Not coming to France this year and looking for a great place to stay in Spain?
Much as we'd love to see all of our visitors back every year we do realise that it's nice to have a change now and again.
Sometimes we're asked about other place and if we've 'contacts' in the trade elsewhere. Well there's one place in Mallorca that we know and recommend personally. Here's the web site address where you can check it out for yourselves:

But don't forget we'll be waiting to welcome back to La Charmante the year after!

What's your dog's name and is he okay?
The dog is called Vince and is the most obedient animal I have ever owned, he sometimes goes walking with the guests as he does not need a lead and comes when called.

The last time he went with guests they got lost and it was Vince who showed them the way home (maybe should have called him Lassie).

How far is the nearest shop?
There's a good general shop just two minutes walk from the house. It's open "all hours" - opening very early in the morning at 7.30 am. It stays open all morning until mid-day then closes for lunch, re-opening at 4.30 until quite late - 7.00 pm.

Check in is from 5pm and check out is not later than 12noon, but as we are a family run business we can be flexable with prior notice
