The Farfalla Alcudia, Balearic Islands

Property Description

Cosy and characterful, this single-level finca is nestled between Pollença and Alcudia. It's an ideal base to explore northern Mallorca, where you'll find weekly markets in historic villages, sandy beaches along the coast, and time-honoured Spanish restaurants. When you're not out exploring, it'll be easy to feel right at home in this charming, albeit traditional, hideaway. We love the stone-clad walls and wooden beams inside – not to mention that each bedroom has an en-suite – but the old-world accents won't suit everyone's tastes. That said, the sunny garden is sure to be a hit. With its shady terrace, private pool and grassy lawn, it's the perfect spot ideal away lazy afternoons.

Home truths:
*The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
*Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There’s free private parking here.
*The air conditioning here operates on a timer. It runs twelve hours a day.
*The swimming pool may only be open from April to October – please check with your host for the exact dates. It also isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised.
*If you're travelling for work, you won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
