Sa Cova Foradada, Cala D'or, Mallorca (Majorca)

One of three holiday villas in a tiny rural community hidden away in marvellous untrammelled countryside, just a five minute drive from the superb sandy beaches of Cala Mondrago, Sa Cova Foradada is a pristine little house, bursting with character and charm and set in lovely, whimsical gardens with great swathes of bougainvillaea and numerous varieties of flowering shrubs, as well as orange, lemon and almond trees, plus the odd stately palm. When you first arrive at the front of the holiday villa  a pretty vine-covered terrace with masses of flowers and potted plants, provides a warm and colourful welcome. The entrance door leads into a small hallway with, on one side, a neatly furnished double bedroom and a tiled shower room. On the other side of the hallway, a narrow wooden staircase leads to a little gallery bedroom tucked away in the eaves with a single bed and an ideal den for a teenager.

Further down the hallway, the  galley style kitchen has a gas hob, electric oven and large fridge freezer, plus attractive fitted cupboards and two gleaming lengths of marble work surfaces.

Beyond the kitchen, the living room has an appealing Majorcan farmhouse ambience with beamed ceiling and high shelving containing a colourful collection of local ceramics. There's also a fireplace and a dining alcove in one corner, whilst at the opposite end of the room is a door to a spacious twin bedroom, softly lit by dappled light from windows to the rear. From the living room, patio doors lead out to a lovely covered terrace which runs round two sides of the Villa, fringed by grapevines and with remarkably serene views across miles of open countryside. This deep terrace is furnished with a large rustic table and benches, for long and lazy lunches and is a great place for a siesta in the middle of the day. Steps lead down from here to a purpose built barbecue and beyond gravelled pathways meander off through the lovely gardens to the oval shaped swimming pool.

The villa also has a large tiled roof terrace, with magnificent views of the surrounding countryside, perfect for sunbathing. An outside shower room with WC provides an extra facility and here you will also find a washing machine.

For shops and restaurants, the picturesque little fishing village of Porto Petro is just 2 km away from the villa, whilst for more choice and variety, the local market town of Santanyi is ten to fifteen minutes by car.

There are approx 7 steps up to the raised pool which has a minimum depth of 1.5 m and from the narrow terraces around the pool there is a similar unprotected drop of 1.5 m.

Porto Petro, Mallorca
We feel that this lovely harbour side fishing port is maybe one of Mallorca’s best kept secrets. Less than an hour’s drive from Palma Airport and neighbouring the sophisticated and cosmopolitan resort of Cala D’Or, Porto Petro has retained its small town feel ...More about Porto Petro >>
