Live the Balearic Island dream in this fabulous finca for six. Melding old and new, this magnificent Mallorcan, 300-year-old home has been lovingly restored so as to create a ravishing retreat perfect for small groups of friends and family. Surrounded by captivating countryside, this terrific terracotta home boasts a large garden, private, outdoor pool and two covered alfresco lounging and dining terraces – however you choose to spend your time here, you’re guaranteed a hefty dose of R & R. In the summer months you’ll love waking up in your four-poster bed, flinging open the wooden shutters and taking your morning coffee out onto the covered lounging terrace. Sit a while on the outdoor sofa and appreciate being surrounded by nature or laze on loungers in the sun before cooling off with a refreshing dip in your private pool. Prepare a feast of barbecued delights and dine alfresco around the wooden table. Round off the day with a little table tennis before cocktails in the outdoor easy chair area. At chillier times of year, you’ll love gathering in the large open-plan kitchen, dining and living room – all exposed stone walls, beautiful beamed ceilings, wooden doors and shuttered windows. Bliss out listening to music, cosy up by the fireplace or head upstairs for a game of two of pool before hosting movie night. Alternatively, if you feel you can tear yourself away from your countryside cocoon, the well-known white sandy beach, Playa de Muro is only a few minutes’ drive away. Whatever you do, you’re bound to feel like new.
