Ca's Penelope

Large windows and open rooms ooze calm in this curved 50s house. The kitchen/dining room is the hub, with seating for eight and plenty of space for helpers. All the kit you’ll find, including lots of recipe books, reflect the owner’s love of cooking and the generous hamper bulges with nice things for breakfast and a light supper too. Mostly you’ll be outdoors, chasing sun or shade, snoozing in a hammock or cooling off in the pool. Children can scamper safely and there’s another big table with very comfortable seats.

Bedrooms are spacious, all with lovely views and smart en suites, one with its own roof terrace for quiet mornings with a cup of tea listening to birdsong. It’s a five-minute walk uphill into Fornlutx, twice voted ‘the prettiest village in Spain’ with winding, cobbled streets and good restaurants. Take the tram to Sóller port for even more choice.

Come back to your little slice of paradise and feel happy to be here.
