Cas Padrí Pons, a townhouse rental in Mallorca

Created for the Slow Life in Santanyí

A gentle restoration has preserved the authentic soul of this Mallorcan home. The design contrasts original features—smooth-worn stone stairs, wood beams, and characterful windows—with confident modern additions. It’s an ideal base for experiencing authentic island life, close to both town and sea.

The 150-square-meter space flows from an open hallway. To one side, a modern kitchen features sleek white cabinetry and a black marble island. The main living area, warmed by a modern log burner, opens through arched glass doors to the courtyard.

In the walled courtyard, a stone-flagged terrace sits beside a covered barbecue area featuring the original stone feeding troughs. A few steps lead up to a central solarium, flanked on one side by a slender, saltwater pool and on the other by a planted garden. A first-floor terrace, finished with antique tiles, overlooks the scene.

What we love

The house has a private and protected feel although it is within walking distance of the town center. We love the pool, the antique tiles used on the rough stone wall, and the thoughtful combination of the natural stone, rough in some areas, with the warm tones of the interior combined with modern furniture and touches. A surprise for the interior lover’s eye is the striking kitchen island.

Layout

This two-level home sleeps six guests in three bedrooms. One double bedroom with an adjacent WC is located off the entry hall. A staircase leads to the first floor, which hosts two en-suite bedrooms: a spacious double with garden views and an in-room tub, and a flexible double-twin room with a sitting area.

Experiences

The home includes a midweek refresh (for stays of 10 days or longer), end-of-stay cleaning, and a concierge service. For a more tailored stay, a private chef and daily housekeeping are available upon request.

Good to know

As a two-level townhouse with original stone stairs, it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility. It is located in a residential and commercial area of Santanyí town. There is a garage with one parking space in close proximity to the townhouse.

Around

This home for rent in Mallorca is located in Santanyí, on the southeastern coast of Mallorca. It stands just inland from the coast, its golden sandstone buildings made of locally quarried rock. The town’s history is varied—ancient Moors and Romans occupied it. Pirates pillaged the community, and villagers ultimately built fortifications and the Porta Mudarda city gate in hopes of fending off invaders. Still, the watchtowers, and fortified castles remain. Santanyí’s old town is partially enclosed within medieval city walls, and the town has been updated through the ages, with many 19th- and early 20th-century buildings now dominating the main square. At Santanyí’s heart is the Placa Major, a central plaza surrounded by shops, cafes, and three-story residences. Once a strictly agricultural or rural outpost, Santanyí is known today for its abundance of artisans and craftspeople, with studios, shops, taverns and gallery spaces lining the cobbled streets. Beaches with the island’s trademark turquoise waters are located a few kilometers from the town center.

Outdoorsy types will love the region’s mostly unspoiled coastline, with its sandy and rocky beaches and rugged inlets and coves. This is picture-perfect Mallorca, a timeless Mediterranean destination with wee ports, winding roads, and a fragrant, sun-kissed landscape. A nature reserve, the Mondrago Natural Park, is home to hundreds of species of water fowl and a number of rare orchid varieties. Inland roads lead to local farmsteads and working vineyards, and the adjacent port of Cala Figuera is a fishing village set on a dramatic, Y-shaped bay, where fig and pine trees hug sandstone cliffs, boats bob in the narrow inlets, and waterfront “garages” or sheds hold the colorful wooden vessels. Many of the latter are still used to haul in the daily catch of delectable seafood at the heart of the local cuisine.
