Historic stonework and contemporary craft converge in this restored townhouse in Sóller

To live in the historic town centre of Soller, tucked between Mallorca’s Tramuntana mountain range and the pretty northwest coast, is a rare opportunity. To do so in a quintessential 1890s townhouse, modernised with a designer’s eye, is beyond. Casa Calma brings all the elements of Mallorcan architectural heritage together in one space: original patterned floors, antique stone, 3.6-metre ceilings, a mature garden, all beautifully maintained. A 2021-22 restoration brought in contemporary amenities and crisp, new upholsteries to live within those old bones.

The approximately 550sqm plan unfolds across multiple levels, moving from a formal entrance into a library with an art deco fireplace and hydraulic tiles. Iron doors open onto a Mediterranean courtyard planted with jasmine, lemon and bougainvillea, arranged around granite paving. An oak-and-stone kitchen fitted with Smeg appliances connects directly to the garden, while the main salon above opens to a terrace with views toward the mountains.

Six bedrooms are arranged across the upper floors, each with an en-suite bathroom freshly updated with Moroccan tiles and brass fittings. Microcement floors and high ceilings maintain consistency throughout, while a roof terrace looks across the town. Handmade double-glazed windows, air conditioning and insulation support year-round use.

The property, close to Sant Bartomeu Church and Sóller’s historic square, holds a Turismo de Interior license, so the building can operate as a boutique hotel or revert to private use. Contact Berrow Projects for more information.
