Description Mosaic Waters: Las Palmeras

A short walk away from the horseshoe bay of Puerto Pollensa, this villa is as laid-back as the neighbourhood it's in, making it a perfect base for families. From here, it's easy to explore the architecture and stretching beaches of the resort town, making time to stop by the weekly market on Wednesdays. The bedrooms are on the smaller side but still comfortable and practical, and besides, you'll find more breathing room out back on the terrace, where a private pool – with a mosaic design – will keep the most energetic of the bunch busy for hours. Spot the stone barbecue where you can grill whatever you can't prepare in the little kitchen, before enjoying it alfresco.

Home truths:
*The swimming pool isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times
*This home is spread over two floors, with no internal lift – it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
*Though a car isn't essential, you'll find parking here should you choose to hire one
*It's possible you might hear some noise from neighbours during your stay
*Your host can provide a complimentary cot and high chair – this must be requested at the time of booking, and you’ll need to bring your own cot linen
*Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
