SUMMARY
This traditional Spanish estate retains all its rural charm with just enough modern updates for a sophisticated, peaceful and private family friendly retreat. The villa farms and produces high quality olive oil and through its fields roam our beloved furry residents, a flock of sheep and a pair of donkeys.

DESCRIPTION

(I) Location and general overview
Located at the very heart of “Sierra de Tramontana”, a UNESCO world heritage site, this Spanish hacienda sits on over eighteen acres of olive groves and Mediterranean gardens with stunning views of the valley of Sóller, the mountains and out to sea. Completely restored with modern updates the rural character of this traditional rustic finca remains. The exposed stone, timbered ceilings and colourful tile are mixed with contemporary and antique furnishings for a classic rural ambience.

(II) Detailed description
The spacious bi-level layout accommodates up to ten guests with five en-suite bedrooms, each with private bathrooms. With two spacious living areas and a dining hall, the house is perfect for groups or families.

Interior
In the interior of the finca the guest will find a perfect combination of modern and rustic elements: when sit down at the dining table one can certainly feel that a long history runs through the place, like in a time-honored mansion. On the ground floor there are three stately bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms that have been tastefully equipped with traditional and antique furniture. The remaining two bedrooms are located on the upper floor, which also includes a communal area and a newly designed bathroom. In the upstairs area the guest will also find the fitness gym —it is not a bad idea to do some exercise while overlooking the majestic mountain that serves as a backdrop of the poolside terrace. The gym is also equipped with a Kurzweil penning TV set to play some music or watch telly.

The gourmet kitchen with central dining island and double capacity professional appliances is a very functional fitting and ideal for entertaining. The u-shaped counter in the middle of the kitchen can serve and accommodate up to twelve people. If any of the guests has a real hand for cooking, this might be the best place to put it in to practice and try out a cooking demonstration. The refinements of fine cuisine are always best explained with a good glass of wine in hand.
There’s a separate media room that seats up to ten. This element of the house, which includes a projector, ahigh quality sound system and comfortable armchairs, allows guests to have a real home cinema experience. This space was also conceived to do presentations.

Exterior
The grounds and gardens are expansive, completely rural and very private. Laying on loungers by the pool on the roof terrace, the guest will marvel with astonishing views, a natural poem gradually unfolds in front of one´s eyes.

The garden allows for a little, intimate walk and feel the bark of the pine and other gnarled plants. Slightly hidden, the guest will come across an enchanted circled stone seating area perfectly suited to sip a cup of tea and plan the evening. A solid option might be to make use of our fixed barbecue area and later retire to the covered terrace that again allows for the best views of the valley of Sóller. Sitting on a large wooden table and surrounded by splendid pine trunks that go through the ceiling, the guests can enjoy of calmed and refreshing conversations.

(III) Surroundings
Outside the house perimeter, the guest can fully enjoy the lush green slopes of the Tramuntana Mountains, and perhaps feel a bit like the set of a beautifully made James Bond movie. The mesmerising beauty of the environment allows for a privileged experience in one finds itself among centenary olive tress, peaceful animals and the astounding views of the valley of Sóller. Walking around this area is a rare opportunity to let oneself go and truly enjoy nature.

The seasonal olive harvest and sheep sheering offer an interesting look into the workings of the farm with the option to participate or just contemplate the harvest and enjoy the tasting of our fresh-pressed olive oil on site.

AROUND
Just ten minutes from the town of Soller, the villa is located at the very heart of a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Sierra of Tramontana mountain range on the North-West side of the island. With miles of countryside before one´s eyes, the guest is also just about a couple of miles from the coast and the truly unforgettable Port of Sóller. A half hour inland drive will take you to the capital of Palma.

A winding road leads you from this special finca to the picturesque village of Sóller, this small town retains its original charm and is ideal for shopping and wondering about. Sóller is well know for its countless cafe bar terraces where to enjoy a freshly made espresso.
