Alcoves & Archways

In the rolling Mallorcan countryside between the medieval hilltop towns, this villa embraces island traditional and farmhouse rusticana. Honey-hued stone is on display inside and out, and the home’s original stone archways and alcoves whisper of the past. The double-height kitchen and dining room is almost cathedral-like in their old grandeur, yet furnishings are modern and stylish. An archway leads to the living room, set around an iron-cast wood-burner that can keep things cosy in the cooler months. The rusticana continues in bedrooms with wood-beamed ceilings and ensuites with sinks hewn from stone.

The highlight of this home, though, is the outside space. Stone steps lead into the turquoise swimming pool – the perfect tonic to the Balearic heat. A full outdoor kitchen with a built-in grill and bread oven can cater for long lunches at the rustic wooden dining table, and palm trees rise up from the lawn to shade poolside loungers.

Home truths:
*This home is located on a quieter part of the island, so we'd suggest hiring a car for ease of getting around.

*The pool is not heated.
