If you're looking to steer clear of the tourist trail, this secluded home is an idyllic rural retreat. On a private road, you'll have no nearby neighbours but it's just a ten-minute drive to the beautiful town of Algaida – one of the most authentic spots on the island. Surrounded by ancient olive trees, and with an old well out front, it's a charming Finca within a walled garden. Here the order of the day is relaxation. You can bask in the sunshine by the pretty pool or seek out the shade in one of the garden's many interesting nooks – we love the covered dining terrace and the tucked-away barbecue spot. Stroll in the grounds, admiring the citrus trees, or hike further afield – inland Mallorca is a big hit with keen walkers and cyclists. The home itself has just the right blend of traditional character and modern conveniences, with a few stylish choices when it comes to interiors. Cooled by the age-old design of its high ceilings, stone walls and tiled floors, the living space is grand and classically furnished. Open plan to keep everything sociable, there's a comfy seating area, dining table and a modern, well-equipped kitchen. Most strikingly, there's a new floating metal staircase. And best of all, the master suite is set away from the main house, in a gorgeous separate guest house. With its own luxurious en-suite with a sunken bath and views over the garden, it's an intimate room where you can escape in peace.
