A family-friendly villa on Mallorca

Mallorca is everyone’s first family holiday – and no wonder: it’s easy to get to with direct charter flights from a range of airports, with short flight time, reliable weather and glorious beaches.

Sa Torre is a traditional hacienda-style villa with three bedrooms and three bathrooms – so no queues for the bathroom whether you’re an extended family or friends holidaying together – and a glorious seven-metre swimming pool in the garden, accessed by Roman steps.

It’s tucked into a valley beneath the Tramuntana Mountains, between Pollenca and the small town of Campanet, with far reaching views and an orchard of figs next door. The beach at Puerto Pollenca is 20 minutes drive away.

The covered terrace provides shade by day and a BBQ venue by night, with another al fresco dining area at the other side of the house. The interiors are cool and traditional, with beamed ceilings, but the farmhouse-style kitchen is well-equipped and the plumbing in the three bathrooms bang up to date.

The Deal
A week’s rental in peak season, starting 18 or 25 July, 1, 8 or 15 August (changeover day is Saturday) was £1425 for the whole villa, but is now £1295, a saving of £130 in total.
Star rating – there are no official ratings, but Sa Torre is ‘very comfortable’ according to Freelance Holidays.
Board basis is self-catering.
Flights are not included: try Monarch, Thomsonfly, easyJet and others – eg charter flights from Luton available for summer Saturdays from £150-£200 per person return.
Freelance Holidays can pre-book car hire on request.
