You’ll find this typically Mallorcan villa a five-minute wander from the heart of Pollença’s old town, where charming cafes, bars and restaurants line the cobblestone streets and a farmers market sells fresh produce every Sunday. A short drive to the northeast places you at Port de Pollença, famous for its picturesque beaches and hiking opportunities – the Boquer Valley walk was one of our favourites. After soaking up the sunshine on Platja Can Cap de Bou, head home for a barbecue on the patio and some drinks by the pool.

Listen to the cicadas chirp as you enjoy a game of table tennis in the garden then head inside to unwind in the cosy living space – we loved the rustic ceiling beams and exposed stone walls. Make a beeline for the balcony with a nightcap in hand to watch dusk fall over the treetops and when the sky becomes inky black, retreat to the charming bedrooms for a deep and restful slumber.
