When you first arrive,:
The peace and quiet has an almost monastic quality and at the front of the house a pretty vine-covered terrace with masses of flowers and potted plants, provides a warm and colourful welcome. The entrance door leads into a small hallway with, on one side, a neatly furnished double bedroom and a modern tiled shower room. On the other side of the hallway, a narrow wooden staircase leads to a little gallery bedroom tucked away in the eaves with a single bed and an ideal den for a teenager.
Further down the hallway,:
The neat, galley style kitchen has a gas hob, electric oven and large fridge freezer, plus attractive fitted cupboards and two gleaming lengths of marble work surfaces.
Beyond the kitchen, the living room has an appealing farmhouse ambience with beamed ceiling and high shelving containing a colourful collection of local ceramics. There's also a feature fireplace and dining alcove in one corner, whilst at the opposite end of the room is a door to a spacious twin room, softly lit by dappled light from windows to the rear. From the living room, patio doors lead out to a lovely covered terrace fringed by grapevines and with remarkably serene views across miles of open countryside. The terrace is furnished with a large rustic table and benches, for long and lazy lunches, as well as comfortable sunloungers for siestas! Steps lead down from here to a purpose built barbecue and beyond gravelled pathways meander off through the lovely gardens to the oval shaped swimming Pool.
Sa Cova Foradada:
Also has a large tiled roof terrace, with magnificent views of the surrounding countryside, perfect for sunbathing.
For shops and restaurants, the picturesque little fishing village of Porto Petro is just 2 km away, whilst for more choice and variety, the local market town of Santanyi and Cala D'or are ten to fifteen minutes by car, which we consider is essential for this property.
The owners, two quiet Mallorquin sisters in their sixties, live next door and look after the gardens and pool, with what can only be described as tender loving care.
