I Tumble Homeward

Situated in central Mallorca, this countryside villa is perfectly placed amid an expanse of green farmland. Just 900 metres away, you'll stumble across the hilltop town of Maria de la Salut – why not sample the native Ramellet tomato during its annual August night fair? Not only that, this area of the island is rich with hiking trails and cycle paths, so you can truly immerse yourself in nature.

Drive up to a traditional finca and put your feet up beneath the arched ceilings of this stone-built sanctuary – a perfect escape from the midday sun. In your open-plan living space, the large kitchen invites you to cook some Balearic cuisine for your family, but we imagine that you'll adore dining alfresco. Several steps down from this shady pergola, perhaps the barbecue station will tempt you into a sunset supper. With lovely landscape views, who wouldn't want to sunbathe by the plunge pool? Just don't forget to stay cool with a glass of horchata de chufa.
