VILLA DETAILS
The villa's terraces are well-positioned to capture mountain and sea views and provide opportunity for al fresco dining. The 9m heated swimming pool - with summer kitchen - makes an ideal retreat to relax under the shade of a pergola or to soak up the Majorcan sunshine. The villa is particularly suited to a family villa holiday; indoors the second floor is solely dedicated to a children's dormitory, with up to 5 single beds, TV, DVD, games and original PlayStation console; while outside the pool area is gated and a table tennis and football table will keep little ones (and some bigger ones!) entertained for hours. The rest of the villa is spacious, comfortable and well-equipped. Overall, a fine villa with a host of amenities, a short distance from restaurants and beaches in one of the most sought-after locations on the island.

CURRENCY INFORMATION
The Euro (€) is the official currency of Majorca. Coins are available in 1 cent, 2 cent, 5 cent, 10 cent, 20 cent, 50 cent , €1 & €2 denominations. Notes are available in €5, €10, €20, €50, €100, €200, €500 denominations.
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.
ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE FORMALITIES
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.
