Mountain Stone

Holiday Rental Description

In the cobbled streets of Fornalutx, meander through the "Most beautiful village in Spain" straight from your front door. Step into this ancient Moorish home through an old door and let yourself be welcomed by an indoor courtyard, perfect for a refreshment before exploring the rest of the house.

The white-washed nooks and crannies created in the 11th century have been modernised, but, with terracotta tiles, wood beams and honey-brown stone walls it still feels like an old Moorish retreat. Admire the mountains from the fragrant, bougainvillaea-shaded terrace with a barbecue on the go. Cool off in the plunge pool, surrounded by boho loungers. Get your yoga mat out in the studio and project your class on the walls before refreshing under the outdoor rooftop shower. This bean-bag-filled room doubles as a boho cinema pad too.

For the musical in the group, there’s a piano, and a library-style office if you need to catch up on emails. There are plenty of local restaurants for dinner. In the morning, directly access the hiking or cycling trails and creeks in the lush green landscape. Port de Soller and a swim in the ocean is only 15 minutes away by car too.


Home truths:
* There is free parking, but it is a five-minute walk away and there is on-street parking in the area too
*Though lovely and cool in summer, that stone and terracotta tiled floor will be cold underfoot in winter
*The plunge pool doesn't have a gate or fence so keep an eye on little ones
*Your host can provide a cot for infants, just ask
*An additional guest can be accommodated on a sofa bed in one of the top floor bedrooms
*Spread across three floors and ancient in design, this place may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
