Casa Ostero | 2-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Pollenca Pollensa

Pollença’s countryside reveals itself gradually as you approach Casa Ostero, a 2-bedroom villa rental in Mallorca that sits less than 1.5km from the town’s historic centre. Four guests can settle into this rural retreat without sacrificing modern amenities—air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and a private saltwater pool occupy the same landscape as traditional stone terraces and almond groves. The villa strikes that rare balance between isolation and accessibility: far enough from crowds to hear birdsong, close enough to walk into town for Sunday market vendors selling fresh jamón and local vegetables.

Inside Casa Ostero

Casa Ostero sleeps 4 guests across 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Ground-floor living spaces flow in an open plan that combines rustic bones—exposed stone walls, timber-beam ceilings—with contemporary comfort. The living room features substantial seating arranged around a television and DVD player, while natural light floods through doors that open directly onto the pool terrace. The dining area seats 6, a breakfast bar separates it from the fully equipped kitchen where a dishwasher, microwave, and toaster handle the mechanics of meal preparation, leaving guests free to focus on the actual cooking. A safe stores documents and valuables; a washing machine handles laundry without requiring trips to town.

The first bedroom contains a double bed and opens onto the main living zone—ideal for parents or couples prioritising proximity to shared spaces. The second bedroom offers two single beds, a configuration that suits either young children or friends travelling together. Both rooms receive morning light and share easy access to the bathroom suite: one family bathroom fitted with a bath and shower combination, plus a separate shower room. High chairs and a cot (standard inclusions) adapt the villa for the youngest guests; additional cribs available on request.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The private swimming pool—8 metres by 4.5 metres—dominates the rear garden, its saltwater composition gentler on skin and eyes than chlorine alternatives. A removable safety fence (available on request) encloses the pool perimeter, a practical detail for families with toddlers. Sun loungers and parasols position guests for all-day swimming or afternoon reading in the shade; an outdoor shower rinses off chlorine before returning indoors.

Three distinct outdoor zones extend the living space. The covered terrace provides shade during midday heat and shelter during rare rain; the furnished outdoor lounge area beneath this shelter makes afternoon siesta or evening aperitivos a natural rhythm. A brick barbecue anchors the dining terrace, where eight can gather around a substantial table for al fresco meals—the kind of setup that turns Thursday dinner into an event. Beyond these manicured zones, the large garden area transitions to countryside views: olive and almond trees, Mediterranean scrub, and the distant line of the Tramuntana mountains. Private parking accommodates two vehicles with space to spare.

Location: Pollença and the Surrounding Area

Pollença itself clusters around a central church and spiralling cobbled streets that reward wandering. The Sunday market—held year-round—draws locals selling produce, cured meats, local cheeses, and artisan goods from 8am until early afternoon; arriving before 9am secures the best selection. The Calvari, 365 stone steps ascending from the town centre, offers panoramic views across the northern coast and as far as the Formentor Peninsula on clear days. Restaurants within the old town specialise in traditional Mallorcan fare: tumbet (layered vegetables), ensalada mallorquina (tomato and bread salad), and wines from local producers using the dark-skinned Callet grape variety—a varietal found nowhere else on Earth.

Puerto de Pollença, 6km southeast, transforms the experience entirely: a sheltered bay with 2km of pale sand, water sports facilities, beach clubs, and seafront restaurants. The water remains calm even when Atlantic swells reach Mallorca’s west coast, making it ideal for families and swimmers of varying confidence. Cala San Vicente, 8km northeast, sits quieter and more dramatic—a small cove backed by cliffs, frequented by hikers descending the Tramuntana trail system. The Formentor Peninsula extends another 8km beyond, its lighthouse and viewpoints accessible by car or demanding coastal walk.

Golfers find Golf Pollença—a 9-hole course—5 minutes’ drive from Casa Ostero, playable year-round and suitable for all handicaps. Serious cyclists and mountaineers head into the Tramuntana range, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that runs the entire length of Mallorca’s north coast; the mountain town of Sóller lies 25km southwest and merits a day trip for its orange-tree-lined plazas and narrow-gauge railway connection to Port de Sóller. Palma, Mallorca’s capital, sits 50km south—a 45-minute drive—and offers museums, Gothic architecture, and a cathedral dominating the waterfront. For wine education beyond casual tasting, bodegas around Binissalem (35km south) conduct tastings and tours through vineyards producing Callet and Prensal Blanc grapes.
