The Botanist's Retreat

The Botanist's Retreat: Balearic Islands

Delivering knockout vistas of Pollensa Old Town from a private terrace and pool, you can see why this rustic home caught our eye. Granted, the interiors aren’t anything to write home about, and the kitchen is dated, but for a fuss-free family holiday close to all of Majorca’s best bits, this home works. You’re within walking distance of the delightful old town of Pollensa for evening meals in the square and only a ten-minute drive from the gently sloping shores of Puerto Pollensa. Now, how’s that for a location?

Home truths:
*There is private parking allocated outside the home.
*One cot and one high chair can be provided for little ones on request in advance.
*The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
*It’s worth noting that the third bedroom with twin beds does not have air conditioning.
*There are steps to reach the poolside area, which may be unsuitable for guests with restricted mobility.
*Your nearest supermarket to pick up essentials is two kilometres away.
