Finca Valldemar

Property Description

Nestled into the Son Matge valley, just a few minutes’ drive from Valldemossa center, lies Finca Valldemar, a rambling, elegant, 130-year-old family home set in vast private grounds. To stay here is to step back in time, yet the house has been comprehensively upgraded for the 21st century, creating an exclusive base for a holiday with family or friends.

The main house is very large, with three bedrooms and bathrooms, two living areas and a big farmhouse-style kitchen. There’s an additional self-contained guest annex and multiple wonderful furnished terraces to sit and enjoy the unique atmosphere of the house and its grounds. The entire estate is yours to explore and enjoy. Relax on the stylish pool deck, cocooned by tall trees with the blue-green peaks of the Tramuntana mountains rising majestically beyond, or take a stroll through the terraces and citrus groves that would have once provided the main income for the estate.

Tucked away in the northwest of the island, Valldemossa is the sort of place that everyone wants to visit, yet opportunities to stay around here are relatively rare. It’s one of the most picturesque villages in Mallorca and one of several cultural hubs in this arty north-west enclave, host to music festivals and filled with galleries, studios and specialty shops, plus a very popular Sunday market. The surrounding countryside is a lush canvas of high mountains, deep valleys, and landscapes that have changed little for centuries.

Valldemossa center, with its many wonderful places to eat, is six minutes away by car, or you could try the restaurant at the Valldemossa hotel, just a two-minute drive. The coast at Port de Valldemossa is 15 minutes away by car, as is the vibrant little capital Palma, well worth a day of exploration around its cathedral, Gothic quarter, leafy squares and tempting shops, not to mention the many fantastic restaurants, including a scattering of Michelin stars if you’re celebrating something special. Whatever the occasion, Finca Valldemar is a wonderfully indulgent place to stay.
