About this property
Enveloped by olive trees and almond groves with stunning views over the Tramuntana mountains, this Sa Pobla villa in Mallorca blends a country escape with island living. The gorgeous pool may be the star of the villa’s expansive grounds, but the terrace and outdoor sitting areas certainly compete. Fire up the BBQ, grab a glass of wine, and settle into comfy chairs beneath the covered patio. Start a game of table tennis while the cooks prep, and when dinner is ready, dine al fresco while overlooking lush countryside.
Inside the villa, the open space is warm and inviting, with ample places to gather - from the modern kitchen to the spacious dining room, to the cosy lounge beside the fireplace. The balcony upstairs is a perfect place to stargaze and accessed by the upper bedrooms. Each of the bedrooms includes en suite baths, including an impressive master with walk-in shower and Jacuzzi tub for ultimate pampering.
Turquoise waters and pristine beaches are under 18km away at Port de Pollenca. In town, Sa Pobla hosts shops, restaurants and a rich cultural heritage. The Revelta de Sant Antoni festival dates back to 1365 - a must see if visiting in January.
Aceituno Traumantana is a lovely villa surrounded by olive trees and almond groves, enjoying spectacular views over the Traumantana mountains.
In Sa Pobla, less than 10 minutes drive away, you have a wonderful chance to wind down and chill out, seemingly a million miles away from the pressures of the modern world. Small pretty streets, traditional Mallorcan shops selling mouthwateringly fresh local produce and local crafts, and at the heart of it all the beautiful old quarter which gives Sa Pobla its special ambience.
The pace of life is gentle in Sa Pobla. It’s a wonderful place to amble around, stopping for a cafe con leche in one of the bars or cafes, or enjoying a tasty traditional Mallorcan meal in one of the town’s family-run restaurants. If you fancy a little culture, take a gentle stroll around Sa Pobla’s museum. This, together with the local parish church, will give you a fascinating insight into the history of the town.
As is the case in many Mallorcan traditional towns there is a weekly market held on Sunday mornings in the town square. If you are with children on a family holiday, then a visit to the town’s museum of toys and games is a no brainer. Suitable for children of all ages, the fascinating display will keep the little ones occupied for hours.
One of the best things about Sa Pobla is its splendid location. Virtually everything you’ve ever wanted from this lovely Mediterranean isle is within easy reach of the town. There is beautiful countryside to be explored in the vicinity, and being near to the coast, you can visit the delightful beaches to the north of the town in places like Port d’Alcudia and Can Picafort, as well as the renowned wildlife nature park at S’Albufera.
Incidentally, the area surrounding Sa Pobla is known as “the land of a thousand windmills”, a pointer to the strong agricultural tradition associated with the area. An added advantage is that Sa Pobla is so well served by transport links. Not only are there major roads connecting you with the capital Palma, but also one of the lines of Mallorca’s fast and efficient rail network terminates at Sa Pobla.
