Country & Town House: August 2009

A LA MODE MALLORCA

Forget package hols of yore. These days this Balearic island is has stylish villas galore. Make yourself at home at luxe-for-less farmhouse CAN PHUKET. From 19 September the price dips to €4375 a week; it sleeps 10, so that's just over €60 each a night. Or if you've got the bucks to blow on a Grand Designs-worthy show home CAN CRISTAL is a larger-than-life dream house. Its panoramic views will definately wow. But the €37500 a week price tag might make your eyes water, even when divided by 12.
