Everything was as described… and what in some photos seemed 'well photographed' was actually exactly as depicted. Simply wonderful. We are delighted and got exactly what we were looking for. Absolute recommendation from start to finish. Excellent communication, the host was super friendly and helpful, and the property matched the description. We’re already thinking about when we can return 🙂

Cas Siulet by Rentallorca
It was our first time in Mallorca, and we chose the perfect town to stay in, Alcudia. Juan is a very responsive host. His place is paradise — beachfront and very private. Ideal for families and close to the old town. We had an amazing time at Casa Siulet. Juan provided us with water, sparkling water, snacks, and even Mallorcan wine to try. We loved Juan’s place and highly recommend it!

The location of the house is fantastic and peaceful, just a few kilometres from Alcudia Beach and the old town. You could spend hours enjoying the stunning view from the balcony or rooftop terrace. The pool was lovely and cleaned weekly. Communication with the owner was easy and friendly. A small supermarket nearby provided essentials. The house was very clean.
