La Vida Loca

La Vida Loca: Balearic Islands

This farmhouse has been renovated in such a way that it has retained its unique rural character while still getting to call itself a holiday home fit for the twenty-first century. Mallorquin both within and without, it’s built in the classic blonde stone of the area and filled with traditional dark wood furnishings, wrought iron beds and classic Mediterranean tiled floors. Spend your days lazing by the pleasingly large pool, enjoying long lunches on the covered terrace, and exploring some of the gorgeous local beaches — the sands of Cala D’Or are just 13 minutes away by car. Golf enthusiasts will be finding an excuse to visit the course at the nearby Club Vall D’Or and cyclists will enjoy the network of trails that criss-cross the island. Once the sun has gone down, fire up the barbecue, open a bottle of local wine and pass an evening under the stars with your loved ones.

Home truths:
*A change of towels and linen are included in the price, for stays of 12+ nights.
*The laundry room is in a separate outhouse.
*One of the double beds can be split into two singles if needs be.
*You won't find a welcome hamper or basic essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started.
*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.
*Your host provides a starter supply of toilet paper, but you might want to bring your own to top this up.
