From the moment we entered and were greeted by a vista of sparkling azure sea, seemingly infinite as it stretched out ahead of us to meet the horizon beyond the green grasses and dunes of Son Bou’s pretty, natural shoreline, we were in no doubt that this smart coastal home would soon become a firm favourite with guests.
With a stylish décor of muted tones and clean lines that perfectly complements its enticing maritime backdrop, this is a home that exudes comfort, calm and a happy appreciation of its privileged seaside setting. Facing south to the ocean, the light-filled living area forms the hub of the home and connects seamlessly to the outdoor terraces and poolside through wide patio doors on its sea-facing façade. Out here, a covered patio provides the ideal setting for al fresco meals and relaxing gatherings whilst just below, the pool and its surrounding sun terrace are equally well placed to take advantage of the ever-changing seascape that spreads out ahead.
Situated off a pleasant residential lane at the western end of Torre Soli, Villa Olga enjoys easy access to shops, restaurants and beaches. Just 130m along the road from the house is a convenient local supermarket whilst the nearest restaurant is 650m away. For days on the beach, you can either follow a rustic footpath through the countryside beyond the western edge Torre Soli to discover the delightfully unspoilt natural beach of Atalis (some 30 minutes on foot from the house) or follow the road through the residential area to enjoy the bustling ambience of Son Bou. The shops, bars, and restaurants of this family friendly resort are 1.4km away whilst just beyond it are the sweeping golden sands of the island’s longest beach.
- There are 9 steps from street level up to the house.
