VILLA DETAILS
This immaculate and stylish villa rental is located in the scenic north of the island, just a few minutes from charming, old-town Pollenca. Once a Roman military outpost, this quintessential old village is now a hive of activity in summer - its square bordered with open air restaurants. Within 10 minutes are some of the finest sandy beaches on the island - including Cala San Vincente and wild Formentor. For the active, a range of water sports and beach fun are available in nearby Puerta Pollensa whilst the dramatic Tramuntana mountains - ideal for hiking, mountain-biking or a scenic drive to discover hidden monastery and mountain-top villages - form the backdrop to Pollensa. Unquestionably one of the island's most stylish villas - with views across cypress tree-lined hillsides so picturesque the area is referred to locally as 'little Tuscany'. C'Awanui is a must for a family villa vacation.

However service is not usually included in restaurants and it is common practice to leave the spare change, or up to 10% of the total in a smarter restaurant.
