海と山の景色を望むヴィラと共用プール。

I'm British and have spent my holidays in Spain for the last 20 years. I met my husband there and we have a daughter.
We try to go to Mallorca as much as possible, often in the spring and autumn.

I lived and taught in Mallorca for a year and absolutely love the island. I still have good friends here and it was they who introduced us to the charms of Betlem and Colonia San Pere, far from the crowded resorts.
We love coming here. As you get closer to Betlem the rural scenery is more and more beautiful - olive, almond and fig trees abound - and then I see the mountains rising up against the blue sky and I know we'll see the sea in a few more minutes. Our daughter can't wait to get into the pool or play in the waves at Colonia San Pere even in November and March! When I wake up the first morning and see the mountains and sea, I know I've got away from it all.

The house is a joy to be in. We love having a good coffee and fresh orange juice for breakfast out on the terrace. If we want a day at home we can go for gentle strolls along the coast or more energetic hikes into the hills or just lie by the pool with a good book. A stroll down for lunch or an ice-cream on the terrace at a local restaurant is a treat for our daughter and game of tennis in the late afternoon with dinner and a beer on the terrace is a nice way to finish the day.
We love exploring too and go on various day trips to local beaches, our favourite being Playa de Muro. Artá is always a pleasure to amble around and have a meal there. There are lots of things to do and see all within an easy day trip including Palma.
