VF013  This charming, comfortable four-bedroom, three-bath villa with accommodation arranged over two levels, has the benefit of air conditioning to all bedrooms and a good sized private swimming pool surrounded by attractive and completely private enclosed terraces. The villa is located on a large plot (c1000 sq m) in the pleasant village of Son Vilar, close to Es Castell and Mahon, a perfect base to explore the nearby beaches or enjoy the numerous facilities of the neighbouring towns, both around five minutes away by car.

There is a main entrance hall with, on the ground floor and to the right, a twin bedroom with ensuite fully tiled shower room/WC. At the end of the entrance hall. to the left. is the living/dining room, comfortably furnished in a traditional style and equipped with satellite TV (access to English language free-to-view channels) plus DVD and music system.

To the rear of the living area, on a raised level, is the dining area, and to the left of this is the recently renovated kitchen with an extensive range of light ash units and equipped with gas cooker, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster, electric kettle and all the crockery, cutlery and utensils necessary for a self-catering family holiday.

Stairs lead up from the entrance hall to the first floor and the other bedrooms. One has a double bed and full ensuite, the other two have twin single beds. All bedrooms have ample fitted wardrobes. There is also a further bathroom on this level, with bath, shower attachment, WC and basin.

Outside, there is a partly enclosed and pergola-covered dining patio to the pool side of the villa, accessed by french doors from the dining area - an ideal place for al fresco dining. On this side elevation, gated from the villa, there is also the attractive 9x4m swimming pool with access via ladder and by roman steps to the 0.8m shallow end. There are ample tiled terraces surrounding the pool with sunbeds and terrace furniture, plus a large parasol. The pool is largely enclosed by a high rustic drystone wall and mature shrubs and trees, providing a pleasant environment for relaxing and sunbathing as well as complete privacy from neighbouring villas. To the front of the villa there is another small covered patio area with table and chairs, and to the rear a small gravelled garden area.

Although the owners have sought to retain the charm and overall styling of a traditional early '70s villa the property has benefited from considerable improvements in recent times, including new floor tiling throughout nearly all of the property, a new kitchen, air conditioning and updating of the pool and pool terrace areas.
