Nestled in the 11th century village of Fornalutx, one of Spain's most beautifully preserved destinations, our home offers the perfect blend of history and modern comfort. Situated on a quiet cobblestone street, the home is open and spacious with lush rambling gardens, a stunning pool and bocce ball court. Sitting by the pool, serenaded by the gentle creek, soft birdsong, and breathtaking views, it’s easy to forget that the home is just a 3-minute walk from the vibrant village plaza. Once you enter the gate, you are welcomed by cascading bougainvilleas, climbing roses, lavender, orange trees, and rosemary, and the soothing flow of the creek nearby.

INTERIOR:
Originally a historic olive mill converted by our grandparents in the 1950s, the home has been transformed into a spacious, authentic oasis. Its rambling garden, filled with roses, orange trees, and bougainvillea, provides a tranquil escape, while large glass doors open to the pool and breathtaking views of the lush Sóller valley and the majestic Tramuntana mountains. Whether enjoying your morning coffee, reading a book, or savoring a late-night cocktail on the patio, the setting is pure paradise.

The home features 2 bedrooms, each designed for relaxation and comfort:

Upstairs, a king bedroom with a private patio and outdoor shower overlooks the pool and valley. Adjacent is a large bathroom with shower a double vanity and separate toilet.

On the main floor is an ensuite king bedroom with private patio overlooking the inner courtyard surrounded by flowers and orange trees and the creek below. The bathroom features a shower and a double vanity.

With 3.5 newly updated bathrooms, a remodeled kitchen, and spacious living and dining areas, the home effortlessly blends modern amenities with its historic charm. The dining room flows into the living room, where double doors open to outdoor eating areas, the pool, and a vast garden. The living room, with its soaring ceilings, provides ample space for large groups, while both the living and dining areas are air-conditioned for comfort.

The Spanish-tiled kitchen, featuring a large dining table, overlooks a beautiful inner courtyard with a second long outdoor dining table surrounded by magnolia and orange trees. Fully equipped with a dishwasher, microwave, gas stove, oven, and refrigerator, it’s perfect for preparing meals to enjoy al fresco.

The expansive garden, filled with flowers, fig, orange, and lemon trees, leads to a bocce court, ideal for friendly competition.
Guest access


GARDEN
The pool is flanked by climbing roses, bougainvilleas, hibiscus plants and the orange grove. Sitting by the pool is one of the world’s greatest treats, with the gentle flow of the creek; the distant sound of the goats’ bells as they climb the hills; the lingering scent of jasmine and orange blossoms; and the spectacular view. Just beyond the pool and orange grove is the petanc court (bocce ball). We’ve had some great tournaments there!

ACCESS:
Unlike many newer homes in Fornalutx, ours is uniquely accessible. Located on a quiet, walkable street, you can safely stroll to the plaza and drive directly to the house—no navigating long staircases, pedestrian-only lanes, or parking far away. We’re not perched on the outskirts, up in the hills, or along the main road with fast-moving traffic and no sidewalks. Enjoy the rare convenience of unloading luggage, beach gear, or groceries right at the door—without sacrificing the charm of being truly in town.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:
There is parking for three cars (two with in the gates and one outside the gate). Please note that the streets in Mallorca are very narrow and we advise renting a compact or small car. While we usually rent smaller SUVs.


VILLAGE
The home is very private, despite being just a 3 minute walk to the village plaza. As you walk along the cobblestone streets, you pass the carefully tended stone homes, all of which contribute to the beauty of the village. The plaza is the center of this ancient Moorish town with a quaint, fully equipped convenient store, a bank, post office, natural and traditional pharmacy, bakery, and several wonderful restaurants and cafes, and a magnificent church. The cafes at the plaza are open from the early morning until 12 at night. There is also great hiking trails just steps from the house.


If you need flexibility with your rental, please message us and we will try to accommodate you.

    After numerous delays we arrived after midnight. Not easy to find in very dark village. The house is authentic and tastefully decorated. It is a genuine family home and we loved the personal touches. It was spacious and comfortable. It was possible to find places to sit inside and out if you wanted to be away from the main group. Lovely gardens with lots of steps. I would suggest it isn’t suitable for anyone with balance or walking issues. Although the adults loved it I am not convinced it is really safe for small children like ours (under 6) The pool would be great in the summer but was cold by end of October and is deep for children. Having said this, our children had a very good time and loved the house and the village. We had a high ratio of adults to children so were able to supervise constantly. I am being honest - if you have small children think carefully before booking. Adults and older children will love it!

    The charms of this house cannot be over-stated. Too bad that the owners don't provide more pictures because it is a very photogenic property. And the view is killer. Two of the larger bedrooms are very comfortable, but the large bedroom on the lower outside level does not get as cool as the others do. There are two smaller bedroom that might be good for kids, but not for adults. The shared areas are beautifully appointed and the house is spotlessly clean.

    We came with another family to stay here. In total there was 4 adults and 3 kids. The property is large and there was plenty of room for us all. Last year we stayed in Port de Sóller. Fornalutx was a much more relaxed place. The location of the property is within minutes of some great restaurants. We had a fantastic week and hope to return again in the future.

    We had the most amazing stay at this property. From the property itself, to the location and proximity to town but balanced by privacy, it was everything we could have asked for and more! The entire time my kids kept asking “can we stay here forever!?!” and we wish we could have said yes! Out of the 3 locations we visited in Mallorca, this was hands down our favorite!

    From the first to the last minute of our stay we were delighted with this fantastic house and property. The furnishings are very high quality and lovely. We were there as a family and everyone had plenty of space to enjoy peace and quiet or have fun all together. We were very excited and it was even more beautiful on site than in the pictures. The location is also great. Fornalutx is magical. Thank you Alicia and Lucia for this beautiful vacation!!! Also for good communication. We would love to come back again. Jacqueline

    A mix of friends joined me at various stages at this house in Fornaltux and we all agreed that the pool was the highlight. The peace and quiet sitting out there during the day and in the evening was amazing, one would hardly know you were just a few minutes walk from a busy village square. The house is old and atmospheric, a converted mill, but some areas need work! there was a great deal of damp in the lower studio room, a fair bit of woodworm in ceiling beams that showered down here and there onto beds and floors, the upper bathroom had a few issues and could do with an update. Unfortunately, the local lady who manages the house had family troubles during our stay and was rarely available to help with a few problems we had. Perhaps someone in reserve would be a good idea? Despite this, we had a lovely 12 days, the village is wonderful, great bakeries, bars and little shops and the main store had everything you could need, including excellent fresh meat. The street down to the house is really narrow and only suitable for small cars - perhaps this should be included in the spec for the house. The car hire 'upgraded me' (always a mistake!) and I had to swap back to something smaller on day 2 before I had a nervous breakdown. On the whole a nice stay though

    Our family gathered to celebrate our 50 Wedding Anniversary. The house was lovely and the setting breath-taking! The village of Fornalutz is the prettiest in Spain…and so convenient. We walked everywhere! The host was very attentive to our every need.

    The owners are lovely and so accommodating, the property is amazing located practically in the forest with only the sounds of the river and the birds all day long. The location is perfect as it is in the village yet peaceful all the time. Local restaurants are amazing as are all the local people. So much to do and see within a few miles, we will be back!

    S’aubareta is the most beautiful house situated in its own extensive grounds just a stones throw away from the amazing village of Fornalutx. It really is a magical old Majorcan property with so much character and a large swimming pool with views to die for! It was immaculate when we arrived and had all the equipment you could need for the perfect holiday We went for a family celebration and we’re a mix of ages and generations from a young toddler to 25-30 year olds and my husband and I both in our 60s I cannot recommend this magical house enough!! We loved every minute of it Thankyou Alicia, Lucia and Marga for everything We will be back in the future I’m sure of it
