Casa del Viento is an artist residency and vacation home. Far from the bustle of Mallorca's touristic corners, this serene architectural house is located in Betlem, just steps from the Mediterranean Sea and a mountainous nature reserve.
With two bedrooms and an open plan communal area, the house can accommodate up to five people. Both bedrooms are en suite and have their own private terraces. The bespoke kitchen is fully equipped. The additional rooftop terrace provides spectacular views of the sea to one side and of the mountains to the other.
Bedroom 1
The bedroom on the upper floor has a queen size bed and a private, en suite bathroom. The views are of the mountains, the sea and the winter garden, which is home to a limequat tree and the ideal place to dry off after a swim.
Bedroom 2 (Studio)
The studio can serve as a bedroom for up to two people or as a place to work. It has a private, en suite bathroom and a door that opens on to the front terrace, which sees the morning sun all year round.
The Outdoors
Spending time outdoors will naturally become part of your days here. The sea is less than twenty meters from the front door so it’s ideal for an early morning swim. In the evening, you can sit on the rooftop terrace, with its spectacular views of the pastel sunsets over the bay of Alcudia.
The entrance to the Parc Natural de la Península de Llevant, a mountainous nature reserve with secluded beaches, is just a short walk from the house and offers many options for day-long hikes.
Communal Areas
The open-plan kitchen is fully equipped and has a gas stove. It connects to a dining area. The ceramic plates and platters are an example of typical Mallorcan craft and were all made on the island. The living room has over five meter high ceilings, a reading nook and space to do yoga.
Rainy Seasons & Winter
Winters on the island are charming, but they can also be damp. Unlike most houses on the island, Casa del Viento has central floor heating and a clean-burning, efficient wood stove to stay warm during colder months.
Price
To maintain the neighborhood feeling of Betlem, Casa del Viento is only available as a vacation home and work abroad rental house, not as a short-term holiday rental. The minimum rental period is 30 days. Rates vary depending on the season and the length of your stay. Please contact us with your dates for a price.
Casa del Viento offers an artist residency at a minimal charge. Our residency is perfect for writers and visual artists. Those who have stayed here have found that the views, tranquil surroundings and living situation have been inspiring and helpful for focusing on their craft. If you have a project you are working on and feel a stay in our house would help you reach its completion, please don't hesitate to get in touch with a brief bio and project outline.
