Beautiful Spanish Retreat is a Shipping Container-Capped Rooftop Casa

If you looking to rent a stylish little house in the Spanish Mediterranean, we just found the perfect place. A tiny stucco home on the island of <a href="http://www.illesbalears.es/ing/majorca/home.jsp">Mallorca</a>, just east of the Spanish coast, has been converted into a thoroughly contemporary rental with a pool, decks, and a <a href="http://inhabitat.com/compact-shipping-container-house-challenges-space-requirements-in-colorado/">shipping container</a> for the upstairs bedroom. Balbina &amp; Miquel&nbsp;<a href="https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/328541">will host</a> lucky visitors in a quiet little neighborhood in Palma.

The conversion of an old villa into a modern <a href="http://inhabitat.com/daylighting/">light-filled</a> space is a bit of an achievement.

The ground floor features a modern kitchen and dining area that open directly to the small courtyard in back though a large sliding glass door.

An itty bitty pool and shaded patio make for a relaxed afternoon.

Even though the home is small the design still took space to make room for a small tree inserted into the living space.

The design provides natural relief and plenty of indirect sunlight.

In the evening guests climb up a spiral stairway to a cozy bedroom overlooking the Spanish tile-clad neighboring roofs.

The bedroom is contained inside a shipping container, clad in wood and bookended in <a href="http://inhabitat.com/fashionable-sao-paulo-furniture-store-shows-its-goods-in-colorful-stacked-containers/decameron-4/?extend=1">full-height glass</a>.

Step outside onto the fake grass and immerse yourself in the city.

The big windows are each protected by <a href="http://inhabitat.com/the-prefab-sol-duc-cabin-by-olson-kundig-architects-rests-lightly-on-four-stilts/">shutter which rolls out the full length</a> of the container.

Clad in wood, the container is significantly softened, and a small round window which pivots to open in the middle provides fresh air at night.

The best part is that you can have it for a <a href="https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/328541">very reasonable $105 a night</a>.
