Slow the pace at this rural villa, tucked away in the heart of the Mallorcan countryside. Whether it's the idyllic views, alluring swimming pool, lush orange and lemon tree-lined garden, or the pretty dining area on the terrace, this home encourages you to relax and soak up the beauty of the great outdoors. On top of that, you're a fifteen-minute drive from the sandy beach and crystal-clear waters of Puerto Pollença, while the charming Old Town is a short stroll from your door. Stepping inside, you'll soon feel right at home with the traditional features of the cottage kept perfectly intact. Escape the midday heat by curling up on the sofa with your holiday read, feeling comfortable and cosy under the wooden beams and besides the rustic fireplace. It's a wonderfully bright and open space that invites your group to socialise over breakfast and cooking in the fully-equipped kitchen. But we reckon most of your time will be spent outdoors, basking in the achingly gorgeous surroundings, perhaps with a game of ping-pong, a grilled dinner with use of the barbecue, or sundown drinks on the pretty terrace.
