Terrific central apartment
We stayed for 10 nights in this great apartment. For us it ticked all the boxes. It was spotlessly clean, fresh, spacious, comfortable in a perfect central location. Everything was provided for a self catering stay. The weather was beautiful in the 30's but the evenings a pleasant 24-25. We didn't need to use the air conditioning which is in both bedrooms and living room. Instead we kept the bedroom windows open with the outside shutters closed. For us this was perfect. The balcony was great to sit out in the evening watching life in the street below. The balcony is quite spacious with table and chairs and a sun lounger as well as other easy chairs. Joan was excellent throughout our booking process, prompt replies and informative. It was lovely to meet him on arrival. He also had some very nice wine, waters and chocs for us. Arta is a lovely little town to visit if you want somewhere different from the tourist resorts. The restaurants are really good. We came across a lovely restaurant outside Arta while walking called Restaurante Sa Tafona de Son Fang. Its in the countryside in a beautiful setting. We walked to it in the evening in about 35 mins and got a taxi back. Great food, well worth a visit. We had great walks outside the town in the beautiful Mallorcan countryside. The via verde pathway (the old railway line now a walk, bike way) is also brilliant. We did some walking on it and also cycled. Bikes can be rented at the beginning of the pathway. The beaches on the coastline near Arta are beaututiful. Its rugged coastline, again great for walking. The water is the most stunning colour. We loved Cala Mitjani and Cala Torte. Casual beaches, no rows of sunbeds, great!
Overall I would highly recommend Joan's apartment in Arta and hope to return on another occasion.
