Villa Galilea

AUTHENTIC VILLAGE LIVING IN GALILEA WITH STUNNING SEA VIEWS

There is something truly special about the air in Galilea. As the highest village in Mallorca, it offers a lifestyle that feels worlds away from the hustle of the coast, yet it remains one of the most connected and scenic spots on the island. We are delighted to introduce this authentic stone-built home, dating back to the 1800s, which perfectly captures the ”slow living” Mediterranean dream.

Between the thick local stone walls and the south-facing orientation, this home is a sanctuary of peace. It has been thoughtfully renovated over the last 15 years, ensuring that while it retains its historic soul and solid construction, it meets the comforts of modern living. With 209 sqm of interior space set on a generous 1,181 sqm plot, there is a genuine sense of privacy and room to breathe here.

THE HEART OF THE HOME AND THE OUTDOOR LIFESTYLE

One of the most remarkable features is the expansive covered terrace, measuring over 100 sqm. It serves as a second living room where you can sit with a coffee and gaze across the rolling mountains all the way to the distant blue of the Mediterranean. Inside, the open fireplace creates a cozy focal point for those cooler winter evenings, making this a true year-round residence.

The gardens are a delight—a classic country cottage arrangement with various seating areas tucked away among local fruit trees. The large swimming pool is located in a separate section of the garden, ensuring total tranquility when you want to cool off while still enjoying those iconic village and sea views. For practical village living, the property also includes a separate garage and gated off-road parking, a significant advantage in this area.

LIVING LIKE A LOCAL IN GALILEA

Galilea is famous for its relaxed pace and friendly community. It is the kind of place where you know your neighbors and life revolves around the village square. Despite its peaceful mountain setting, the connections are excellent. A short, scenic drive takes you down to Es Capdella, opening up easy access to the southwest hubs of Andratx and Peguera.

For families, the area is surprisingly convenient. Top-tier international schools like Agora Portals and the British International College (BIC) are within a manageable drive. If you are a fan of the sea, the world-class marinas of Puerto Portals and Port Adriano are your local playgrounds for yachting and watersports. For the active, the surrounding Galatzó public estate offers some of the best hiking and trail running on the island, right on your doorstep.
