Why Valldemossa Real Estate?
One of the main reasons why second home buyers and visitors choose Valldemossa is to enjoy the natural setting and countryside. It is only around 30 minutes’ drive from Palma de Mallorca but feels the world away from the capital. In spite of the fact that the region gets a fair number of travellers in summer, it remains a heaven for those, who are in search of quietness and willing to get away from the main touristic areas. Also, it is popular with the middle aged couples who are drawn by the cultural heritage of the area and outdoor sports fans who use it as a starting point to explore the nearby hiking trails and mountain peaks.
The centre of the municipality is the old town of paved streets, stone façades, well-tended houses and impressive villas. With its car-free cobbled alleys, filled with cafes, galleries and gift shops, and rich culture, the town of Valldemossa is a treat to visit and live in. The village is enclosed by abundant and lush vegetation of olive trees, oaks and almond trees, and provides the feeling of calmness. Luckily, it has hardly changed since it was first inhabited, despite the arrival of tourism.
These attributes, along with its location, highly positioned in the Tramuntana mountains steadily continue to make Valldemossa a perfect second home and holiday destination for individuals of all ages, ranging from the energetic mountain admirers to the more relaxed, who simply wants to benefit from the nature, cultural venues and local cuisine in a laid-back, hospitable environment.
