Villa Amarres is a lovely property—beautifully decorated and really well equipped (especially the patio, living room and the kitchen, which had a great range of pans and utensils—rare in rentals!). We were incredibly fortunate with the weather, but even without this, this was a lovely location and space for a very restful family break. We stayed in the first week of April and quickly realised that very little is open in the evenings. This definitely needs to be clearer in the listing, as it really limited nearby dining options. The two restaurants advertised as a 5-minute walk were both closed and don’t open until mid-April. The pool loses the sun in the afternoon—sure this won’t be an issue in summer, but it meant we didn’t use it as much as we’d hoped.We had a hire car—there’s a Lidl in Mahon about 25 minutes away (NB even big supermarkets close by 9:30/10pm). Fornells is a nice, well-lit 20-minute walk with plenty of places open for lunch this time of year, but only 2–3 spots open in the evenings. La Franola in Platges de Fornells is definitely worth the walk for an evening meal and beautiful sunset views.Pros: location, views, and overall standard.Cons: second bathroom is downstairs, and hot water is limited/unreliable—we had to stagger when we had showers as a family of three, so this could be tricky at full occupancy. No cushions for the loungers, which makes them very uncomfortable. Overall, a great holiday in a lovely place - would definitely book again.
