Freedom, Peace, Tranquility, Sea Air & Countryside

Here at Destination Balcary, The Farmhouse is the original house for the farm. It has been home to our family since 2002, and many a happy time has been had, many memories made but in life things change.

The Farmhouse has been recently renovated and it is now a luxurious holiday home so visitors to Balcary can stay little longer, and enjoy some comfort.  Enjoy the outdoors, and the benefits of freedom, peace, tranquility, sea air, countryside. Need we say much more. We would like you to “stay in a place like no other”.
