Upon arrival your eye will instantly be drawn to the terraces and patios around the private swimming pool. Here, the hospitable local owners have arrayed a blaze of cactus, palms, mature shrubs, pot plants and colourful bougainvillaea. Spending time in the sunshine in this pretty environment enjoying the pool, the two sun terraces and, of course, the fruits of the adjacent barbecue is pure pleasure.
Inside, modern fixtures and fittings combine effortlessly with the feel and atmosphere of traditional Mallorca. Decorated and looked after with great care, the interior is roomy and instantly welcoming with comfortable solid wooden furniture, quality prints and items of local memorabilia adding character.
The lovely beaches of Cala Sant Vicenç (6km) and Port de Pollença are each a 10-15 minute drive or leave the car at home and take a leisurely stroll into the celebrated market town itself where all amenities are found.
Enjoy the wide selection of shops and boutiques, climb the 365 steps of 'calvario' for a magnificent view across the rooftops, eat in a wonderful variety of locally recommended restaurants (the nearest only a 300m walk away) or simply join in that popular Pollença pastime of taking an aperitif on the spacious café terraces in the church square while idly watching the world pass by.
Ca'n Mateu is also the perfect location for music lovers wishing to experience the annual summer festival of recitals, concerts and artistic performances, (many by internationally famous artists) as the centre of events at the imposing Santo Domingo cloisters is within a 15 minute walk.
