While riding horseback one morning in the late sixties, actor\/comic Terry-Thomas and his wife Belinda discovered \u201cCan Talaias\u201d.<\/p>\n
It was just an old, rundown hilltop finca surrounded by dry wheat fields and carob trees but with altogether breathtaking views, it was heaven on earth. It took years to build the main house which was extended from the original finca.<\/p>\n
The improvements were done in a gorgeous ibicencan style, with thick walls and soft rounded edges. Of course, the eccentric luxuries found their places in the dark wood floors, the large arched windows (with cushions) and the lovely fire places.<\/p>\n
In its gardens and greenhouses, various plants indigenous to the Baleares are cultivated, especially the water-wise varieties.<\/p>\n<\/div>
Ten years ago, Can Talaias became one of the first Agroturismo\u2019s on the island.<\/p>\n
Today, it is managed by Terry-Tomas\u2019 youngest son, Cushan and Laetitia. They maintain a very relaxed style which makes for the perfect holiday.<\/p>\n<\/div>
