Located within the very heart of the honey-stoned Pollensa Old Town, Casa Sion is a wonderful, contemporary, four-bedroom townhouse. It boasts a magical blend of modern comforts and characterful Mallorcan charms. Throughout, you will discover gorgeous beams, some wooden and some with a slightly industrial feel, together with warm, welcoming exposed stonework. The living space is an open plan by design with huge glass and floor-to-ceiling doors that bring the outside in and brighten this airy space. Each of the bedrooms enjoys its own ensuite bathroom, and the top floor master also offers a spacious private balcony. The ground floor terrace is beautifully designed with a pool, loungers, alfresco dining and a gas barbecue.
Casa Sion is built over three levels with the living space on the ground floor, three bedroom suites on the first floor and the heavenly master on the top floor. If you are a group of friends travelling together, you may have to draw straws for the master! In addition, there is a sofa bed in the living room for an additional guest or two.
The living space boasts an excellent, sociable, glossy white kitchen with a breakfast bar and stools. Guests can open a lovely bottle of chilled white wine and keep the chef in your group company while they prepare a feast. The living area offers trendy sofas, cool accent chairs, a contemporary log burner and a giant television. Guests can dine indoors at the contemporary table and chairs or alfresco on the terrace. The living space is characterful, with gorgeous ceiling beams and some exposed stonework.
Doors open to the smart, elegant terrace with its small pool, quality loungers, parasols for shade, alfresco dining and barbecue. It is a great space where you can relax with your holiday books, take a dip and enjoy each other’s company.
A modern staircase leads upstairs to three-bedroom suites. Two are twins, and the third is a spacious double. Like the living space, they enjoy a minimalist feel, modern furnishings and sleek, immaculate shower rooms. The top floor master is wonderful with lots of exposed stonework, ceiling beams, a sumptuous king-size bed, a generous ensuite bathroom with a bath and shower and access to a fabulous terrace with sun loungers.

Casa Sion enjoys a prestigious position in the heart of the Old Town of Pollensa. It is also within easy reach of Puerto Pollensa, Alcudia, delightful rural countryside where you can visit some excellent wineries and the island’s majestic mountains and famous caves.
Pollensa is a very attractive ancient walled town with stunning architecture, modern art galleries, fabulous boutiques, chic, gastronomic restaurants and a lively market. The main square Placa Major is the place to head to for excellent restaurants, coffee and people-watching. The bustling, popular Sunday market boasts delicious food stands as well as souvenirs and leather goods. The 365 Calvari Steps lead from the Placa Major to the top of the town, where you can enjoy the astonishing views and visit the pretty, intimate Church of Nostra Senyora dels Angels. Light spills through the stained glass windows to illuminate the gorgeous interior. Just off the Placa Major are Museo Dionis Bennassar, an unexpected treasure and the home of a famous local artist. His paintings are displayed around the peaceful and inspirational home. Puerto Pollensa offers a fantastic marina and a beach blessed with dazzling white sand and shallow, warm water.
The ancient monastery Puig de Pollensa sits on top of a mountain close to Pollensa town and also offers outstanding views of Pollensa Bay, the Cap de Formentor and the majestic Tramuntana mountains. You can walk up to the Puig in approximately forty minutes and enjoy some refreshments at the cafe at the top or make use of the picnic tables.
Visitors enjoy taking the trip to Formentor, which is absolutely spectacular and worth the bumpy, winding drive. The much photographed Formentor Lighthouse sits perched on the edge of the peninsular. You will experience breathtaking sea views on the way to Formentor.
Port d’Alcudia boasts a seven-mile-long Blue Flag beach. Alcudia’s picturesque marina is the waterside setting for many trendy bars and restaurants. It is a bustling hub of activity with dolphin-watching tours and glass-bottomed boats frequently taking visitors out on the crystal clear water. Alcudia Old Town is wonderfully atmospheric for an evening out. It is very romantic with narrow cobbled streets, Romeo and Juliet balconies, authentic cafes, unique boutiques, fabulous fine dining and traditional restaurants, vibrant tapas bars and a superb open-air market. Alcudia’s Roman ruins and museum sit just outside the walls and are very interesting. Alcudia Old Town hosts many cultural events, including traditional fiestas and classical music festivals. Visitors can walk around the entire perimeter of the town’s medieval walls, either on the inside on the Cami de Ronde route or on the outside, using what has now become a delightful garden walk. From the top of the walls, you can enjoy wonderful panoramic views of the Bay of Pollensa. Alcudia Old Town boasts an incredible history. The Romans brought an end to piracy and built the town though Alcudia was then destroyed in the 6th century. The town returned to greatness under the Moors. The walls you see today were added in the early 14th century under the rule of King Jaume II. Visitors enjoy the fabulous Neo-Gothic Sant Jaume Church and the fantastic Sa Bassa Blanca Museum, which is home to amazing contemporary art and stunning gardens.
There are a number of vineyards close by where you can taste some delicious wines. These include the excellent Bodegas Can Vidalet at Pollensa, Bodega Butxet and the Mortitx winery, hidden off a winding road between Pollensa and Lluc. It is worth navigating the hairpin bends of the Tramuntana mountain range to find it. The Serra de Tramuntana was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2011 in an attempt to protect the unique landscape, customs and heritage. The mountains skirt the length of Mallorca’s northern coast. Whether you choose to drive, hike or cycle, there are countless incredible sights to see, from the Moorish terraced hillsides dropping to the sea in Banyalbufar to the stunning clifftop viewing points such as the Mirador de Ricardo Roca and Mirador De Ses Barques, where you can see the lovely resort of Soller in the distance. The blissfully quiet village of Galilea is Mallorca’s highest village. La Torre de Verger is an ancient watchtower perched on the edge of a cliff near Banyalbufar on the west coast. It is a popular spot to watch the breathtaking sunsets. La Reserva Puig Galatzo is a fabulous nature reserve deep in the forest at the western end of the Tramuntana. You can hike the pathways and enjoy the wildlife, pools and waterfalls. The adventure park has Mallorca’s longest zip-wire as well as rock climbing and Tibetan-style suspension bridges. A trip to the mountain range would not be complete without visiting the beautiful Deia. The village is one of the prettiest in Mallorca, and it has become a bit of a playground for the rich.
