Finding a home with genuine soul is rare, yet this residence in Palma offers exactly that. Once a part of the historic Santa Fe church, this property in Palma invites a slower pace of life amidst the ancient stones of the Calatrava district. Set on the serene island of Mallorca, this architectural treasure has been sensitively reimagined, bridging the gap between its sacred heritage and modern, mindful living.

Property Interior

The main living area commands attention with its extraordinary six-metre vaulted ceilings, creating an airy atmosphere that feels both grand and grounded. Soft light filters through French doors, illuminating the open-plan layout where a bespoke kitchen integrates seamlessly with the dining space. Every corner reflects a commitment to craftsmanship, from the historic stone walls to the tactile finishes of the contemporary updates.

A graceful circular staircase descends to a flexible lower level, a secluded space that adapts to your personal rhythm. Whether envisioned as a quiet library, a temperature-controlled wine cellar, or a private creative studio, this subterranean retreat adds a layer of depth and versatility rarely found in city dwellings.

The sleeping quarters offer a sanctuary of rest, consisting of two generous bedrooms paired with refined en-suite bathrooms. Underfloor heating provides a gentle warmth throughout the cooler months, ensuring the home remains a cosy haven while the thick historic walls maintain a natural, cool stillness during the Balearic summer.

This outdoor sanctuary is ideally suited for slow mornings with a coffee or quiet evenings under the Mediterranean sky. The timber decking adds a warm, organic feel to the space, making it a natural extension of the indoor living area.
