Terranea

Terranea: Balearic Islands

If you're here to get away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist trail, this unique and characterful villa feels a million miles from civilisation. Set on over 700 acres of private land, this place offers complete and utter seclusion. And it's not just the size of the plot that makes this a special home – the traditional finca has accommodation split across several buildings, making it ideal for a group who don't want to be on top of each other.

The interiors are classic, with oil paintings covering the white walls, wooden beams running across ceilings and antique furniture bringing old-timey charm. Stroll through the gardens to reach the raised private pool, with views across the countryside. Continue walking and you'll come to a boardwalk that takes you to a quiet stretch of coast. This must be heaven.
