Sa Torre, Campanet, Mallorca
A charming hacienda style villa with all three bedrooms boasting en-suite facilities and offering comfortable family accommodation concealed behind glossy green shutters, Sa Torre is set on one side of the valley that winds between Pollenca and the engaging small town of Campanet, a little over 5 mins drive away .
Simple farmhouses scatter the surrounding wooded hillsides, interspersed with the occasional grander property commanding the higher ground; olive groves give way to fields of sheep and along the valley floor, the old road meanders gently between the two towns, almost devoid of traffic, a relic of a bygone age of leisurely driving.At the heart of the property the cool and spacious covered terrace - a conservatory a la Mallorquin - provides the perfect venue to linger over a barbecue, whilst erstwhile serving as a thoroughfare from living room to kitchen. Nearby, the sparkling 7 metre swimming pool is finished with classic blue mosaic tiles.
Double doors open from the terrace into the farmhouse style kitchen, with traditional beamed ceiling and a huge wood burning stove in one corner. Wooden units with a marble work surface extend along one wall, incorporating a range style gas cooker, microwave oven and large fridge freezer. There is a dining area to the rear of the kitchen, beyond which a door leads to a small covered yard housing a washing machine and a traditional Mallorquin bread oven.
A second set of double doors lead directly from the terrace into the living room where a sofa and chairs, are grouped around an ornate wood burning stove, whilst a gleaming linen chest and treadle sewing machine give a touch of old world elegance.
To the right, a door opens directly to the ground floor twin bedroom, the windows revealing views of the swimming pool across the terrace. The en-suite shower room can also be accessed from the kitchen and proffers a short cut for that early morning cuppa.
On the other side of the sitting room, a short corridor leads to a further, slightly smaller bedroom, with double bed and en suite bathroom.
Standing alone at first floor level, the second twin bedroom, with en-suite shower room offers a touch more privacy and has patio doors to its own small balcony, from where incidentally we spotted an exotically plumaged Hoopoe, in the little orchard of fig trees adjoining the pool.
Campanet is just under 10 minutes drive away, whilst Old Pollensa is approx. a 15 minute drive and it is just a further 5 minutes to the beaches of Puerto Pollensa.
Sa Torre has a TV with satellite receiver (limited English channels).
