Year after year, guests come back for the same small things: the welcome, the terrace, the bay at breakfast.

THE HOUSE

A house on the hill, a port at its feet

The same family has kept this house for years. White walls, yellow shutters, a terrace of barrel cactus and old olive. From the terrace you look down on the marina: the masts, the breakwater, the boats coming in. The town stays low and white around the water. Behind it, the Tramuntana. We keep the rooms simple and the doors open, and the bay does the rest.

ROOMS

The rooms

Plain, bright, kept simple

Plain, clean rooms in an old whitewashed house. Yellow shutters, tiled floors, a bed and a window that opens. Some give onto a small private balcony with a stone bench in the morning sun; the arched porch runs the length of the rooms, looking out over pine and garden green.

TABLE

Breakfast in blue

The dining room & salon

Breakfast is laid in a bright room of deep-blue cloths and hand-painted ceramic plates ranged along the wall. Off it, the old salon keeps its gilt mirrors, oil paintings and potted ferns: the kind of room a house gathers over many years. You take your coffee, then carry the morning out to the terrace.

The bay below

The harbour of Port d'Andratx, straight down the hill. White hulls at anchor, the breakwater, the ferry crossing the bay. The town low and bright around the water; the Tramuntana standing behind it. The light changes all day, and you watch it from the terrace.

From the terrace — the marina and the hills

THE PLACE

Cactus, stone and yellow shutters

The small things the house is made of: the garden it's grown over the years, the warm stone, the sea light.
