la Selva is the epitome of style and comfort, a sublime retreat for five couples, ideally located for cycling.
Conveniently located near the centre of the island (and the wine making area) you are only a 30 minute drive to beaches or to Palma. This well-designed, well-equipped and most elegantly decorated property has 5 bedrooms (1 on the ground floor and 4 on the upper level.) From the upper terraces you can the Tramontana mountains and all the way to the ocean and Alcudia Bay. Cycling:
Performance 9/10; Recreational 9/10 The area around la Selva is ideal for a mixed group of cyclists (and we never give perfect 10s). You are centrally located and so strong riders have access to all the island's most famous cycling routes. But the flat and rolling terrain of the surrounding farmland and vineyards affords a wide variety of less demanding routes too. All the major cycling attractions of the island withing reasonable reach. The round trip to the top of the famed Sa Calobra climb is just 42km round trip (then add 2x13kms for the down and back up.) All in all, a pretty perfect hilly 68km route. The super scenic Cap Formentor route is 90kms return, and can be reached via either a hilly or a flatter route. Recreational cyclists have excellent flatter routes right out the door, exploring the quiet stone wall-lined lanes that weave through the vineyards and farm land. In brief, the Inca area works well for both Performance AND Recreational cyclists. Location
