Casa Cabrera

Blessed with an unpretentious charm, this terracotta-toned villa sits in a quiet rural location, a short drive outside the traditional market town of Santanyí. While its simplistic interior isn't going to win any design awards, it's clean and well cared for, with authentic features throughout. Step outside and uncover an inviting pool surrounded by sun loungers and palapa parasols, plus a shaded dining area ideal for light lunches out of the midday heat. Away from the villa, you're well-placed to explore some of Mallorca's most beautiful beaches and secluded coves, including Cala Mondragó and Cala Màrmols.
