Very chilled experience off the beaten track.

Traditional Spanish house with good space, nice pool area and lovely terrasse. The landlord was very kind and responded immediately to our requests. Selva is a quite village with shops for daily needs and good restaurants and cafés. For bike cycles entusiasts this is the ideal place! We would like to return to this house another time!

We planned to stay in Selva to attend my niece's wedding in the town so wanted a property that was in the right location, had a pool and space for 5 of us to stay - Can Rafael ticked all the boxes and more. The house is huge, a wonderful entrance hall with high ceilings, leading one way to a small lounge with full bathroom just off, the other to a dining room and into the kitchen (well stocked as we did plenty of cooking). However, the main draw is once you step outside to the wonderful terrace - a covered area with seating leading to another covered dining area then onto a fantastic pool with sun beds all around. Then there is the view - stretching out south across the island, simply stunning. The bedrooms are all good sizes, 2 upstairs with air con units, 2 others upstairs benefit from air con in a further lounge upstairs (the twin down stairs doesn't have A/C so may get a bit warm), one twin is en suite, 2 other bathrooms upstairs so plenty of room for families. The beds were comfortable enough and each room had plenty of storage for clothes. The house is on a side road approx 50m from the town square with 2 restaurants within a minute's walk (1 literally next door), plus a bank and 2 further bars / restaurants around the square. There is a small supermarket a short drive the other side of town (5-10 walk) for basic supplies so everything is within walking distance which puts the house in an ideal position (there is also a huge garage 20m from the front door for those with a car, ideal as it keeps the sun off and keeps the car cool). 1 minor point, there is no "welcome pack" (milk, bread, wine etc) which we have seen at similar properties across Europe and a few more towels would be beneficial but we have contacted Rafael and he will provide these going forward. All in all, this is a wonderful property, particularly if you fill all the beds as it then makes it VERY good value for money and one we expect we'll return to.

Our second time in this house, and we want to come back in two years! We are a family of 10 people, from 13 to 70 years, and we all love this house, and the little village of Selva! Very nice owner!

Vi är jättenöjda med vår vecka, bra hus med fantastisk utsikt och läge i Selva. Perfekt för att göra utflykter längs västra kusten. Trevligt bemötande från ägare.

Wonderful situated house for those who wishes to experience the quiet Mallorca, stunning view and perfect access to race Mallorca's mountains on bike. I simply love this house and its outdoor surroundings - but I would prefer to keep this house a secret of my own!! Raphael is a very kind and helpfull host. If I had to find anything to complain about - perhaps the kitchen could do well with a thorough cleaning. We hope to come back :O)

3rd stay at this fantastic, well appointed property. Pool has been upgraded and is a wonderful bonus to any stay. Almost an infinity pool with fantastic views across the island and Inca. Accommodation is extensive and beautifully furnished. Has a garage close by which is essential to avoid passing vehicle damage overnight in the narrow streets. Thoroughly recommend.

Fantastic house with lots of living space for a big family group. We really enjoyed our stay.

The Best location in town And an amazing view over the island

We had a fatastic time in Rafaels beautiful house. Everything is perfect, the house, the village and Rafael is the sweetest man, who is ready to help, if you want something. We will be back for sure :-). Kind regards Pia Hansen Denmark

old school Mallorcan charm in the heart of Selva

The house is located in one of the streets just off the main square in Selva. Although you're in the town, at the back there are fantastic views and you can see all the way to Alcudia Bay. It's very spacious inside, with 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms as well as two sitting-room areas. It's mainly decorated in a traditional style, with lots of beautiful paintings, but two of the bathrooms have been refurbished recently. There's plenty of outside seating surrounded by plants and flowers, whether you want to be in the sun or out of it, as well as a terrace leading out of the sitting room on the first floor. The pool is very clean, with Roman steps at one end. In the garden on the level below, there are fig, lemon, lime and pomegranate trees and it was great to be able to pick some of the fruit. Although the house is located next to a restaurant, the noise is very minimal and didn't disturb us at all. There are also several good restaurants in the main square, as well as a bakery and shop etc, so you don't need a car to pick up essentials (although we had one to get to Selva from the airport and to visit other places). There's also a small supermarket within walking distance. All in all, we had a great week and will definitely visit Selva again.

Lovely old rambling house at the top of a narrow street just off the main square; heaps of space inside and amazing views out across the valley. The swimming pool was icy cold (start of March) but it would be fantastic in the Summer. The oranges and lemons from the garden were a nice treat. I was there for a week's cycling, and Selva is a great base if that's what you're doing.
