I cannot recommend Rosa and Claudio’s place highly enough! It’s rare to stay in an Airbnb that is run to such a high standard but so naturally and effortlessly. Rosa and Claudio are the most hospitable hosts we’ve ever encountered and this shines through in the way they run Son Blanc. It’s not just ‘a bit of extra money on the side’ but a labour of love that comes from a deep-routed love of connecting with people.
We stayed as two couples, we had a three-month-old and the other a two-year-old, and the house suited our needs brilliantly. Essentially, it’s two apartments (with a shared kitchen) surrounding a delightful swimming pool and bbq/dining area. With two children at different ages (and with different sleeping patterns) the balance of private and communal space was perfect. The pool area gets the sun for pretty much the whole day and is very well sheltered from the Balearic winds. Everything inside and out is beautifully finished with lots of little boho-chic touches - it’s clean and smart but with a lived-in feel. The kitchen is well equipped and has everything you’d need including lovely Japanese knives, which were actually sharp, something you seldom see in holiday rentals. Fresh towels were provided for the the bathrooms and the poolside, as was shampoo and shower gel. We were greeted with a basket full of snacks and a bowl full of fruit in case we hadn’t made it to the supermarket, and they’d even laid out rash-vests for the children as some added sun protection in the pool!
This generosity continued throughout the trip and Rosa was always available on the phone to give us tips on places to eat or local festivals that the children might like. They even surprised us one night with some Rosé from Claudio’s own vineyard, which was delicious with local takeaway paella from the restaurant in town (recommended by Rosa, of course).
Rosa and Claudio went above and beyond to ensure we had the most relaxing and comfortable time with them in Mallorca and we couldn’t be more grateful for everything they did for us.
A beautiful house, great location and perfects hosts - what’s not to love?!
