Casa Montaña

Casa Montaña: Balearic Islands

Experience Mallorca's softer side at this peaceful inland villa, just forty-five minutes from the island's capital, Palma. With a private pool, vast modern living space and a spectacular mountain view, this Spanish paradise ticks all the boxes for a relaxing stay.

Wake up and drift out onto the terrace to take in your luscious surroundings – there's no shortage of flourishing foliage on the grounds of this property. As the birds chirp their morning song, enjoy a refreshing dip in your private pool, before whipping up breakfast to serve on the veranda. When you need to cool off from the sizzling sun, the luminous villa welcomes you with high concrete-beamed ceilings, contemporary furniture and a gentle colour palette that creates a calming mood.

Within half an hour, you can reach some of Mallorca's most beautiful beaches. The coastal town of Alcúdia, rich in buttermilk-hued buildings and winding, characterful streets, is well worth a visit. Don't forget to sample the local seafood paella while you're there.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, four guests will be sleeping on the two sofa beds in the bedrooms.
*Hen and stag parties are not allowed at this home.
*The swimming pool isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times.
*There is also a hot tub here.
*The kitchen is lacking some basic crockery and cooking utensils, so it might not be the best choice if you're planning family meals in.
*The kitchen knives are basic, so you might want to bring your own if you're planning to do a lot of cooking.
