Casa Bellver is just a stone's throw away from the energetic region of Genova, one of Palma's most popular tourist destinations. If you are looking to discover a truly nuanced underworld during your time on holiday, a trip to the Caves of Drach is a must-do activity. These structures stretch an astounding 1200 metres long and a further 25 metres deep, offering guests a plethora of hidden gems to discover. The most pivotal aspect of these caves is the underground lake that is teeming with sapphire blue water. Guests are free to explore this lake from a more intimate perspective by embarking on a short guided boat trip. During this excursion, guests will learn more about the history of these caves and how they manage to exemplify the region's far-reaching legacy. The Caves of Drach can be found just over an hour away from the villa.
Le Seu is one of the most prominent cathedrals in the entirety of Mallorca and is situated around 20 minutes away from Casa Bellver. This monument was first crafted in the 14th century and hosted 61 stained-glass windows, giving it the apt nickname of the Cathedral of Light. It is built in a very traditional style, using a plethora of pristine sandstone to make it one of the tallest Gothic structures in Europe. Guests are encouraged to explore the interior of this cathedral, focusing on its wide variety of fixtures as well as the tremendous central rose window, which helps to attract a selection of vibrant lights.
Alongside its range of iconic landmarks and immense landscapes, Genova is also well-recognised for its transformative and authentic food scene. The most popular type of meat in this region is lamb, with the locals using it in an abundance of high-end dishes such as a hearty casserole that is prepared with premium sherry and freshly prepared vegetables. A vast majority of these dishes are served in bars and restaurants throughout the centre of the region. Thus, guests are encouraged to enjoy a truly traditional dish as they soak up the energetic culture of the native citizens.
