About this property

Exclusive location near old town with pool & jacuzzi. Ideal couples & families.

Unwind in this 4 bedroom, 5 bathroom villa set within beautiful gardens in an exclusive, tranquil neighbourhood.

Located approximately 1.5kms from the beautiful old town of Pollenca, and just a ten minute drive to the beaches in the port.
The north of the island is renowned for cycling. The house is perfect for friends or couples looking for somewhere offering space and privacy, luxury, comfort and convenient access to fantastic cycling routes.
Also ideal for families, Villa Barracuda offers privacy and stunning views of the magnificent Tramontana mountains. This exclusive getaway has everything you need for the perfect holiday, including gated entry and secure, on-property parking.

The sparkling swimming pool is set within the centre of the house - tiled in the style of the artist, Joan Miro. From inside the pool there are four huge, aquarium style windows allowing rippling sunlight and pool views into four of the rooms in the house.

The living accommodation is on the ground floor and an extensive sun deck with American style outdoor kitchen surrounds the swimming pool upstairs. Soak up the sunshine on the private pool deck sipping ice cold beers on comfy sofas, relaxing on sun loungers, sinking into huge bean bags, taking a dip in the pool or bubbling in the jacuzzi.

The roof around the perimeter of the pool deck provides welcome shade in the heat of the day, and a more cozy atmosphere after dark. Sofas are placed near an outdoor fireplace which is the perfect area to relax in the evening with a glass of delicious local wine, to watch the crackling flames and star gaze.

The outdoor kitchen is by American brand "Fire Magic" and includes a large gas BBQ, gas hob, fridge and sink with hot water. There's also a wood-fired pizza oven, which is always a big hit with guests! The outdoor kitchen is stocked with it's own extensive supply of crockery, cutlery and utensils.

The property was totally renovated in 2016, drawing inspiration from international artists and LA style. Essential features are air conditioning, fast speed FTTP broadband, TVs, Sonus music system and video entry system.

The house provides very spacious accommodation, with a layout ideally suited to couples or two families. There are four large bedrooms - two with queen beds and two with twin beds. Each bedroom has an en-suite shower-room (one with bath), fitted wardrobes, TV and access to private sun terraces.

The large, cool, living room has views over the lovely gardens and patio doors open to a covered terrace which catches the evening sun. This room is a nice area to relax with comfy leather sofas, a large wi-fi enabled TV and a dining area with a beautiful glass table that seats eight.

The fitted kitchen features a central island finished in local, natural stone, with the cooking area at one end, and bar stools at the opposite end for casual eating or company for the chef! Appliances include two built-in Neff fan ovens (one is a combination microwave/oven), induction hob, American style fridge/freezer with chilled, filtered water, dishwasher, wine fridge, Nespresso coffee machine and an abundance of cupboards and drawers with almost every utensil and appliance a cook could desire.

From the kitchen, French doors open into a pretty, pebbled terrace set around the original well, which is now topped with a circle of natural stone and surrounded by bar stools. This area captures the morning sun and is the perfect place to enjoy breakfast or cosy evening dining.

A glass door from the kitchen leads into the striking entrance terrace with steps to the huge, wooden front door and further steps leading up the pool area.

In addition to the living room, there are two informal lounge areas with sofas.

Stunning, Mediterranean gardens surround the house and amount to approximately one third of an acre. Offering a high degree of privacy, the gardens are screened on all sides by stone walls, fencing and established trees, palms & bushes. A mature lemon tree offers fragrant, fresh lemons for the perfect gin & tonics.

The villa is accessed via an electric gate opening into the large driveway affording parking for a number of cars. There is a video entry system to open the gate from inside the house too.

The house has full laundry facilities with washing machine, tumble drier and clothes lines in a separate terrace out of sight from the main house. Guests also have ironing facilities and other cleaning products & utensils for their own convenience and hygiene.

The rental includes weekly cleaning with fresh towels and bedding. Should guests require extra cleaning and/or additional towels or bedding, this can be arranged at an additional cost.

Wonderful Break

We had a wonderful stay here. Kids loved the pool which was set into the middle of the property and could be viewed from the kitchen and sitting room. We spent most of our time on the pool deck taking advantage of the outdoor kitchen, eating and relaxing areas. The grounds are beautifully kept and views from the pool deck are stunning. Host was very friendly & helpful with tips of what to do in the area.

We were a family of 4 (two boys aged 13 & 15) and had 9 wonderful nights at the villa. It had everything you needed, was lovely and spacious with a fantastic layout including the whole upstairs outside being the pool, al fresco dining and entertaining area. The location of the villa is perfect, being a very short drive into Pollenca where we had a few nights out and having some lovely meals as well as visiting a highly recommended Sunday market. The port is only a 10 minute drive which was great for a day/evening out as well as the extensive beach. Wendy, the owner was amazing before we arrived, helping us with any queries we had about the villa and the area. There was nothing else we needed from the villa, was like a home away from home. We would highly recommend and will be looking to come back and visit again soon. Thanks for having us.

Just as it says on the tin!

Barracuda is in an exceptionally peaceful, upmarket urbanisation, close to Pollensa old town. We were very happy with the standard, which is exactly what we expected. The villa had everything we needed, with lots of covered sitting and dining areas on the upper floor. It was, however, unfortunate that the air con had failed just prior to our arrival on a very hot week and could not be fixed whilst we were there. This was an important factor for us when booking and, in our view, should have been recompensed, Although Wendy did her utmost by providing fans and mobile units (not a patch on a proper system)

Thanks for the lovely review Pamela. My apologies once again that the air conditioning was not working during your stay. As you said, I did my utmost to provide alternative air conditioning, as the technicians kept promising it would be fixed quickly. Sadly, it wasn't (which was because of difficulties obtaining parts post covid). The air conditioning is now working perfectly though. x
