SUPERB DUPLEX IN LA CALATRAVA NEIGHBOURHOOD
It is precisely this admiration for the Majorcan culture and its history that led the current owner of this duplex to undertake a challenging renovation project that allowed the discovery and preservation of important archaeological elements. Thus, the ground floor and the first floor were unified in a duplex of open spaces with a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere.
A discreet glass door at street level leads to the hall of the apartment. We advance and soon the space opens up and is flooded with light that passes through the glass structures present on the ceiling, floor and walls. The historical marés arches, carefully illuminated, frame a room that combines luxury with the calm of its natural materials.
It is in this space that the Gaggenau designer kitchen is integrated into a bright dining room flanked by two charming patios. The dining room preserves the remains of an old Muslim leather tannery. Next to the kitchen we find an impressive wine cellar which is actually an old Arab water tank. On this floor we also find a complete bathroom, the laundry and the machine room that houses a sophisticated aerothermal system that provides heating, underfloor heating, air conditioning and hot water that allows savings of up to 60% on electricity bills without polluting the environment since it does not require fuel.
Carefully designed stairs lead us to the first floor where light is once again the protagonist. First of all we find the living room with two rooms and access to a sunny terrace. A stone fireplace, which has been preserved intact, contributes to the well-being that this room offers.
On this floor we also find a double bedroom with access to the terrace, a full bathroom and the master bedroom with a dressing room and a magnificent bathroom that invites you to take long baths.
It is undoubtedly a jewel that is the result of appreciation for our culture, the efficiency and precision of its restorers. A home where the traditional and the contemporary come together and that offers comfort and well-being while respecting the environment.

About Palma de Mallorca
Living in Mallorca is all about enjoying a natural paradise in the Mediterranean Sea, surrounded by turquoise waters, with 300 days of sunshine a year. It also means enjoying breathtaking sunrises and sunsets, white sandy beaches and an exquisite range of cuisine, as well as culture and leisure activities. Most of all, it is a place of tranquillity that captivates and enchants you, without renouncing its excellent transport links to the major European capitals. Its capital, Palma de Mallorca, was described as “the best place to live in the world” by the Financial Times.
The districts of Mallorca
In terms of areas, the most outstanding are the old quarter of Palma de Mallorca, the quiet neighbourhood of Calatrava, the bohemian Santa Catalina and the old fishing port of Portitxol. Although, without a doubt, Son Vida is still the most exclusive area, with the highest property prices in the city and the best location to enjoy impressive views over the bay of Palma. There are also very sought-after towns in the southwest of Mallorca, which are characterised by their proximity to the sea, such as Bendinat, Santa Ponsa, Puerto de Andratx or Puerto Portals. In recent times, towns in the centre of the island of Mallorca such as Alaró, Sineu or Santa María have also become popular with buyers who wish to live away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy incredible panoramic views of the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range.
