Casa Piedad is situated in a rural and secluded location, just a short drive away from Felanitx, a rural town and municipality in the region of Pla & Llevant in southeast Mallorca. Situated around 50 kilometres from the capital city of Palma, it is now the centre of Mallorca’s second-largest wine region.
Felanitx has good shopping facilities for every day, plus many local products such as wine and pottery. Mallorca is mostly known for the production of red wine, but this area also produces a number of very good quality white wines. There is a regular Sunday market, plus permanent stalls which sell flowers and fresh produce every day, except on Mondays and is based in Sa Placa.
There is also the imposing church of San Miguel within the town which dates back to the 16th century, has a sweeping staircase entrance and once suffered a major collapse which took the lives of hundreds of worshippers. There is a monument within the church to memorialise this.
Felanitx enjoys a relaxed atmosphere where you can simply stroll around and enjoy the golden stone buildings and hidden squares. Once you have explored the town, one of the most enjoyable things to do in Felanitx visits some of the surrounding vineyards and sample the local wine. Hiking and biking is a great way to take in the local countryside where you can find peace and quiet even in peak season. There are a number of routes which allow both gentle and more hilly, challenging walks and rides.
Felanitx is not far from the sea, so you do not have to travel far to find watersports, sailing and yachting. The nearest major beach resorts to Felanitx are Portocolom and Cala D’or, but there is a pretty little cove called ‘Sa Nau’, a short distance away, which snakes inland from the coast and offers fine white sand and crystal clear waters. The nearest golf course is the 18-hole green of Vall D'or.
