Surrounded by century-old olive groves, this villa, wedged between the Colonya Valley and the Tramuntana Mountains, feels rustic – with exposed beams and rough stone walls – but not outdated. Combined with more modern touches, it actually ups the charm of this home, but even that appeal can't compete with the beautiful outdoor area. With plenty of seating for coffee, contemplation or alfresco dining and even more room for basking in the sun, the garden and private pool are where the entire family can come together, with mountain views thrown in for good measure. Location-wise, you're surrounded by hiking trails, beaches and the Pollença Golf Club.

Home truths:
*We suggest hiring a car for ease – there's parking space for up to three cars here
*The swimming pool isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times
*This home is spread over two floors, with no internal lift, but there’s a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom here for those with reduced mobility
*Your host can provide a complimentary cot and high chair – this must be requested at the time of booking, and you’ll need to bring your own cot linen
*Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
