Lie low for a while at this exquisitely private and traditional Finca set deep in the heartland of the Mallorcan countryside on a thirty-acre estate, and yet just twenty minutes from the coast. Every corner of this 200-year-old Finca delivers pure Mallorcan charm. Outside there are elegantly furnished terraces (so many, we've lost count) to soak up the vistas of the rolling countryside and mountains beyond. And inside, cool terracotta tiles, wooden beams, and antique treasures bring all the hacienda vibes. Sunny mornings call for coffee and lazy breakfasts on the terrace, then follow the meandering paths leading to an impressive saltwater pool for a cooling dip. Hugged by established gardens brimming with lemon and orange groves (G&T, anyone?), it would be impossible not to relax here. And when it's time to beat the heat, even on the hottest of summer days, inside the house feels cool and breezy with the shutters and windows flung open. Should you ever be convinced to leave this luxurious home, you'll find the handsome rural town of Algaida, with its wander-worthy narrow streets and authentic eateries, less than a ten-minute drive away. And a little further, the mighty Palma and the white sands of Illetas Beach (a twenty-minute drive).
