Hidden Depths

Hidden Depths: Balearic Islands

This home is a rare gift – a townhouse with a private pool in the heart of Pollensa Old Town. It’s a short stroll from the town’s buzzing bars, restaurants and shops, and the hiking and biking trails into the Tramuntana Mountains. The pool is more like a plunge pool than a spot to swim laps, but it’s the perfect tonic to the Mallorcan heat. The ground floor features a modern kitchen with a dining area opening straight to the pool terrace, as well as a separate lounge area perfect for relaxing. On the first floor, a shaded terrace looks out over the rooftops to the mountains.

Home truths:
*This townhouse has twisting internal stairs to the bedrooms, so would not suit those with limited mobility.
*The swimming pool is quite small, but it is a rarity this central in town. It is unfenced, so children should be supervised outside.
*In keeping with energy-saving measures on the island, the air conditioning is limited to certain times of the day.
*Your host can provide a high chair for infants on request.
*There is no private parking with this home, but you're in the heart of Pollensa's old town with amenities on your doorstep.
