VILLA DETAILS
Casa St. Anthony has been extensively renovated in the last year and is tastefully decorated with all modern amenities including satellite TV and DVD player, iPod docking station, PC for guest’s use, Wi-Fi internet, air-conditioning throughout as well as a modern fully equipped kitchen and security alarm system.
The house is set in over 5 acres of private land with plenty of olive, almond and carob trees that provide welcoming shade during hot summer days. Guests can also relax in the teak sunloungers that surround the 12m swimming pool or enjoy a glass of cold orange juice on one of the several al fresco lounge and dining terraces. 4 adult bikes (and 1 kids bike), table tennis, floatable pool toys or board games will entertain the children in the meantime.
In Cala d’Or (approximately 20-30minutes' drive from the villa), the owner’s yacht can be chartered on advance request to explore the nearby bays called calas with their crystal clear turquoise water and sandy beaches. Please ask your A&K Villas Consultant for further details and daily rates (incl. skipper, excl. fuel).

MONEY MATTERS
Travellers cheques are widely accepted for exchange or purchase in major cities, but in more rural areas, visit a bank to exchange them for Euros. Major credit cards are widely accepted here (though a limited number of merchants have American Express accounts) and ATM access is widespread.
Exchange currency only at authorized outlets such as banks and hotels, and exchange only what you think you will spend in-country. Coins cannot be reconverted on departure.
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 Spanish 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.

Travel documents are your responsibility. In general you should have:
- A signed, valid passport that will remain valid for at least 6 months beyond the completion of your trip. Your passport must have enough blank pages (excluding amendment pages) available for entry and exit stamps issued when entering and exiting immigration points.
- Visas are required for certain nationalities and you are strongly advised to check your status allowing plenty of time for visa application.
