Description Sunbeams On Stone: Maria de la Salut

Tucked away in Maria de la Salut – a small hilltop town in central Mallorca – this cosy home for two is a wonderful pied-à-terre. Modern comfort and traditional style blend beautifully, with crisp, clean interiors that enhance the beauty of the traditional stonework of the terrace.

Though the quiet, leafy setting of the house lends itself to rest and relaxation, you’re not far from the fun. Drive just nineteen minutes to reach Can Picafort, a gorgeous white sand beach with the crystal clear waters you think of when planning a trip to Mallorca. To really get a feel for how locals live, on Wednesdays head to Sineu and its authentic and historic market. In nine minutes you can be browsing local produce and livestock at a market that’s taken place for over 700 years.

If you’ve loaded up on fresh veggies and seafood, you’ll be grateful for the modern kitchen at the villa. Open up the sliding doors and enjoy a glass of wine while your paella is simmering. Dine under the stars, and spend the night spotting constellations and making memories.

Home truths:
*Some guests thought the kitchen here was not well equipped, and said it lacked some basic items such as salt, pepper, oil, coffee, crockery and utensils. It might not be the best option if you're planning to cook a lot.

*A car is recommended here, especially if you're planning to hit the beach or explore the island.
