Mallorca’s other relatively untrammelled corner is its far north east. Here, amid the ancient hunting grounds of the Mallorquín kings, are the delights of Artà, with its Sanctuary of Sant Salvador.

Not far away lies the sleepy village of Son Servera and, on its outskirts, a restaurant not to miss – the Serra de Pula. It’s one of many excellent eating places in the area. Also within easy reach are superb beaches from Cala Mesquida down to Cala Mondragó, and if you feel like a change of scenery, the fast hydrofoil from Cala Ratjada will whisk you off to Menorca for the day.

Recently built in traditional style with a large south-facing garden, terraces and a well appointed, spacious interior, Casa de Pula is situated along a secluded country lane, amidst rolling farmland at the foot of the Serra de Llevante and offers all the ingredients for a relaxing holiday.
