Can Ternelles | 4-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Pollensa Pollenca

Eight guests, four bedrooms, one location that transforms a Mallorca holiday from ordinary to unforgettable. Can Ternelles sits 500 metres from the heart of Pollensa, close enough to walk to cobbled squares and ancient landmarks yet far enough removed to hear nothing but cicadas and birdsong. This luxury villa rental in Pollensa offers the rare combination of authentic Mallorcan village life and modern comfort—the kind of base where families and friend groups actually want to gather around the dinner table each evening.

Inside Can Ternelles

Can Ternelles sleeps 8 guests across 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, arranged thoughtfully across two levels to give every visitor genuine privacy. The ground floor contains two double bedrooms (each 150 x 200 cm), both with ensuite shower rooms and direct garden access—ideal for guests who prefer to avoid stairs or want immediate access to the pool. Both rooms feature air conditioning, built-in storage, and the kind of natural light that makes waking up feel like a privilege rather than a chore.

Upstairs, two additional bedrooms complete the sleeping arrangements: a third double (150 x 200 cm) with fitted wardrobes and air conditioning, and a fourth bedroom with joined twin beds (90 x 190 cm each) configured for flexibility. The first floor shares a single bathroom with bathtub, perfectly adequate for two bedrooms. Throughout the villa, air conditioning runs independently in each bedroom, allowing guests to control their own microclimate.

The ground floor living spaces unfold in an open-plan arrangement that encourages gathering. A wood-burning stove anchors the living room, flanked by comfortable sofas and a wall-mounted television offering English, Spanish, and German satellite channels. A dining table seating six sits beside floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the terrace. The kitchen—compact but thoroughly equipped with dishwasher, coffee machine, and full cooking apparatus—connects to a small breakfast table for four, positioned to catch morning light. A shared guest bathroom on this level serves the main entertaining areas.

Thoughtful extras include Wi-Fi throughout, a wall safe for valuables, and on-request provision of a travel cot and highchair for families with infants. The layout respects both social time and solitude—essential when multiple families share a rental property.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

Step outside and the villa’s true character emerges. A private saltwater pool measuring 10 by 4 metres dominates the garden, with depth graduating from 1.7 metres to 0.9 metres—allowing both confident swimmers and younger children to find their comfortable depth. Six sun loungers ring the pool deck, positioned to catch sun throughout the day. The surrounding stone terrace stays cool underfoot even at peak afternoon temperatures, thanks to strategically planted shade from mature trees.

A covered outdoor dining area seats eight comfortably at a substantial table, separate from a lounging pavilion designed for afternoon shade and evening aperitifs. An outdoor shower rinses off chlorine before returning indoors. A portable gas barbecue sits ready for evening cooking, though the villa’s equipped kitchen means elaborate dinners prepared indoors can be carried straight to the terrace.

Beyond the pool and dining zones, the garden itself provides a genuine asset often undervalued in villa descriptions—actual space for children to run, for groups to separate without tension, for reading in genuine solitude. A table tennis table offers entertainment on windier afternoons. Private parking accommodates multiple vehicles without the stress of searching for street spaces or paying hourly rates.

Location: Pollensa and the Surrounding Area

Pollensa itself occupies a position of genuine geographical and cultural significance on Mallorca’s northern coast. The town’s most iconic feature, the Roman Bridge (Puente Romano), stands practically on the villa’s doorstep—a 2,000-year-old testament to the island’s layered history. The town climbs upward from this point, its narrow streets lined with galleries, independent bookshops, and family-run restaurants serving food that hasn’t changed much since your grandmother was young. The 365 Calvari Steps lead upward to a hilltop sanctuary, rewarding the climb with views across olive groves toward the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range.

Markets operate twice weekly in Pollensa’s main square—Thursday and Sunday mornings are your best opportunities to buy locally grown produce, fresh fish, and artisan goods directly from producers. The supermarket Lidl sits 800 metres from the villa, handling everyday provisions without requiring a full expedition. Traditional restaurants within a two-minute walk include family establishments that have served the same dishes to three generations of diners; menus feature grilled fish, tumbet (layered vegetables), and flaó (local cheese tart).

The northern beaches lie 8–12 kilometres away by car. Puerto Pollensa beach, 9km south, offers long sandy stretches, beach bars, and consistent water conditions for swimming. Cala San Vicente, 11km northeast, provides a smaller, rockier cove surrounded by pine forest—dramatically beautiful and far less crowded than major resort beaches. Both are reachable in roughly 15–20 minutes by car. For serious beach days, Alcúdia’s 12km of sandy coast lies 15 minutes south.

The Serra de Tramuntana, Mallorca’s mountain spine, runs immediately behind Pollensa and offers exceptional hiking and cycling. The GR221 long-distance trail passes within walking distance of the villa. Mountain biking routes follow forest tracks through villages like Deià and Valldemossa, both 25 kilometres away and worth visiting for their architecture and art galleries. Wineries in the nearby Binissalem region (20km south) welcome visitors for tastings and lunch.

Palma airport, Mallorca’s main international gateway, sits 55 kilometres south—approximately 55 minutes by motorway. Transfer services can be arranged through Excellence Luxury Villas.

We also offer a full collection of luxury villas in Pollensa and can recommend properties across our broader portfolio of Spanish properties if you’re comparing destinations.

Best visiting months are May, June, September, and October—temperatures sitting comfortably between 22–28 degrees Celsius, water warm enough for swimming, and both the intense summer crowds and winter dampness absent. July and August see peak tourism but also the year’s hottest weather, occasionally exceeding 35 degrees. Winter (November–February) brings occasional rain but mild temperatures ideal for hiking.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Can Ternelles functions excellently for multi-generational family groups—grandparents, adult children, and grandchildren sharing one property without tension, because the four separate bedrooms and dual bathrooms allow genuine privacy. The ground-floor bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms suit older family members who prefer avoiding stairs.

Groups of friends or couples holidaying together find the open-plan ground floor perfect for shared cooking and meals, with bedrooms upstairs offering retreat space when someone wants quiet time. The dining table for eight and pool for lapping serve group dynamics well.

Families with children benefit from the pool (safely fenced and sloping), the garden space for running, and Pollensa’s walkable historic centre where children can safely navigate narrow streets. Parents appreciate that restaurants are literally steps away—no need to arrange babysitters for evening meals.

Couples seeking a quieter Mallorca experience (rather than beachfront resort chaos) appreciate the authentic village location and the privacy the villa provides. Solo travellers occasionally book here as part of a group rental but should note the property is designed for larger parties rather than solitary retreats.

People with mobility challenges find the ground-floor bedrooms with their own bathrooms and direct exterior access genuinely accessible—no stairs necessary to reach sleeping and washing facilities.
