Casa Sion | 4-Bedroom Apartment with Private Pool in Pollenca Alcudia
Holiday Home Rental Description
Pollença’s medieval old town draws you in with narrow cobbled streets and honey-coloured stone facades, and Casa Sion sits at its atmospheric heart. This four-bedroom townhouse rental sleeps eight guests across three floors of contemporary-meets-traditional living, where exposed stonework meets glass doors that flood the interior with Balearic light. You’re positioned within walking distance of the Plaça Major’s café culture, yet stepping through Casa Sion’s front door transports you into a private sanctuary of modern comfort.
Inside Casa Sion
Casa Sion sleeps 8 guests across 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, arranged across three distinct levels that maximise both privacy and togetherness. The ground floor functions as the social hub: a generously proportioned living area opens directly onto the terrace through floor-to-ceiling glazing, creating an almost seamless flow between interior and exterior. The lounge seats eight comfortably, anchored by a contemporary fireplace and outfitted with a satellite television. The open-plan kitchen features a glossy white cabinetry run with breakfast bar seating, dishwasher, washing machine and coffee maker—the kind of workspace where holiday cooking becomes less of a chore. An eight-person dining table sits adjacent, ideal for lingering breakfasts and evening gatherings.
The first floor houses three bedrooms, each with its own ensuite. Two identically configured rooms contain twin single beds and sleek shower facilities—practical for siblings, friends or extended family members who prefer separate sleeping arrangements. A third bedroom on this floor features a double bed paired with its own shower room, offering slightly different accommodation for guests with alternative preferences. Stairways of contemporary design connect each level, creating clear sightlines without cramping the available space.
The top floor reveals the master suite: a generous double bedroom showcasing original exposed stonework and ceiling beams that frame the space with rustic authenticity. The ensuite bathroom here distinguishes itself with both bathtub and separate shower, plus access to a private sun terrace—an elevated retreat where morning coffee tastes measurably better. An additional sofa bed in the ground floor living area accommodates one or two further guests if required, bringing maximum flexibility for larger groups or extended stays.
Outdoor Spaces and Living
The terrace extends south-facing from the ground floor, creating a sheltered microclimate where even cooler shoulder-season months feel Mediterranean. The heated swimming pool measures 5.00 metres by 2.00 metres—intimate rather than sprawling, yet sufficient for genuine swimming and cooling off during Mallorca’s warmer months (the pool operates from late March through early November, weather dependent). Quality loungers cluster around the water’s edge, with parasols providing shade during midday heat. A covered section offers respite, whilst the barbecue anchors alfresco dining arrangements. The patio proportions are ample, avoiding the cramped sensation sometimes found in old-town properties where square footage commands premium pricing.
The master bedroom’s private terrace provides a quieter vantage point, elevated above street-level activity yet maintaining views toward the surrounding roofscape. Air conditioning throughout and a heat pump system manage temperature control across all seasons, whilst Wi-Fi connectivity ensures staying connected without obligation.
Location: Pollença and the Surrounding Area
Pollença itself merits exploration beyond Casa Sion’s threshold. The town’s Plaça Major functions as its beating heart—ringed by authentic restaurants, contemporary galleries and speciality boutiques where proprietors have resisted chain-store homogenisation. The celebrated 365 Calvari Steps ascend from the square toward a hilltop church, Nostra Senyora dels Angels, rewarding the modest climb with panoramic vistas across Pollença Bay. The Sunday market brings vendors selling fresh produce, prepared food and artisanal goods, embodying the Mediterranean tradition of weekly commerce that still defines small-town Mallorca.
Puerto Pollensa, merely 5 kilometres distant by car, transforms the experience entirely: a working marina fringed by white-sand beach, shallow warm waters and a promenade lined with casual seafood restaurants. The Puig de Pollensa mountainside monastery sits approximately 3 kilometres from town centre and rewards a 40-minute uphill walk with views extending across Pollença Bay toward the dramatic Cap de Formentor headland. The Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, designated UNESCO World Heritage status in 2011, forms the backbone of northern Mallorca’s landscape—accessible via driving, hiking or cycling routes that reveal everything from terraced Moorish villages to clifftop miradòrs like Mirador de Ricardo Roca and Mirador de Ses Barques.
Alcudia Old Town, 12 kilometres south, preserves medieval walls constructed under King Jaume II in the early 14th century, encircling narrow streets of architectural character and cultural significance. The town hosts classical music festivals and traditional fiesta celebrations throughout summer months. Port d’Alcudia extends a seven-kilometre Blue Flag beach complemented by dolphin-watching excursions and glass-bottomed boat tours. Wineries punctuate the surrounding countryside: Bodegas Can Vidalet operates near Pollensa itself, whilst Mortitx requires navigating hairpin mountain bends between Pollensa and the monastery of Lluc—rewarding effort with estate wines and mountain vistas.

Palma de Mallorca airport, the island’s principal gateway, lies approximately 60 kilometres south—roughly 50-60 minutes by road depending on traffic and time of day. Transfer arrangements can be pre-booked through our concierge service. The nearest supermarket, Carrefour Express, sits approximately 0.5 kilometres from Casa Sion within the old town. Seasonal considerations: May through October offer reliably warm weather ideal for pool use; July and August attract peak tourist numbers and command premium rates; shoulder months (April-May, September-October) provide agreeable temperatures with reduced crowds; December through February remains mild by northern standards (average 10-15°C) yet unsuitable for consistent swimming.
Who This Villa Suits Best
Casa Sion accommodates groups of eight seeking walkable town-centre access without sacrificing contemporary amenities or private outdoor space.

The heated pool and compact footprint appeal to those prioritising convenience over sprawling grounds.
