 people with swimming pool, jacuzzi, volleyball court and play area just 10 minutes’ walk from the beautiful harbour of Portopetro. Perfect for families with children and groups of friends. Back in 1980 a young man from Santanyí, with great effort and dedication, built Castell des Paradís. Nearly 40 years later, with his family’s support, the villa went through an ambitious modernisation. Each of us has put special care to create this cosy paradise where you can rest and enjoy your well-deserved holidays. The house has 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms (1 hydromassage shower), 2 living rooms and 2 kitchens distributed across 3 floors. There are 3 terraces, one at the roof, another at street level, and another by the pool. Other than a standard depth pool, there is also a children's pool (4.5m x 3m; depth: 80-90cm) with a separate jacuzzi area (2m x 3m; depth: 90cm). Both are salt-water pools. This property of 250 m² has access to about 3.200 m² of land. Portopetro is a little fishermen’s harbour in south-eastern Mallorca where you can find traditional restaurants and delicious seafood. It is also the departure point of tourist boats visiting the surrounding areas, such as Cala Mondragó and s’Amarador, two stunning turquoise blue sea beaches close to the villa. The villa is just 10 minutes’ walk from the bus stop. You can get to many interesting places by bus, such as Cala d'Or (shopping area, beaches and restaurants, 10 minutes, 4 km), Mondragó Natural Park (10 minutes, 3 km), Santanyí (15 minutes, 12 km), Aqualand (water park, 75 minutes, 48 km) and Palma (80 minutes, 59 km). Other highlights: Vall d’Or Golf (11 km), Cala Figuera (16 km), Drach Caves (28 km), Valldemossa (78 km). How to arrive from the airport? The most comfortable way to arrive to the house is by car or taxi. The journey lasts approximately 50 minutes. Even though we support public transport use as much as possible, please note that the connection between the airport and Portopetro is limited. You can arrive by bus accessing the Intermodal Station (Palma Center) with an EMT bus and, from there, you can take TIB line 501 (Airport > Palma Intermodal Station > Portopetro).

Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine J. 15 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great accommodation As a large family group covering three generations with ages from 3 yrs old to 70 yrs old, this accommodation was just perfect. Something for everyone. Plenty of seating outdoors for al fresco dining and loads of things to keep the kids occupied including the pool, playground area and relaxing areas. The property was well set up so everyone had their own space if they needed it. It’s only a 10/15 minute walk to Porto Petra which has a lovely selection of restaurants. We hired cars but I think you could get around quite easily by bus or taxis. A taxi to Cala D’or (which is a busier town with shops, a lovely marina and gorgeous beaches) literally cost under 7 Euros so if you want to dine out and have a few drinks it’s cheap enough to get home. I would definitely recommend this villa for a large group of family members of all ages and I will definitely think about staying here again Simply lovely ##### Catherine J. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jess and James M. 21 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A castle fit for large family holiday of all ages The house is well located - 15 min walk to nearby town Portopetro. We spent a lot of time at the house enjoying the pools, the terrace and the BBQ. We have young children from age 2 to 13, the various play equipment and the two pool sizes make it easy for the parents. Worth mentioning the house has a view of a main road which can be a bit noisy. The weather was very hot during the week we were staying, fans were supplied but it was difficult to cool down a couple of rooms with small windows. Communication with the owner was speedy and very helpful before our arrival and during our stay. They rectified a couple of small issies straight away during our visit. We had a great time hanging out and spending time as a family in Majorca and got to explore some beautiful beaches nearby. Thanks for sharing your home. ##### Jess and James M. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John S. 5 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful, spacious house in a great location Finding a reasonably priced property that will accommodate 14 people between the ages of 3-60+ is quite tricky but this property gave us all we needed and more. Handily located on the edge of Porto Petro (about 10 minutes walking gets you to some lovely seafront restaurants) and very well equipped, we had a super week. Everyone loved the two salt water pools and the outdoor eating area. We made good use of the barbecue. Having 2 large fridges meant that food could be kept in one and refreshing drinks in the other and we were also grateful to have 2 dishwashers. All of the adult bedrooms were very comfortable and all were ensuite. The owner had originally intended to install aircon for 2024 but this has been delayed, so it was pretty hot overnight. However, we were very grateful for his prompt provision of extra fans. The local area is pretty with lots to do for kids (boat trips, paddle-boarding, beaches) and Palma is only around 50 minutes away. Highly recommended. ##### John S.

Spread over 3 floors with plenty of space it provides everything a large group will need. Close proximity to Portpetro. The property was clean, inside and out and the facilities on site were all you could ask for. If I was being picky, air conditioning would have made this property perfect.

Well laid out with twin bedded rooms close to a double room very suitable for families with small children. The pools and outside space were great it meant that you did not have to take the children out all the time for them to have fun, gave adults a rest as well. The villa is a10 minute walk from the centre of Porto petro where there are 8-9 excellent restuarents. it is also only about 15 minutes walk from several lovely beaches that were quiet when we were there. we used the bus several times to get further afield. the bus stop is only 5 minutes from the villa. ##### Michael M. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Lambert S. 2 Aug 2022 Liked: Communication, location #### Gedämpfte Urlaubsfreuden wegen Ungeziefer Wir wollten mit der Familie 2 unbeschwerte Wochen verbringen. Leider kam es dazu nicht. positiv: Pool, Lage, Grillplatz, Grundstück mit Spielplatz etc. negativ: tägliches Vorkommen von Kakerlaken auf Terrassen und im Innenbreich, Aussentüren (Vollglas) zur Terrasse und zum Poolbereich ohne jegliche Beschattung ermöglichen direkte Sonneneinstrahlung wodurch sich die betreffenden Innenräume unerträglich aufheizen,( keine Klimaanlage in den Räumen,) zweimaliger kurzzeitiger Strom- und Wasserausfall, Das gesamte Gebäude unterliegt der direkten Sonneneinstrahlung, da eine natürliche Beschattung durch Bäume nicht gegeben ist. Überhaupt ist das Objekt in die Jahre gekommen und etwas spartanisch, vor allem in der Küche, (verkalkte Kaffeemaschine, geeignete Kochtöpfe fehlen ) ausgestattet. Die aufgeführten Mängel und Beeinträchtigungen, vor allem aber das tägliche Vorkommen von Kakerlaken veranlassen uns, dieses Objekt nicht weiter empfehlen. ##### Lambert S.

Dazu: große Außenanlage mit zwei Pools unterschiedlicher Tiefe, Grill und Speiseplatz, großem Sandkasten und Rutsche, Schaukel und Trampolin sowie Beach-Volleyball-Platz. Alles in einem sehr gepflegten und sauberen Zustand. Bestens geeignet für Urlaub mit mehreren Familien\* oder Pärchen, da großzügig und mit Rückzugsmöglichkeiten drinnen wie draußen. \*Bei Kleinkindern ist bzgl. Wasserbecken und Treppen Vorsicht und Aufmerksamkeit geboten! Sehr gut mit dem Auto und dem öffentlichen Bus zu erreichen; Haltestelle keine zehn Gehminuten entfernt. Insgesamt waren wir ob der Ausstattung und Größe des Ferienhauses freudig überrascht; wir haben uns sieben Tage sehr wohl gefühlt. Wir kommen gern wieder! ##### Andreas C.
