Looking onto a lily pond and over lawns to the hills, this is a rather grand house, its terrace colonnaded, its rooms elegant and airy. A rural idyll with easy access to the island’s capital.
Plump sofas in pastel yellow join equally plump armchairs in the sitting room and a chaise longue adds elegant comfort to the first floor landing. The formal dining room is complemented by a smaller breakfast room which opens onto a little patio cloaked and shaded with climbers. French doors from the sitting room lead to a furnished terrace majestic with arches and columns. The gardens of Ses Planetes are manicured, with lawns and a vine covered pergola leading to a lovely swimming pool, where there is a covered terrace with a small bar and fridge. The setting for this enchanting house is a rural area near to the old town of Alaro, where similar neighbouring properties are interspersed with orchards. Those with the energy may enjoy the steep scramble to the Castillio Alaro – about 6 kms drive to a hillside restaurant, followed by a half hour climb on foot, rewarded by fantastic views to neighbouring islands. Unforgettable!
