Enjoy privacy & stunning mountain views at C'an Barracuda. Set within it's own beautiful gardens, with PRIVATE POOL & HOT TUB, this contemporary & stylish villa is perfect for families wanting to “get away from it all”, yet is walking distance of the old town and a short drive from beaches at Puerto Pollenca and Cala St Vicenc.
A unique feature of Villa Barracuda is the “aquarium style” swimming pool in the centre of the house - tiled in an artistic, bespoke “Miro” style, with views into the pool from large windows in four rooms.
The accommodation is on the ground floor and an extensive sun deck with American style outdoor kitchen surrounds the swimming pool upstairs. Soak up the sunshine on the private pool deck sipping ice cold beers on comfy sofas, relaxing on sun loungers, sinking into huge bean bags, taking a dip in the pool or bubbling in the jacuzzi.
There is a roof around the perimeter of the pool deck which provides welcome shade in the heat of the day, and a more cozy atmosphere after dark. Sofas are placed near an outdoor fireplace which is the perfect area to relax in the evening with a glass of delicious local wine, to watch the crackling flames and star gaze.
There is an outdoor shower and a separate shower room/WC off the entrance terrace so guests do not have to tread wet feet into the house when nature calls.
We sourced most of our outdoor kitchen from America. It offers a wood-fired pizza oven, large gas BBQ, gas hob, fridge and sink with hot water. The kitchen is stocked with plenty of crockery, cutlery and utensils.
Villa Barracuda is located at the foot of the Tramontana mountains in north Mallorca, within walking distance of Pollenca old town (approx 2km) and a 6km drive to the Port of Pollenca.
We renovated the property in 2016, drawing inspiration from international artists we admire. Features include air conditioning, fast speed FTTP broadband, TVs, Netflix, Sonus music system and video entry system.
The house provides very spacious accommodation, with a layout ideally suited to couples or two families. There are four large bedrooms with queen size beds (two beds can be split into single beds upon request). Each bedroom has an en-suite shower-room (one with bath), fitted wardrobes, TV and access to private sun terrace.
The large, cool, living room has views over the lovely gardens and patio doors open to a covered terrace which catches the evening sun. This room is a nice area to relax with comfy leather sofas, a large TV and a dining area with a beautiful glass table that seats eight.
The fitted kitchen features a central island finished in local, natural stone, with the cooking area at one end, and bar stools at the opposite end for casual eating or company for the chef! Appliances include two built-in Neff fan ovens (one is a combination microwave/oven), induction hob, American style fridge/freezer with chilled, filtered water, dishwasher, wine fridge, Nespresso coffee machine and an abundance of cupboards and drawers with almost every utensil and appliance a cook could desire.
From the kitchen, French doors open into a pretty, pebbled terrace set around the original well, which is now topped with a circle of natural stone and surrounded by bar stools. This area captures the morning sun and is the perfect place to enjoy breakfast or cosy evening dining.
A glass door from the kitchen leads into the striking entrance terrace with steps to the huge, wooden front door and further steps leading up the pool area.
In addition to the living room, there are two informal lounge areas with sofas.
Stunning, Mediterranean GARDENS surround the house and amount to approximately one third of an acre; screened on all sides by stone walls, fencing and established trees, palms & bushes, providing a high degree of privacy and seclusion. The majority of the garden is lawn, interspersed with mature, specimen palms and trees.
The villa is accessed via an electric gate opening into the large driveway affording parking for a number of cars. Guests are given a code to open the gate.
A discreet terrace serves as a laundry area with washing machine and clothes lines for guest use. Guests also have use of a vacuum cleaner, iron & ironing board, broom, dustpan & brush and other cleaning products & utensils for their own convenience and hygiene.
Bath and pool towels are changed mid-week, and bedding is changed at the end of each week. Should guests require cleaning every day, and/or additional towels / bedding, this can be arranged at an additional cost.
