Una Casa Maiorchina Senza Tempo: Una Vita Autentica Nel Cuore DI Selva

Selva is a small, largely unspoiled village in the foothills of the Serra de Tramuntana, the mountain range that runs along Mallorca’s northwestern spine and holds UNESCO World Heritage status as a cultural landscape. The village retains its medieval street pattern, its parish church of Sant Llorenç dominating the central square, and an architectural fabric of stone townhouses that has changed little over centuries. It sits at an elevation that keeps summers noticeably cooler than the coastal resorts below.

Daily life centres on the village square and the weekly market in nearby Inca, a ten-minute drive, which is the main commercial hub for this part of the island. The restaurant Es Turó in Selva itself has a strong local following. Caimari, the next village, is known for its olive oil production and the restaurant L’Hermitage is within easy reach for more formal dining.

Inca, the nearest town with a rail connection, is approximately ten kilometres away and offers direct train services to Palma, with the journey taking around 35 minutes. Palma de Mallorca Airport is roughly 35 kilometres from Selva, accessible in under 40 minutes by car via the Ma-13 motorway. The airport operates year-round international routes to most major European cities, with additional seasonal capacity that makes the island highly accessible from spring through autumn.
