VILLA DETAILS
Built around a central courtyard suitable for dining, El Sueño is an ideal family villa. The property is well equipped with air-conditioning in all the bedrooms, satellite TV, fitness equipment in the pool house, four open fireplaces, high-speed Internet access and under floor heating should it be necessary during low season. The garden is magnificent and the gardener will even bring you some home grown produce for you to enjoy during your stay. El Sueño has the ultimate luxury of being a stylish house with complete privacy as it is in the peaceful north-east of the island, away from the tourist hubbub, and a mere 2 kms from the medieval fortified town of Artà.

Save all receipts from any currency exchange transaction. You may be asked to produce them when you exit the country, and they are required if you intend to reconvert local currency.
TIPPING IN MAJORCA
The Spaniards are fairly relaxed about tipping etiquette. 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. Taxi drivers and bartenders may be tipped less. Many petrol stations are not self service, however it is not usual to tip the station attendant.
