For all its vibrant culture and contemporary vision as an island, corners of Mallorca still offer a nostalgic nod to a gentler, more traditional pace of life. On the outskirts of the village of Mancor de la Vall, presided over by the monastery of Santa Lucia on a hill nearby, this welcoming villa gives you the chance to slow down a little and enjoy the view – which in this case is the spectacular scenery of the Tramuntana Mountains. And yet, for all its ‘road less travelled’ charm, it’s just a short drive from the restaurants, cellars and local craft shops of bustling Inca, Mallorca’s third largest town.

Inside your villa, the style is engagingly eclectic: beamed ceilings, tiled floors and natural wood, polished to a good shine, with an equal measure of chrome, colourful modern art and white-painted finishes – and everywhere, there’s plenty of space. A covered terrace runs along one side of the building, overlooking the private pool, with an outside seating and dining area, perfect for morning coffees or evening drinks and there’s a barbecue there too.

If you feel like a wander for fresh bread or an apéritif, the village square is just a five-minute walk away, whilst the neighbouring villages of Selva, Caimari, Biniamar and Lloseta each have their own stories to tell and menus to share in a traditionally laid-back atmosphere, all around a ten-minute drive from Ca’n Sole. Nearby Inca, home to some lovely architecture, is also famous for its leather goods and there’s a market there every Thursday, one of the biggest in Mallorca, selling fresh produce and crafts from across the island.

Our choice of Mallorquín properties is as diverse as the island itself, ranging from simple seaside charm to comfortable and stylish. Much of our portfolio is privately owned, and price alone is therefore not a universal guide. We contract all our accommodation in person, and each property has its individual appeal.

To help you make the right choice based on your own priorities, we have devised a simple grading guide to be considered in conjunction with each individual property description, awarding up to a maximum of five stars for the below categories.
