The Sun On My Shoulder

The Sun On My Shoulder: Balearic Islands

Once a farmhouse, this peaceful villa is located in the Mallorcan countryside, surrounded by open green space. While there are still a lot of traditional features here, including exposed wooden beams, stone walls and open fireplaces, the home has been brought up-to-date with contemporary en-suites and a picturesque swimming pool. The garden has lots of shady spots to escape from the sun and a large table for alfresco dining. Your host can even arrange a private chef to cook for you if you want an evening of complete relaxation. When you're ready to venture out, Manacor is an easy 5-kilometre drive. The beach is a little further, about 14 kilometres away.

Home truths:
*The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
*Air conditioning is only available on the upper floor. One of the double bedrooms is located on the ground floor, so it doesn’t have air-con. However, it's a good option for guests with limited mobility.
*Pets are welcome, but breed restrictions apply. Please contact your host for more information.
*The traditional decor inside may not be to everyone's tastes.
*We suggest renting a car to make exploring the island easier. There's on-site parking here.
