We stayed in June 23. The house is lovely and the location is great We had what’s app communication with Verónica prior to arrival who gave us clear instructions on how to get to the property which was much appreciated as we were due to arrive at the house about 1030 pm so knew we would be trying to find it in the dark. As it was our flight was delayed and we arrived at nearly 0300. Rather disappointed to find no arrival pack in the house. Having carted 60kg of luggage up the hill we only had 1 x 500ml bottle of water for the 4 of us until the morning. A bottle of water and a loaf of bread would have been greatly appreciated on arrival until we could get to the shops (and previous reviews had said such items had been left) When we arrived the house was very hot and there were big signs up saying not to use the air con without permission, which we couldn’t do at 0300 so our first night was very hot and thirsty. Likewise the gas hob ran on bottled gas and was almost empty the 1st time we tried to use it. Veronica replied quickly and suggested the trick of tipping the gas bottle on its side to get the last of the gas which was enough to cook our dinner and the gentleman dropped off a new bottle later that night (although left us to install it ourselves despite the house instruction manual telling us we must not do that). The gas bottle should have been checked prior to our arrival. A little more attention to small details would have made it perfect.

Fornalutx is a fantastic location, pretty village with lots of restaurants a local shop and bakery. Ca'n Maylor is a lovely property with great outdoor spacesl, the pool and lounge area by the pool was great, and the terrace good for a late night drink and games of cards. The bedroom layout is a bit odd as the 2 double rooms are basically in the same room, so they are not very private from each other. My husband and I ended up in the twin room which is not a great room and not really what we expected on our holiday. This should be made clearer in the details. The bathrooms could do with an update, too. Otherwise a lovely house with everthing you need. The house manager was really helpful with directions and letting us drop our bags early.

An excellent, large finca that is ideal for a family, with 3 bedrooms, though one is accessed via another. The property is in a good condition, but it was a little tired in terms of paintwork at the end of the season. It was slightly disappointing to arrive and not be met by the agent (though we were very, very grateful for the early arrival and late check out time). We didn't realise we would be given all directions via WhatsApp (we had data roaming off!) and so didn't look to the app for directions etc (which actually were very good indeed). But with a little detective work we found it and the keys. Because of the weather on arrival (and perhaps because there had been no one in the week before?) the Finca felt a little dark, forlorn and unloved when we arrive as it was all shuttered up and there were piles of cushions from the various outside seating areas stacked up in the house. But just by opening the shutters (of which there are many!) and moving all the cushions outside, we soon felt at home and the sun shone. This is a large property and the grounds quite extensive with various terraces which we enjoyed , not least the salt water swimming pool (don't be fooled by the patina), at least twice a day. Be aware, that if staying in the village the hours of direct sunlight are inevitably limited at this time of year, due to the mountains. So the first week in October and the sun hit the pool at 10am and was gone by 6pm. Not an issue for us, but some may lament not waking up to sunshine or miss a late setting sun in the evening . The house is excellent and well provided for. It's location is approx 40m above the main car park (not an issue) up a small flight of cobbled path (beware again if hiring bicycles , and again it is possible, but it's a steep climb first to the top of the car park, then secondly a push up the cobbled path note: bike hire in Port de Soller recommended). You will soon adapt and the short walk to the bakery makes it all very worthwhile. A great base for exploring the area, with a bus into the port and countless walks, and hills for cycling.

Please believe all the reviews because this could not be a more perfect place to stay and with bars, restaurants and a shop just a short walk away, it was for us ideal. However when our son had a freak accident and ended up in hospital for a week, it just made having our holiday cut short even more cruel (the offers of help when we needed it from the hosts was certainly appreciated). We'll just have to come back and enjoy a full week another time if we can.

We had a wonderful 5 night stay and it was honestly idyllic. A beautiful location with breathtaking views. You do need to be reasonably fit to get to the little village as it’s accessed by 113 cobbled steps. The owner was really helpful and friendly. The finca felt like a real home with a stunning kitchen and big outside table. The only very slight overview on our part was that we had to vacate at 10am which was an hour earlier than we planned. However it was probably a good thing as we had a full day exploring before heading back to the airport late. An honestly wonderful holiday - thank you!

Fazit: Tolles, für die Gegend typisches Haus mit Blick über das Tal. Alles wie beschrieben und in sehr gutem Zustand mit sehr guter Ausstattung! Wir waren 6 Personen (3 Generation) 1 Woche in der Can Mayol. Die Übergabe lief reibungslos und Veronica der Manager ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Kommunikation per WhatsApp ganz unkompliziert - wir mussten noch Daten von Oma und Opa übermitteln und hatten eine Frage zum Haus etc. Man fühlt sich sehr gut aufgehoben und weiss jemand ist jederzeit lokal ansprechbar. Das Haus ist toll, besonders der Lebebereich Esszimmer/ die super ausgestattete charmante Küche und die mit Weinlaub übderdachte Mega-Terasse mit Blick über das Tal sind superlativ. Ein lauschiger Rückzugsort nach Tagestouren. Fornalutx ist ein von Tagestouristen gut besuchter wunderschöner Mini-Ort, wandelt sich abends zu einem idyllischen Bergdorf für Kenner. Alle Restaurants (7 oder 8 versch!! mit wirklich sehr gutem Preisleistungsverhältnis) sind zu empfehlen und ein Mini-Supermarkt hat alles was man benötigt. Bäckerei usw gibt es auch. Wir sind fast immer Abends im Ort geblieben und haben fantastisch gegessen und noch auf der Piazza gesessen. Leider sind wir nicht eingeschneit in der Woche ;-) Der Fußweg vom Ort zum Haus ist kurz, die letzten 70 m Kopfsteinpflaster-Eseltreppe (ungünstig für Koffer welche unbedingt gerollt werden müssen) ist aber etwas steiler. Auch die Großeltern hatten keine Probleme, da der Weg durch die Orangen/Zitronenplantage und der Ausblick entschädigen und man erstaunlich schnell fit wird. Auch der öffentliche Parkplatz ist kein Thema, wir haben immer mit 2 Autos kostenfreie Plätze vorgefunden. Prima auch der Salzwasser-Pool auf der oberen Plattform des Terassengartens - da stören die Kinder keinen beim plantschen, denn das Haus ist das letzte am Ortrand. Auch die Lounge-Area eine halbe Etage tiefer ist mit Blick über die Berge spektakulär. Beleuchtung usw funktioniert prima überall und Abends haben wir hier oft Zeit verbracht. Port de Soller hat sich auch toll gemacht - klasse Strandtage dort verbracht, alles renoviert und die Leute sehr sehr nett. Für Mallorca-Kenner sei gesagt, das die Strassen sehr kurvig sind in dieser Gegend und "mal schnell irgendwo hin" nicht klappt. Hat ja nichts mit dem Haus zu tun. Gerne machen wir in diesem charmanten Haus wieder Urlaub!

We have had a wonderful holiday. Everything was perfekt. The house is fantatically located , quietly, with views of the mountain, and at the same time right in Fornalutx. The house is amazing and we immediately felt at home. We would love to come back again.

Juste un mot: WOW!!!! Wow pour cette belle maison au charme fou, wow pour la vue incroyable sur les montagnes et wow pour cette magnifique région. Que du bonheur de pouvoir prendre le petit-déjeuner sur la superbe terrasse ombragée, de se prélasser sur le salon de jardin en fin de journée et de profiter de la piscine pour se rafraîchir. La maison est décorée avec goût et extrêmement bien équipée. Il y a vraiment tout ce qu’il faut pour passer un excellent séjour. Pleins de petits restaurants très sympathiques se trouvent à quelques minutes à pied. Il y a 6 couchages (matelas de bonne qualité).... à savoir que 4 couchages sont dans une même pièce (un lit se trouvant sur une mezzanine ouverte sur le lit en contre-bas) et deux autres couchages sont dans une chambre bien à part (je déconseille donc à trois couples d’amis mais idéal pour deux couples d’amis ou une famille avec plusieurs enfants). Nous y retournerons avec grand plaisir!
