Surrounded by striking mountains and lush green hills, this country house offers the perfect rural retreat in Pollensa. With stone walls, beamed ceilings and wooden window shutters, this villa is brimming with classic "finca" charm. The gem of this home is definitely the garden, which offers not only a private pool, but several terraces. Start your mornings with a coffee under the shade of the pergola, then enjoy a refreshing dip to feel energised for the day ahead. If you're keen to be by the ocean, the three beaches of Cala San Vicente are within easy distance, and offer fine, golden sand and crystal clear water. We highly recommend a visit to Pollensa town to fully appreciate the area's history and culture. Stroll down the attractive narrow streets to admire the traditional architecture and signs of a fascinating past, then head to the impressive main square, where you can stop at one of the cafes for a cafe con leche. While you're in town, pick some up some fresh ingredients then head home to try cooking some local dishes on the barbecue. The outdoor dining table is ideal for alfresco family feasts, surrounded by spectacular scenery. Post-dinner, go up to the balcony with a glass of wine to watch the sun set over the beautiful landscape, or get cosy inside by the fireplace.
