Santuari de la Mare de Déu des Puig

Pollença


Take in the full sweep of the north coast from this captivating hilltop hermitage in Pollença, where goat bells are your alarm call and a converted hermit's cell your abode. Staying here is an ascetic, tranquil experience. First-floor rooms have the edge. Guests can use the refectory and barbecue areas, or you can order food. Call to reserve.
