Mediterranean Mirrors

Holiday Rental Description

In the winding, medieval streets of Pollensa's old town, this completely rebuilt townhouse hides a private plunge pool for cooling dips in the midday heat. Atmospheric restaurants and pavement cafes are on your doorstep. The whole house has been sympathetically renovated, keeping the honey-stone archways and wood beams. But the sleek kitchen belies the home’s history. It’s split across four floors, so those bagging the main bedroom – a suite on the top floor – have a fair few stairs to climb, but the view of shambling rooftops from the terrace up here is worth it.

Home truths:
*This home is set over four floors and all of the bedrooms are upstairs so it may not suit those with limited mobility
*Due to local energy-saving measures, the air conditioning is limited to use between 8pm and 8am, and 2pm and 4pm
*The private swimming pool is a rarity in the centre of town, but it is a little small
*There is no parking with this home, but you're in the centre of Pollensa, so having a car is not necessary
*Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
