The beauty of living in Deià, the mountain village overlooking Mallorca’s northwest coast, is the feeling of utter seclusion with all the benefits of a close-knit artistic community. Sa Parreta encapsulates that balance. Built in the 1800s at the heart of the village, it nestles in a lush, cosy garden with a south-facing aspect and has been maintained and updated to turnkey standard.

New interiors, evocative of the home’s time and place, sit comfortably with the original terracotta-tiled floors. With its freshly limewashed walls, the living room flows easily into the new rustic kitchen, refitted with Binissalem stone countertops and reclaimed wood. The grapevine-covered dining terrace is just beyond, followed by a patio with an outdoor shower.

Upstairs are three bright, air conditioned bedrooms, including a primary suite with a bathroom and Juliet balcony. A second bathroom serves the two smaller bedrooms. The location is handy for Deià’s cafés and galleries, as well as the coastal path and beach.

At 178 sqm in all the property is on the market for €1.1 million with Charles Marlow.
