This mountain hideaway is magical. We woke up each morning to bird song, a sun kissed view over olive trees to the sea in the distance and a delicious breakfast.
The bed is one of the most comfy we've ever slept on, the shower hot and powerful and the breakfasts lovingly prepared and delivered to our terrace with a little twist each morning, making each unique: either homemade flapjacks, cake or shortbread with toast, jams, ham, cheese, cereals, fruit, yoghurt, a pot of coffee.... a feast fit for a king.
The hammocks and a good book (lots to choose from in your room) were a wonderful way of gently wiling away a morning or afternoon. The village of Galilea is a 5-10 minute walk away. Because we were in 'low season' some of the restaurants/ bars where closed in the evening so we chose to eat mainly in the neighbouring village of Puigpunyent a 10 minute drive down the mountain. Puigpunyent is another beautiful village framed by mountains with at least four bars/ restaurants. We favoured Ca Sa Nina for a great 'Tumbet' (Mallorquin Vegetable dish)
One of our favourite days was driving over the mountains (twisty turny roads and not for the feint hearted but with spectacular views!) to Banyalbulfar. There we did a beautiful walk to Port Des Canonge. It takes an hour to walk to Des Canonge with wide paths through the trees over looking dramatic coast line. We stopped at Can Toni Moreno for the most delicious orange cake and a cup of tea before setting back up over the mountain to our car parked in Banyalbufar. It took us about an hour each way and is really worth it.
Palma is only 20/25 minute drive away and great for a city fix - our favourite restaurant there was Restaurant Bon Lloc - they do an imaginative and filling 4 course vegetarian 'menu del dia' for 15 euros each.
If you're looking for peace, relaxation, a great location to explore the countryside and coast line of Mallorca and a caring, friendly family to host you look no further than this place! We'll be back ;-)
