Es Castell Finca Hotel, Caimari
Rural hotel in the Tramuntana foothills
This pretty eco-friendly hotel is located far from the crowded beaches. Situated on a hill, the view of the 750 acres that make up the grounds is impressive, encompassing the majestic Tramuntana Mountains at the back of the hotel, and the surrounding olive groves at the front, and further still, stretching over the many villages that dot the lower countryside, all the way up to bay of Alcúdia.
The hotel building dates from the 11th century and the property has been in the same family since the 15th century. There is a cobbled patio, and a medieval well in the courtyard. The building preserves the Almanzara or olive press, and there are very beautiful gardens with a pool, with its dazzle of bougainvillea, an al fresco terrace, where you are likeliest to have your meals, and a roof terrace, where you can appreciate the spectacular view with a cold glass of Pere Seda and a plate of pimientos de Padron. Inside, they have a lounge with a fireplace behind the formal dining room.
There are 11 double rooms and 1 junior suite decorated in traditional Mallorcan style. Each reflects the character of this distinctive location and offers all the modern comforts you are likely to require, including air conditioning, heating, and en-suite bathrooms. All rooms offer spectacular views of the finca and beyond.

The Restaurant
The restaurant serves only fresh produce, and you can join them on weekly trips to the S’Olivar fish market in Palma. Although the emphasis is on Mallorcan specialities, their Italian roots ensure that home-made bread and pasta feature daily on the menu. Much of the produce used in their kitchen is from the Finca Es Castell own grounds - lamb, chicken, oranges, lemons, tangerines, figs, almonds, olives, pears, honey - and from the local markets.
