Pollença suits families and groups who want a villa with a garden and pool near an old stone town, with Palma airport about 40 minutes away. The nearest beach town is Port de Pollença, around 6 km east.
Pollença is an inland town of about 17,800 people in northern Mallorca. A 365-step stairway climbs from just north of the main square to a chapel on Calvary hill, where the Good Friday parade takes place, and the Puig de Pollença forms the backdrop. The so-called Roman bridge, in its present form a 19th-century structure, crosses the torrent of Sant Jordi and can be reached from Calvary hill. The sea is elsewhere: Port de Pollença sits on the bay about 6 km east, with a beach that slopes gently into the water and a wide promenade for walking and cycling. Our homes lie scattered around the town and the surrounding countryside. Most have a private pool and a garden, many sleep six or more, and a fair number have a fireplace.

Palma de Mallorca airport is about 40 minutes by road, roughly 35 miles. The airport bus needs a change and takes well over an hour, so a hire car makes more sense for a villa outside the town.
Palma's summers are hot, bright and dry, with August sea temperatures averaging around 26 °C, while winters are mild and wetter, and October and November bring the heaviest rain. On 2 August the town re-enacts the 1550 battle with the corsair Dragut in its Moors and Christians festivities. The International Classical Music Festival is also listed in the event calendar.
