Torre Pollentia

About this property

A three-bedroom, two bathroom traditional villa close to the old town of Pollença in the northeast of Mallorca. As soon as you walk through the door of this authentic Mallorcan villa, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into traditional Spain.

Walking up the paving stones which weave their way through the garden and up to the front door, you’ll be surrounded by native Spanish flora. This is part of a small forest that makes up the grounds of the house and is perfectly secluded and private, despite being only 3km from Pollença town.

The original features of Torre Pollentia create a cosy aesthetic as soon as you walk in the door. Wooden beams, white-washed walls and floor tiles in shades of terracotta run throughout the villa, creating a traditional and cosy aesthetic in keeping with the surrounding region’s landscape and traditional architecture.

You’ll be greeted by the welcoming living room, which has a large corner sofa, a TV, and a DVD player. A working fireplace completes the room and perfectly warms up the space if the Spanish nights turn cooler. In the corner of the living room are a simple dining area with a wooden table and benches that can seat six people. Adjoining the dining area is the fully equipped kitchen with a microwave, dishwasher and coffee machine.

The house has three comfortable bedrooms; two twin bedrooms, each with a double and a single bed, and one double bedroom. All have air conditioning with one opening onto a set of outdoor stairs which leads the guest to a rooftop viewing space with spectacular views of the surrounding greenery.

Two bathrooms complete the villa; one with a shower and one with a bathtub, each with pretty tiles, which add a dash of colour to the earthy tones.

The garden is surrounded by trees and greenery for full privacy, and the pool is undoubtedly a highlight of the property. Sun worshippers will be in their element on the loungers, and it’s easy to see why guests spend hours here topping up their tans. You’ll be surrounded by Spanish flora with rolling greenery in the distance, so your time outdoors is guaranteed to be peaceful and rejuvenating. If you’re in the mood to cook outdoors, then the barbecue and outdoor tables and chairs are there, which are perfect for some outdoor entertaining.

Torre Pollentia sits between the charming towns of Pollença and Port d'Alcudia in North East Mallorca. Pollença is an ancient town steeped in a rich history which can be discovered at every turn of its narrow and pretty streets. The 'Pont Romà' two-arched bridge dating back to Roman days continues to be a draw for visitors.

The town centre houses the 18th-century Mare de Deu dels Angels church, which has a beautiful rose window. The church is a fine starting point for learning about the fascinating history of the town itself, which dates back to the time of the Knights Templar. The centre beautifully mixes history and tradition with leisure; visit on a Sunday morning, and you'll find the square lined with market stalls and local Mallorcans relaxing with a coffee after church.

Other historic buildings are a former Jesuit convent which is now the town hall. One of the town's most popular destinations is the Calvari church. Climb the 365 steps (one for each day of the year) lined with cypress trees and be rewarded with views of the town and all the way up to the Bay of Pollença.

A few kilometres away is Port de Pollença. The stunning Port de Pollença Beach offers a horseshoe-shaped bay with soft golden sand, sun loungers, and parasols and offers a range of cafes, bars and restaurants. The popular coastal walk is the Pine Walk, named for the pine trees which line the cobbled trail and take you along a beautiful collection of sandy coves and little beaches.

A ten-minute drive away is Port d'Alcúdia, a popular resort town which, at high season, bustles with people who come to seek fun and enjoy the restaurants, beaches and activities that the port has to offer. The main beach is Playa d'Alcúdia which has received the much coveted European Blue Flag for its clean waters. Being very family-friendly, the beach has excellent facilities, including showers, toilets, and changing areas. There's also a children's play area and gym equipment, and for those wanting to get out on the water, there's a huge range of water sports. Kayaks, paddle boats, and stand-up paddle boards are all on offer. For those wanting something in the way of relaxation can rent lounge chairs and beach umbrellas for the day.
