Hands down, the best holiday we've had in a very long time. SON POU NOU is the most beautiful "finca". Surrounded by olive trees, fig plants, peppers, melons, watermelons and some sheep, the recently renovated original farm house is the perfect setting for a very special vacation.
The apartment was very big, spotless and incredible comfortable. We found everything we needed in the kitchen, fans in the rooms and towels and beach towels.
We were pleasantly surprised of how fast and easy was to find it as well. About half an hour from Palma and close to Manacor you would think it felt busy or noisy but on the contrary, set in the middle of beautiful hills the original farmhouse, dated back to the late 1800s, has been renovated with attention to detail, it still has the very special feel of a old house but with modern amenities where you will be able to hear birds chirping all day long while enjoying the pool.
However, what really stands out above all, is the owner, Catalina; the hospitality and personal attention she provides are what makes the stay truly special.
Catalina is simply the best host in the world. The farm has been in her family for 4 generations and she proudly continues with its legacy whilst at the same time doing everything possible to make you feel special and welcome.
She contacted us as soon as we landed in Palma to give us pointers on how to get to her place, where to eat, buy groceries. When we arrived she welcomed us and took the time to show us around and made us feel not only welcomed but like family. She answered all our questions, shared vegetables and fruits she picked up from her garden, showed our 7 year old son the sheep and chickens and made sure every day that we were doing ok. Gave us pointers and directions to beaches and Calas, amongst other things she graciously helped us with.
Catalina made us feel like we were family, she is kind, attentive, respectful and professional. She takes pride in all she has done for the farm and as soon as you see how special the place is you understand. I could keep singing praises about her because she is the very best AirB&B host in the world, hands down.
We are already planning our next visit!
