Calvia is a delightful and peaceful village nestling in open countryside towards the mountains of Mallorca just five minutes drive away up from Palma Nova. It has quaint old stone houses, narrow streets, a few small shops and a handful of very nice cafes and restaurants. The village now has the highest property values on the island and there are few available for holiday rental.

One, however, that is available albeit only for the months of July and August is this luxury, designer-furnished 110-year-old 3-bedroomed "finca", on the outskirts of the village, but within walking distance. The property is fully air-conditioned, is extremely well-appointed and has its own private 9 x 5 metre swimming pool.
