The 'Can Massa' town palace dates from the early 18th century
and is situated in the heart of Palma's old town, in the
prestigious Llonja district. The palace is just a stone's throw
from the Paseo Maritimo, Palma's smartest shopping street,
and close to the impressive "La Seu" Cathedral and the
imposing "Almuadina" royal palace.
Due to its impressive architecture the palace, which owes its
name to the pirate Capitan Joan Massá Bossia, is one of the
finest houses in the island and has great historical value.
In years of painstaking renovation work the developers have
successfully fused the modern and the traditional, breathing
new life into the building by paying close attention to detail
and using state-of-the-art technology as well as the finest materials.
This has led to the creation of four unique palace apartments of different
sizes (from approx. 120 square metres to approx. 300 square metres) set in an area of approx. 1,500
square metres. The apartments can be entered via a listed patio with a
romantic façade and a broad flight of steps. From there one can see the
idyllic garden, which captivates with a shady lemon tree and the soothing
splash of a fountain. There is also a modern lift which provides easy and
rapid access to the apartments.
The well laid-out apartments have an open-plan kitchen to the living/dining
area as well as several bathrooms or showers, as the case may be, with WCs
and guest WCs appointed in fine marble. Many features contribute to a feeling
of luxurious living: underfloor heating, air conditioning, sealed window units,
stuccoed and beamed ceilings, some feature fireplaces and cream-coloured marble
floors, to name but a few. The building's attractions include the studio
apartment with its large roof terrace and tower, which affords panoramic
views of Palma's harbour and the cathedral's rich ornamentation.
Within easy reach are embassies, consulates, doctors and pharmacies, shops
of any kind, 5-star hotels and the best known restaurants, making this one
of the prime locations in Mallorca.
Superlatives such as 'top-class palace apartment' or 'wonderful townhouse'
aptly describe 'Can Massa'. It is beyond doubt one of the most beautiful
and interesting properties in Mallorca, where the ambience of the past
combines with modern and safe living to produce a superb quality of life.
