Old Mallorcan country house turned into a small rural hotel
Located in the upper part of the village of Estellencs, this traditional country house has been restored with warm colours, keeping its original character.
The hotel has five double bedrooms, plus another one for three or four people, all with their en-suite bathroom. They are equipped with air conditioning and fireplaces or wood stoves for the cold winter nights. Some have wonderful sea views and other overlook the green mountains.
There is also a cosy dining room, as well as a garden with a swimming pool, surrounded by carob trees and old olive trees. They offer home-made breakfast and dinner made with fresh local produce. They even produce their own wine with Malvasía local grapes, showing their guests all the stages of the process.
