MOUNTAIN SONG

MOUNTAIN SONG

Having been regular visitors to Mallorca prior to purchasing a property on the island, Mercedes and João Marques Pinto searched for their ideal home for quite a while before they found it. This was because they were looking for something a little out of the ordinary, explains Mercedes. “We wanted to find [a house] that we could come to all year around,” she says. They were also looking for a location that “would have activities for us and the kids, and we also wanted it to be in quite close proximity to a port”.

When they finally discovered this abode— more than 15 years ago now—the couple fell for its “charming appearance” right away, says Mercedes. She adds that the house is called Ca’n Marquet, a name that it has had since long before the Marques Pintos became its owners, and one which hints at its long and probably complex history.

“Unfortunately, we know very little about [the history of ] the house or the families who lived here,” says Mercedes. “[But] we have learnt that initially two families lived in the house—and we also found an interesting underground alcove, where supposedly contraband items were hidden hundreds of years ago.”
