Located on a hill between the towns of Son Carrió and Cala Millor, this authentic country villa is just a short drive away from some of the best beaches, hiking trails and cycling routes of Mallorca. Surrounded by olive trees, the garden features a private swimming pool, a covered terrace with views overlooking the local nature and an alfresco dining area. Meanwhile, shadier spots can be found inside, where the stone-clad walls create a cool (and characterful) ambience. While the interiors lack modern charm and appear dated in parts, the designs here don't seem out of place, given the heritage of this traditional home.
