Casa Garrova Spain
Holiday Home Rental Description
A four-bedroom, two-bathroom traditional villa within a short walking distance of Pollença old town in the North East of Mallorca.
As soon as you encounter the charming orange facade of this Mallorcan villa, you’ll feel like you’re in a home away from home. The large wooden doors with touches of wrought iron open up into a spacious hallway filled with natural light. Earthy brown tiled flooring flows into the adjoining living area, which has a TV, coffee table and colourful sofas. In the corner is a cosy dining area complete with a table and chairs where guests can dine on their delicious meals prepared with locally sourced produce. Continuing on the ground floor is the fully equipped kitchen which has a dishwasher, juicer, and coffee machine.
A twin bedroom on the ground floor is tastefully decorated with clean white walls and linens and has a wardrobe and air conditioning.
Leading out from the ground floor is a set of doors taking you to a covered outdoor dining area which seats six people and has a barbecue; the perfect place to dine al fresco! White steps lead down to the pool area, which has a pleasant seating space and a view of the surrounding rooftops.
The first floor of the property is accessed from the living room by making your way up the pretty tiled and wrought iron-decorated stairway. Upstairs you’ll find one double bedroom and two single rooms, all with air conditioning and decorated in the same neutral tones and bathed in natural light. There’s also a full bathroom with a bathtub and shower.
From the third floor, guests can enjoy a rooftop area with sun loungers which overlook Pollença. A combination of stunning views and the Mediterranean sun make this a space where guests love to spend hours, either topping up their tans or admiring the landscape with a glass of wine in hand.Casa Garrova sits close to the charming town of Pollença and is a short fifteen-minute drive to 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. Those wanting something in the way of relaxation can rent lounge chairs and beach umbrellas for the day.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
