Can Tafona

The villa

Nestled in the peaceful countryside near Pollensa, Can Tafona is a traditional Mallorcan farmhouse that reflects the island’s rural heritage. Dating back to 1497, the property retains many original features and offers a glimpse into a more historic way of life. Surrounded by open landscapes and mountain views, it provides a quiet and secluded setting while remaining within easy reach of Pollensa’s town centre and nearby beaches.

Inside, the house is characterised by its old - fashioned style and preserved architectural details. Thick stone walls, exposed beams and rustic furnishings run throughout, creating a sense of authenticity rather than modern luxury. One of the most distinctive features is the traditional tafona , an original olive press set within one of the living areas, highlighting the property’s agricultural past. The layout includes multiple living spaces, a fully equipped kitchen and several bedrooms suited to families or small groups.

The outdoor areas are simple and functional, but with plenty of space, with terraces for dining and a private swimming pool set within the grounds. Guests can enjoy the surrounding natural scenery and a slower pace of life, whether relaxing outside or exploring the nearby countryside. Can Tafona is best suited to those looking for a characterful, historic property and an authentic Mallorcan experience rather than contemporary design.

Set in the quiet rural landscape of northern Mallorca, this farmhouse enjoys a peaceful location just outside the historic town of Pollensa. The centre of Pollensa is approximately a 10 - minute drive away, where you’ll find a charming mix of narrow cobbled streets, traditional restaurants, local markets and cultural landmarks such as the Calvari steps and main square. This close proximity makes it easy to dip into town life while still enjoying the privacy of a countryside setting.

For beach days, Puerto Pollensa is within easy reach at roughly 15 minutes by car. Here, a long sweep of sandy shoreline is complemented by calm, shallow waters, making it ideal for swimming and relaxing by the sea. The seafront promenade is lined with cafés, restaurants and shops, offering a more vibrant coastal atmosphere compared to the inland tranquillity of the villa.

The surrounding area is also well suited to exploring, with scenic walking and cycling routes, as well as access to the Tramuntana mountains. This location strikes a balance between rural seclusion and convenient access to both town and coast.
