We spent much of our stay at this three-bedroom villa slightly slack-jawed at the beauty of the place. The honey-coloured stone of the exterior glows in the sunshine, while the turquoise salt-water pool glistens invitingly.

Inside, gorgeous stone walls, wooden beams and elegant furniture meet, resulting in a cool ranch-house style with every comfort you could wish for. Vast windows let light pour in, and create an open indoor/outdoor feel. Terraces line the house, with tables for alfresco dining as well as comfy swings and hammocks – it’s remarkably easy to while away several hours while drifting gently in the breeze.

The salt-water pool is tempting any time of the day, and there are sun loungers in the sun and shade. We loved starting our day out by the pool then moving to one of the long tables on the terrace for a barbecued feast. Meals stretched on for hours as the conversation – and vino – flowed, punctuated only by occasional games of table tennis.

The quiet town of Son Servera is only a sixteen-minute drive from the villa, with a weekly market and charming streets for you to explore. Golfers are well served in the area, with links at Pula and Son Servera less than twenty minutes away. You can enjoy the soft sands and clear waters of Porto Cristo beach in twelve minutes – why not drive out later in the day to watch the sun set over the water?
