About this property
Down a quiet country lane near Pollença, Villa Barrett is a stone-clad Mallorcan Finca with lots of charm. Set in beautifully landscaped gardens, the house is within a few minutes of the Puerto Pollença beaches and makes a great choice for a family getaway, with a children’s play area and private pool.
It’s a pleasure to take time out at this traditional 4-bedroom home, which gives guests fine views of the mountains clad with pine trees. The wonderfully scented gardens have plenty of space to relax, with sun loungers, a 10x4m swimming pool, and an L-shaped covered terrace with seating and dining areas wrapped around the house.
Also on the terrace, you have a brick barbecue, and there’s space for up to ten guests to dine. A poolside shower is another convenient addition, and while the children enjoy the swings, slide or see-saw, the adults can have a game of table tennis. Inside, a comfortable family lounge has a Plasma TV, DVD, music system and Wi-Fi to entertain you, and a well-equipped oak kitchen is found on the same level. A double and a twin bedroom, both with fitted wardrobes, share the use of a full bathroom.
Upstairs, two more twin rooms with an adjoining shower room enjoy some beautiful views over the nearby olive and almond groves.
Lying to the east of the Serra de Tramuntana, pretty Pollença is perfect for wandering, with historic churches and little, café-fringed squares. Walkers and cyclists flock to the mountain, while the town itself has plenty of small boutiques and restaurants to please the less energetic. Puerto de Pollença, the port, is the place to head for to visit the beach – or you could follow the coastal path to the eye-catching Cap de Formentor lighthouse.

Alcudia is one of the most visited destinations in Majorca, with its history, charm and gothic revival architecture. It has plenty of magnificent, scenic sandy beaches for you to explore stretching several kilometres giving your party ample space to explore, some even offer great places to snorkel (not all of the beaches that can provide this activity will have the equipment to hire).
For the families or the kids at heart, there is the Alcudia Hidropark with a water golf course, water slides and pools. You may also pursue the streets of Alcudia for their open-air street markets and sample the food they have to offer.
Alcudia is not the only stunning place to visit nearby, you have Cala Sant Vicenc – home to three beautiful beaches, as well as Pollença just along the coast. Pollença is an alluring town, at the base of the Tramuntana mountains, which is the largest natural reserve on the island, well known for its beauty and scenery. It was recently declared a World Heritage site, and the mountain range offers spectacular views and is a wonderful destination for hikers, cyclists and even bird watchers.
Pollença is also rich in history with the famous Calvari steps which are a 365-step stairway that leads up to the chapel on the top of the hill known as Calvary. It is also home to a Romanesque 19th-century bridge that is shrouded in mystery, as no one knows for sure its origin.
There is so much to explore, experience and take in as you visit the nearby towns, there truly is something for everyone in this spectacular part of Spain.

This is a very nice place to stay, clean and beautiful garden. Kids loved the pool! Lots of space. It is good to have a car as there is no public transportation. For shopping we went to Eroski and Lidl, who have good opening hours. Can highly recommend Pollença and Cala Sant Vicence. We also found a nice restaurant in Finca 49. Thank you for the stay!

Absolutely lovely villa. Outside space is fantastic especially the pool and play area. Contact responded really quickly to queries and was really helpful. Organised us a taxi into Pollença and we rebooked the taxi everyday as they knew where we were then as it’s a bit difficult to explain.
