Mountain Daze

Mountain Daze: Balearic Islands

Nestling on the lower slopes of the Tramontana Mountain range and set within its own hedged gardens, this idyllic villa is perfect for a family getaway. Carefully restored this former farmhouse dates back to the 18th century. Characterised by its wealth of traditional features this fabulous finca boasts exposed stone walls and terracotta-tiled floors as well as Mallorquin doors and wood-panelled ceilings. What’s more this stunning stone-built home also comes complete with an incredible outdoor offering.

You’ll love waking up, flinging open the shutters and stepping out on your private sun terrace for views of the pool and Pollença hills. Take your morning coffee out to the comfortable seating area on the covered terrace before taking up residence on the poolside patio. Stretch out on one of the loungers in the sun or shade and make headway with your holiday read. Feel rejuvenated with a reviving swim in your oval-shaped, outdoor pool before rinsing off beneath blue skies.

Get the grill on or gather in the rustic, outdoor kitchen before feasting alfresco around the solid oak banqueting table. Spend the afternoon playing at ping pong in the garden or picking grapes from your host’s vineyard, what could be better? Alternatively, if you fancy exploring the local area, picturesque Pollença is approximately 2.4km away while the nearest beach is under 9km away.


Home truths:
*Some guests said the kitchen was not very well equipped, and lacked basics such as salt, pepper, oil and detergent. The home is quite far from the nearest supermarket, so we'd recommend bringing a few bits and bobs with you or stocking up on your way.
