1.   Ref 5603, Finca in Portol, Marratxi nr Palma, Mallorca
A clear winner, online and in the office, this beautiful 450m² finca typifies Mallorcan architecture and character.  Proving that modern living can be wrapped attractively in a traditional stone exterior, the finca has seven bedrooms, gorgeous gardens filled with water features and Mediterranean blooms as well as an entirely separate guest house.  Despite being just 15 minutes from Palma, all this set on a 10,400m² plot comes in at just 2.3 million euros – approx 1.93 million pounds.  

2.   Ref 5254, Villa in Son Vida, Palma, Mallorca
From the traditional to the super modern, this contemporary masterpiece is in one of Palma’s finest golf districts with the Island’s oldest golf course, Golf Son Vida designed in 1964, and an award-winning five star hotel on the doorstep.  Earning second spot on virtue of its location, architecture, quality and views across the entire bay of Palma, this four bedroom 745m² home occupies a private 3,850m² plot and is priced at 8.9 million euros – approx 7.46 million pounds.
