Dating from the 13th century, Mortitx is a grand example of a huge original farmhouse, quietly tucked away in rugged mountainous terrain midway between Pollensa and the Monastery of Lluc. The entire property emanates both personality and originality, boasting numerous curiosities that have withstood centuries of extensions, alterations and new designs only adding to its abundant charm. The gardens of Mortitx are full of surprises, a discreet pool with sauna and changing room, pretty pergolas, fountain, fruit trees and flowerbeds, romantic and lush, a plentiful water supply coming from nearby reservoirs. Flagstones, massive wooden features, cobbled floors and whitewashed walls mix and mingle in this wonderfully rambling home, one characterful room leads to another, leaving one hard pushed to choose a favourite place. The main doors of the house open to a fabulously rural reception hall, leading to two studies, main stairs and interior patio. To the right are the original inglenook hearth, possibly the favourite winter meeting place for family and friends, and the charming kitchen with a delightful garden for summer breakfasts.
