Standing within the lovingly tendered grounds of Les Tires, mature palms, pines and large, gnarled olive trees offer shady areas scattered around a spacious, child-friendly lawn, Terracotta pots brimming with attractive plants adorn the terrace adding splashes of colour, whilst a paved path leads the way to a good sized pool (7m x 12m) providing front seat views of the Albufeira, Bay of Pollença and dramatic back drop of the Tramontana Mountains.

Les Tires is traditionally furnished with the large country kitchen and open-plan living/dining area at the heart of the home. A long dining table ensures plenty of room for 10 at meal times and extra seating in the kitchen means sociable cooks needn’t miss out on the pre-dinner drinks and conversation whilst rustling up a feast. Patio doors lead out from both the kitchen and dining area, to a covered terrace with yet more seating for lazy lunches and finishing that dogeared novel, poolside.
For those with walking difficulties there is also an air conditioned double bedroom on this floor, as well as a separate shower room.

Upstairs a further 4 bedrooms, each with air conditioning, some with pool view, are complimented by a separate shower room with shower cubicle and bathroom with bath tub and overhead shower. Every window relinquishes a different view across the vast scenic landscape giving a sense of tranquility and relaxation.

Nonetheless, another big plus is the proximity to the old quarters of Alcudia (3.5km), complete with stone ramparts of the ancient walled village, encompassing a labyrinth of cobbled streets crammed with a good selection of tapas bars, restaurants (everything from pizzerias to Michelin star), handicraft stalls, boutiques and a hypnotic local vibe both during the day and even more so in the summer evenings. Twice a week the buzz of market day provides an entertaining morning, shopping for fresh fruit and veg, the sweet aroma of waffles in the air and rummaging through overladen souvenir stalls where you're sure to find the ideal gift for the person back home feeding the cat and watering the plants!

The sprawling beaches of Alcudia and Playa de Muro are just 10 minutes by car - the sandy coves of Cala San Vicente a little further. A gentle stroll along Pollenca’s famous Pine Walk or Alcudia’s yachting marina will provide many photo moments and lasting memories are made, as you put your feet up (or let your hair down!)

Air Conditioning usage is on a timer, 12 hours per day.

Great Things to Do Near Les Tires

Caves of Campanet

The beautiful Caves of Campanet, found by a shepherd about 100 years ago, are not too far away and worth a visit to see the fascinating stalagmite and stalactite formations. These caves are not too commercialised and visits are on the hour. For the most impressive caves, go to Portocristo on the east coast and visit the Caves of Drach which houses one of the largest underground lakes in Europe.

Museum Alcudia

Visit the Sa Bassa Blanca museum of modern and contemporary art of which the Hollywood actor Michael Douglas is a patron

Snorkelling at Mal Pas

If you would like to do some snorkelling in clear, deep water, go towards Alcúdia, turn off towards the La Victoria headland until you reach Mal Pas. Beside a fish restaurant serving lobster (choose your own), there is an excellent area off the rocks for snorkelling.

Go to the market

Pollença market on Sunday morning is a colourful bustling event where you can buy your locally grown fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as a few souvenirs and presents. Have a look inside the church which is very impressive.

Play a round of golf!

Mallorca has a great variety of golf courses and the closest to Puerto Pollença is the 9-hole course at Pollença. Alcanada has an 18-hole course with beautiful views overlooking the Bay of Alcúdia.

Puig de Maria

The start of the walk uphill to Puig de Maria (puig=hillock) is just before the rooster roundabout on the right of the main road towards Port de Pollença. It's best to go first thing in the morning, wearing sensible shoes and don't forget your camera. Take a bottle of water with you although there is a bar at the top.

The old ruined castle at Alaró

Make your way to the top of Castell d'Alaró - take water to drink as the last part of the journey has to be done on foot. The views from the top are breathtakingly beautiful! On the way down enjoy a meal at the Restaurant Es Verger where they serve tasty roast lamb done in a traditional Mallorcan oven.

Explore the old town of Pollença

Stroll around the old town of Pollença. It's definitely worth making the effort to climb the 365 steps up to the Calvary church and browsing in the curious little shops before sitting down to relax with a drink and dinner in one of the many popular restaurants in the pedestrianised squares.

Old Roman town of Alcúdia

Tuesday market in Old Alcúdia is interesting and has a plentiful supply of locally grown fresh fruit and vegetables, then just stroll round the pedestrianised old Roman town where caper plants are growing out of the main massive thick stone walls surrounding the town. The local council offer a free guided tour around the historical centre of Alcúdia old town on Wednesdays and Fridays during the summer months.

Formentor beach and lighthouse

A scenic drive will take you to Formentor Lighthouse - the road is quite narrow in places. At the top of the hill out of Port de Pollença, it is worth stopping at the viewpoint to see El Colomer rock. Although the beach at Formentor is not very large, it has clear shallow water ideal for children and adults alike, with some good waters for snorkelling. Go early, with a picnic.

Palma de Mallorca, an interesting capital city

There are many interesting historical buildings to visit in Palma, including the Cathedral, Almudaina Palace and Bellver Castle, as well as museums and art galleries. Palma is also an excellent shopping centre.

Visit another island - Menorca!

Menorca is just 25 miles away, it is a great island to explore with lots of undeveloped coves. Mahón, the capital, and Cuitadella have beautiful architecture and excellent waterfront restaurants. Daily ferry from Cala Ratjada to Cuitadella.
