 Freelance Holidays - holiday homes
Away from the island's bustling capital Palma and the frenetic atmosphere of its nearby 'high rise' resorts, a startling change of pace and scenery takes over. Fertile fields dotted with windmills turning lazily in the breeze, give way to rolling countryside covered in olive and almond groves punctuated by vineyards and small, sun-bleached villages. Mediaeval monasteries and castles perch 'quixotically' atop pine clad mountains and look out over the azure sea that encircles the island's 400 km of beautiful coastline, most of which is surprisingly untouched by signs of mass tourism and remains virtually unknown to all but a few of Mallorca's many visitors.
Villas with pools, apartment with shared pool, village houses, harbourside apartments, hideaway cottages.
