Property GuideSantanyí

Santanyi is the source of the famous golden sandstone so when you visit, do not be surprised if the honey-coloured buildings here look just that little bit milder than elsewhere. This pretty stone can be admired in buildings all over the island and in particular in Palma's cathedral and the La Lonja area along the Palma sea front. Capture the atmosphere of this enchanting town by entering via the old gate called Sa Porta Murada which is a good example of this beautiful stone and also a reminder that this was once a walled town. The moment you start to look for a plot for sale in Santanyi you will immediately succumb to the charm of this town and its lovely surroundings.

Santanyi has a lot to offer visitors, visit the parish church of Sant Andreu Apostel and admire the fabulous rococo organ, designed by Jordi Bosch and brought here from a convent in Palma. The town square is a popular place to sit and sip a coffee or a glass of wine and watch the activities. The café and restaurant, Sa Botiga in the heart of the town has become one of the “in” locations to meet friends and local regulars.

Another very popular restaurant is the French run “L’Art de Vivre”, the owner is a passionate artist and her works of art decorate the walls. Her daughter is a celebrated chef in California where she lives during the winter months. This delightful café/restaurant can be found on the main square. The scenery surrounding Santanyi, the light and the atmosphere of the town are perfect for artistic people, therefore, over the years many international artists have settled here.
