Sa Sinia - Farmhouse with pool and views in S'Horta, Mallorca

INTRODUCTION
The villa “Sa Sinia” is an exclusive countryside residence that is set in a truly beautiful natural location. Views from the terraces stretch down to the nearby coast and are further complimented by the views to the hilltop Castell d’es Santueri. In “Sa Sinia”, guests can enjoy the tranquility of this place being only some km far from shops, restaurants and the outstanding beaches from the East coast of Mallorca. This finca is ideal for families, walkers, cyclists, bird watching and nature lovers.

LOCATION
Set in a protected area of outstanding natural beauty, Sa Sinia nestles into a hillside amidst countryside with magnificent far-reaching views across almond and olive groves and towards distant sea. The property was purchased by our family about 80 years ago, and it takes the name of an ancient building used to extract water from a well by an animal-powered workforce in circular motion. This building was placed in the finca more than 150 years ago and has since allowed for water transport through an aqueduct which is nowadays partially conserved.
This setting is perfect for those seeking a quiet location affording complete privacy.
In the surroundings of the house you can find a beautiful coastal resort named Portocolom (7 km). It is a very picturesque place thanks to its small old town and harbour, keeping the essence of the traditional Mallorca. Cala D'Or (8 km) has a lively slice of urban life to offer with a variety of pubs, restaurants, a yacht harbour and several small beaches. Other beautiful bays for swimming are equally easy to get to from the villa. There are golf course named Vall D'Or Golf about 2 km away from the villa, which also has a nice restaurant.

The highlights of the property are its terraces and garden. There is an 11 meters-length swimming pool featured with an arched stone wall that allows the formation of a beautiful waterfall. One can relax and sunbathe on the loungers and have a refreshing dip in the pool, surrounded by a mountain landscape and the only sound of birds singing.

TOURIST TAX
Since 1 July 2016, the Balearic Islands have imposed a so-called 'Ecotasa' (tourist tax), which must be paid by all tourists who visit the Islands. The cost of this tax for villas is € 2.00 from 01. May until 31. October, and € 0.50 from 01. November until 30. April (plus 10% VAT (IVA) in each case). From the 9th day of your holiday, the tax rate is reduced by half. The tourist tax must be paid by anyone over the age of 16 (inclusive). The tax must be paid during your stay (ideally upon arrival) in cash to the owner of the villa. Please note that the villa owner is required, as part of their acceptance of the 'Ecotasa', to take your personal details (this may include taking a copy of your passport).
