Ca'n Taronja (The house of oranges) is situated in a quiet part of Fornalutx, close to the river "Torrent Major", overlooking a charming little garden of orange trees. It has been tastefully restored by a local architect with white walls, terracotta floors, beams and traditional green shutters; there is a blend of contemporary with traditional mallorquin design. It has a roof terrace with views over the mountains. The charming village square with cafes, grocery store, bank and pharmacy is only 150 metres away. From the front door there are stunning walks both up into the mountains and along the beautiful valley lined with olive, orange, lemon & almond trees.
