About the home

Casa de Almendras (House of Almonds) is a stunning 4 bedroom villa, set in a large almond grove, which forms part of the property, offering a superb rural retreat with breathtaking panoramic views, taking in the quaint village of Santa Margalida with its beautiful night-lit church. Despite its private and tranquil location, Casa de Almendras is only a 10 minute drive from the lovely beach resort of Ca’n Picafort, with its many and varied shops and its sweeping sandy beach lined with bars and restaurants. The villa is also only a short drive away from other popular destinations in the delightful North East of Mallorca such as Alcudia, Pollença, Port de Pollença and Cala San Vicente.

Indoors, the Villa comprises a fully equipped, luxury kitchen (with separate laundry room), superb dining room and spacious living room, with a double bedroom and bathroom also on the ground floor. Upstairs there is a master bedroom with its own en suite bathroom and private balcony and one double bedroom and one twin bedroom, each with en suite shower rooms and sharing a large south facing balcony. All bedrooms are air conditioned.

Outside there is a large covered terrace for dining al fresco, or just keeping out of the hot sun. The enclosed gardens are beautifully landscaped with extensive lawns, flowering shrubs, almond, olive and fruit trees, a 10m x 5m swimming pool with Roman steps and a traditional stone barbecue.

Just a quick note to say how fantastic our stay was at your Villa.The villa spec was sublime and most importantly the children felt at home immediately and did not want to leave. You have created a unique villa in a fantastic unspoilt location and as such I feel our rule of never going to the same place twice will be broken when we visit again in the future with our Parents. Thank you again and please feel free to add our comments to your site.
Regards........until the next booking

I just wanted to let you know that we thought your villa was great – beautiful location and very well equipped – the most comfortable beds we have had in a villa yet! We had a wonderful two weeks. The outside space is fantastic and we couldn’t get the kids out of the pool!
Everything is so well labelled and organised we were very impressed. The garden and pool people are great – very friendly and do a very thorough job. The garden is lovely, it was really coming into its own when we were there.
You have a fantastic villa we are very envious and wish you every success with renting the villa in the future.
Best wishes

We spent a week in early March, the "Casa de Almendras". It was wonderful. We enjoyed the tasteful and comfortable furnishings, spacious house (we were 10 people!), The great location and beautiful view! There was nothing missing, even great tips for trips were available. We will come back here!

October 2009
Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous!! We couldn't have asked for a better villa to spend our 2 weeks in Majorca in. You have literally thought of everything. The location is beautiful and we have had a wonderful time. Thank you very much, and we look forward (very much!) to returning soon. PS: Definitely worthy of a strong recommendation to our family and friends!!

I just wanted to let you know that we had a fantastic holiday at your villa. We all thought the villa was gorgeous - comfortable and really well equipped. As for the pool and outside terraces, what can we say....magical!
We enjoyed doing very little for 2 weeks-we had plans to tour around the island but in the end, the attraction of the villa and the pool was too great and we just stayed there for most of the time. The 360 degree views from the villa are really fabulous - sitting out at night on the balconies looking up at the stars was really special. All in all, a great holiday with many happy memories for us all. So thank you - we will certainly recommend it to other people and would be happy to provide positive feedback for you to use on your website.

Jeff, Nick and family had a fantastic holiday. The Villa was absolutely fantastic – it was very homely and the children felt like they weren't missing out on anything and even got to watch the semi finals of Britain’s Got Talent!!
