About this property
VILLA RAFALS - JEWEL IN THE MIDST OF NATURE
Chalet Els Rafals is an authentic Mallorcan country house set in a privileged location in the Serra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Surrounded by nature and offering stunning mountain views, it provides privacy, tranquillity and an authentic countryside experience in the heart of the Tramuntana. There is no mobile phone coverage in this area, allowing you to fully enjoy the peaceful surroundings. However, the villa is equipped with excellent high-speed Wi-Fi, so you can stay connected whenever you wish.
The villa, with its rustic charm and traditional Mallorcan character, is arranged over two floors.
On the ground floor you will find a spacious living and dining room, a second lounge with satellite TV and international channels, and free Wi-Fi throughout the property. The traditional Mallorcan-style kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. This floor also features a twin bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, as well as a separate bathroom with a shower.
Upstairs there are three further bedrooms: two double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and one twin bedroom with its own private bathroom. All bedrooms are equipped with hot and cold air conditioning, available daily from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm and from 9:00 pm to 8:00 am.
Outside, there is a covered terrace with a comfortable seating area and an outdoor dining space. From here you have direct access to the private swimming pool and sun terrace, the perfect place to relax while enjoying the beautiful mountain views. Next to the kitchen you will find a traditional stone barbecue with a lovely outdoor dining area.
The property is set within an extensive private estate in the area of La Rafal, approximately a 15-minute drive from the charming historic town of Pollença, where you will find excellent restaurants, cafés, local shops and the famous Sunday market. Puerto Pollensa and Cala Sant Vicenç are both around 20 minutes away by car, offering crystal-clear beaches, spectacular coves and a wide range of water sports.
A car is highly recommended to comfortably explore the surrounding area and discover the spectacular landscapes of the Serra de Tramuntana.
Chalet Els Rafals is the perfect choice for guests looking to disconnect in a unique natural setting while enjoying comfort, privacy and authentic Mallorcan charm.

A villa with character and a beautiful view
The villa has a lot of character and a beautiful outdoorspace with a wonderful openview on the mountains . It's rustic as you should expect from a historic building but clean and well maintained. It is a 15 minutes drive from Pollensa.
The beds were ok but can have thicker matrasses.

Beautiful place with pool
Beautiful place in nature with pool and BBQ place for a group of 11 friends, relaxing place and cosy, OWL bookings very helpful
Some beds were hard
Es war perfekt und wir konnten die Natur in absoluter Ruhe und Stille genießen!!!
Als kleine Idee: Eine elektronische O-Saft Presse würde beim nächsten Aufenthalt sicherlich die Krone aufsetzen.
Herzlichen Dank für die schöne Zeit!

Mitten in der Einsamkeit
Die Ruhe
Die Matratzen könnten mal erneuert werden.
Die Lage (ca. 5 Km von der Hauptstrasse der Stadt Pollenca in die Nähe des Tramuntana-Gebirges) ist etwas abgelegen und lädt sehr zum erholsamen Aufenthalt ein. Wir haben die Lage sehr genossen. Die erste Anfahrt wirkt etwas rustikal. Je öfter man die Strecke zurück legt, wirkt alles normal. Eine sehr schöne und saubere Finka. Wir werden bestimmt wiederkommen.
Très bon séjour entre amis dans une maison très agréable avec un très beau décor
Nous avons passer un très bon séjour dans cette agréable maison au très beau décor cependant la maison est difficile d'accès et nécessite une voiture.
Des nids de guêpes étaient présents et auraient nécessité une extermination.

Unterkunft für Abenteurer :-( Finger weg!
Es erfolgt keine Übergabe vor Ort. Das Haus ist generell muffig/miefig im Haus u. wurde unzureichend gereinigt. Der Innenbereich stellt sich in Wirklichkeit bei Weitem nicht so dar, wie es die Bilder mutmaßen lassen. Die Küche ist unzureichend bestückt. Es fehlt an allerlei Equipment, um eine vernünftige Selbstversorgung sicherzustellen. Überdies dürfte sich ein Ameisenbau im Unterbau der Holzküche befinden. Die Zimmer entsprechen nicht der Beschreibung. Das Schlafzimmer neben der Küche ist kein Zimmer. Das dürfte früher wohl die Speisekammer gewesen sein (keine Fenster - 2m²). Das Schlafzimmer im Erdgeschoss ist ebenfalls sehr klein und mit zwei Feldbetten Kategorie Bundeswehr bestückt, hat aber ein winziges Fenster. Zwei Schlafzimmer im 1. Stock hatten ebenfalls Minifenster und waren mit zwei Standventilatoren bestückt. Einer davon jedoch defekt. Das zusätzliche Zweibettzimmer war nicht zu verwenden, da es wiederum keine Fenster hatte. Der Wasserdruck des mittleren Badezimmers im OG war schwach, sodass duschen nur mit sehr viel Geduld möglich war. Die Beschreibung: „jedes Zimmer ist mit großen Ventilator ausgestattet“ ist irreführend. Man muss dazu sagen, dass wir zu einer Zeit dort waren, wo es sehr heiß war. Das bedeutet, das Haus hat keinerlei Isolierung und es fehlt an jeglichem Komfort. Die Zimmer im OG sind nahezu unbelüftet. Es war unerträglich heiß, sodass schlafen nahezu unmöglich war (Zimmertemperaturen von bis zu 34°). Der Außenbereich ist nett. Die Pumpe des Pools ist mit einer Zeitschaltuhr bestückt, die nicht manuell bedient werden kann. Die Zeitschaltuhr der Pumpe läuft nur alle drei Tage. Das Wasser ist somit nach einem heißen Tag bereits am Kippen. Am Ende des zweiten Tages hat man bereits Bedenken, dass das Wasser ev. Bakterien enthält, die die Gesundheit der Kinder gefährden könnte. Hinzu kam, dass in unmittelbarer Nähe des Pools unzählige Wespennester angesiedelt sind. Die Tiere sind im gesamten Außenbereich permanent präsent und natürlich war nach kurzer Zeit der Pool mit unzähligen toten Tieren überdeckt, die jedoch nicht von den Filter aufgenommen werden konnten, da die Pumpe nicht lief. Die unzähligen Wespen machten überdies einen Konsum etwaiger Speisen und Getränke im Außenbereich unmöglich. . Zusammenfassend muss ich leider sagen, dass wir zutiefst enttäuscht sind von der Unterkunft. Ich hatte bisher nicht annähernd eine solche Bruchbude. Selbst für erfahrene Campingurlauber wäre ein Aufenthalt eine Herausforderung.
Sehr schönes Haus. Hat alles gut geklappt. Ein Auto ist notwendig. Ein / Zwei Ventilatoren wären gut. Ansonsten waren wir alle 12 Personen zufrieden.

Dreckig, ungepflegt und zwei Zimmer ohne Fenster
Leider war dieser Urlaub nicht gelungen. Die Finca war unglaublich schmutzig, Haare, tote Insekten.. Alles in der Dusche. Die Betten sind eine Katastrophe. Zwei Räume haben gar kein Fenster. Wir haben schon öfter Finca Urlaub gemacht.. Aber das hier ging gar nicht. Man mochte nichts anfassen. Es gab keinen Kleiderschrank in meinem Zimmer.. Dafür hingen in einer Nische, die staubig war Bügel.
Es gab weder Bettwäsche, noch hatte ich eine Bettdecke, die ich hätte beziehen können.. Nur ein Bettlaken.. Das war doch noch ganz schön frisch.
Wenn das Wetter schlecht ist mag man sich nicht in diesem Haus aufhalten.
Übrigens lassen sich auch die Türen der Zimmer nicht vernünftig schließen.. Dieser Umstand würde schon mal bemängelt. Und somit ist für mich klar, daß es niemanden interessiert, wie bewertet wird. Es wird nur kassiert.
Sehr schade!
Es war sehr schön und alle unsere Erwartungen wurden erfüllt und übertroffen. Danke!

Wunderschön!
Es hat uns sehr gefallen! Es schaut wie eine museum aus, eine ausgewonliche Ort. Das Unterkunft ist perfect gestaltet für 12 Personen, mann findet alles was man braucht, von handuche Liegestuhle an Pool oder Tische wo mann immer gemainsam sitzen kann! In die Küche gibst ales was man braucht zum kochen für 12 Personen! Wir bedanken uns, es wahr sehr schön!
Das einzige was uns ein bißchen uberasch hat wahr das pool, sie hate an unsere Ankunft tag eine grüne Farbe, aber 2 Tage danach ist jemanden gekommen und hat das geregelt, danach wahr das Wasser klar blau mann konnte immer durchschauen!
Nice experience in this beautiful location, plenty of nature and very peaceful environment. Still a short drive to Pollensa old town. The villa is ancient (I heard 300 years old from the owner) but nice refurbished inside and with all the equipment needed for a comfortable stay.

10 schöne Tage!
Wunderschöne alte Finca mit fast historischem Charme. Alles da was man braucht, herrlich abgelegen und ruhig. Anfahrt abenteuerlich aber man gewöhnt sich daran. Wir hatten 10 schöne Tage dort. Bis auf Kleinigkeiten alles top!
Wenig Steckdosen, bzw. Mehrfachstecker, Kochgeschirr teils abenteuerlich, Kühlschrank für bis 12 Personen an der Grenze, wenig Schränke... aber das sind Dinge die im Urlaub zu verschmerzen sind, alles in allem ein schönes Haus in toller Lage. Uns hat es gefallen....

Pests everywhere
Not for usThe property was a bit dark and rustic for us. Kitchen a bit small and some bedrooms had no window. Worst of all was lack of aircon in 35 degrees. We had to buy fans.
Also there were hundreds of mosquitos ..everyone of us bitten. Added to this there were were wasps and two of us were bitten hand had allergic reactions.
We had a fantastic stay here in mid May. The weather was hit and miss and a bit cold to go into the pool but we still managed a few swims. The house is so spacious you could enjoy your time indoors as much as outdoors. With log burners, a pizza oven and plenty of social spaces. Note that you'll need your own speaker as the radio didn't get much signal but the internet reception was great.
The house is almost at the end of a long winding lane up the mountain which means it is a bit inconvenient if you are planning to pop in and out but we managed to come down in about 12 minutes to Pollensa town and up I'm 15 minutes of you're a confident driver (not quite the 20 minutes the sat nab indicates). Make sure you follow the sat nab. People following directions made a wrong turn into a dirt track and one got a puncture. Most cars are fine if you follow the right path.
The house itself is very authentic and there is lots of charming (sometimes funky) furniture and nooks and crannies. Not too keen on the colourful bright faux flowers and cushions so we hid those for our stay.
Our slight disappointment was with the size of the rooms as they look a bit larger in the photos. There are two very spacious ensuites. One sleeps 4 the other sleeps 2. The third double shares a bathroom with a twin room (which only has a skylight as window). Then there's a twin ensuite downstairs. And a small room which could fit two singles (just about) but it only had one single when we were there. This is slightly the short straw (if you use it) as the room is by the kitchen and shares the downstairs loo and also only has a small skylight for a window. However once the bedroom allocation is resolved the place is magical.
The secluded location, the vast amount of outdoor areas and seating to chill out and socialize, the views into the steep mountains, and the animals that graze nearby (donkeys and sheep), the lush planting all make for an unforgettable holiday. We also got a masseuse to pop over and relax us. If you're thinking of hiring taxis (found them more economical than mini buses) they do make the trip and works around €36 from Alcudia or €80 to Palma airport. The only downside is you cannot book in advance but they're readily available.
As far as beaches Playa Formentor Is a must!! Feels like the Caribbean came to the med. You do have to pay for parking it's about €0.05 per minute but totally worth it when we went it wasn't too busy.
We loved everything about it!
Lite kallt i huset, men i övrigt en härlig vistelse

Schöne, abgelegene Finka
Schöne große sehr abgelegene Finka. Im Garten gibt es Zitronen- und Olivenbäume. Erholung pur, falls man nicht am Pool entspannen möchte kann man die Schafe und Ziegen sowie Esel beobachten. Ein Traum!
