Casa Amore

The colourful Casa Amore pays homage to its traditional finca heritage, while painted details and quirky sculptures give it the character of a contemporary holiday home.

Up in the hills near San José, also known locally as Sant Josep de sa Talaia, this classic whitewashed villa has a truly artsy side. Flashes of Ikat print fabrics, blue-painted wooden beams and eclectic sculptures, statues and curiosities give every space unique focal points. In the living room is a larger-than-life alabaster face. The villa itself features multiple dining options, indoors and out, and alcoved seating areas that are carved into the walls. Arched doorways and carved shelves add layers of intrigue to the interior and outside hammocks and secluded pergolas offer the perfect spots for an afternoon with a book.  

Rustic stone-walls, terracotta roof tiles and the pink blossoms that creep up the villa’s exterior herald it as a traditional finca at heart. Step outside and you’re surrounded by fragrant flowers and luxuriant trees; swim in the wood-decked pool, or chill out under the terrace canopy and admire the views out to sea. The sunny roof terrace has panoramic views over the surround countryside and acts as a social hub day and night. 

All of the five bedrooms feature en suites, with the master enjoying its own private terrace with a view over the hillside to the sea. Two bedrooms occupy a structure separate to the main house, and almost all rooms have access to a private terrace or garden area.
