This amazing house dates back to the 11th century and is an important part of Fornalutx. It was impressively modernised in 2019 with respect given to the original features of the house.
Enjoy serene luxury in a traditional Mallorquin setting.
Placed in the beautiful village of Fornalutx - several times named “The most beautiful village in Spain” - the Posada de Balitx is an historic 660 square meter residence that offers beautiful views of the mountains around Soller valley, and immediate access to the historic narrow alleys of Fornalutx with its flowers, small stores and restaurants. Soller valley offers endless opportunities for hiking, bicycling or simply enjoying the lush green landscape with it’s creeks and orange groves. Port de Soller and a swim in the ocean is only 15 minutes away by car.
Although the Posada de Balitx is an old traditional stone house the interior light quality is excellent and the whole house is bathing in natural light through the day.
The house is entered from the old main street, once built by the Moors, through the beautiful main door. The spacious and cool “Entrada” is ideal for receiving guests with a cool drink after a walk.
On the first floor there is a large, fully equipped kitchen with two dishwashers, a large fridge/freezer, induction stove and hot air oven. The kitchen table sits 6 people and there are 3 seats by the kitchen island.
From the kitchen a terrace with outdoor seating for 12 persons can be accessed. The terrace is shaded by grapevine and bougainvillea. Here a plunge pool of approx 15 square metres is being constructed that will be ready for the holiday season 2020. From the terrace there is access to the garden that is currently being created.
On the first floor, next to the kitchen, you find the main dining room, with a large jacaranda table seating 12 under the designer chandelier. This room also houses a newly tuned piano and a working fireplace that makes it the perfect place for entertaining.
Next is the living room with plenty of cosy sofas and armchairs in front of another large, working fireplace.

The top floor has two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. One bedroom has a double bed and the other one a double bed and a bed sofa that fits two persons.
Finally, on the very top of the house is the Studio with amazing views over the rooftops of Fornalutx, the mountains and the valley. It’s a big space, ideal for activities like yoga, readings or spending time with friends. Or for just relaxing in the bean bags with a book. The studio is also equipped with a chromecast enabled projector and is often used as a home cinema during the nights.
Just outside the Studio is a roof terrace of approx 25 square metres equipped with a garden table, sun chairs and an outdoor shower for cooling on hot days. The terrace is perfect for pre-dinner drinks and snacks.
All in all, Sa Posada de Balitx offers a historic yet modern holiday with walking trails literally starting outside the house and with Soller and Port the Soller within walking distance. Deia and Palma can be reached in 20-30 minutes by car. The interior distribution and outside space also lends itself well for events and weddings.
