My partner and I stayed at Astrid and Dirk's incredible studio home for a week in June. Not only were we stunned by the natural beauty of the property, but also by the personal touches made for us to feel whole-heartedly welcome. From the fresh flowers on the linens to the welcome champagne and conversation upon our arrival, Astrid and Dirk's generosity and hospitality is both apparent and never-ending. They patiently entertained our endless questions about Mallorca, guiding us to the best restaurant spots and the most lovely hikes and swims. When not discussing the Mallorcan sights, they made the extra effort to get to know us and help us in tricky situations (aka a miscalculated car rental drop off). The goodness of their hearts and character is both inspiring and reflective within their home and leased property.
As for the finca itself, you really couldn't dream up a more beautiful stay even if you tried. Prospering rose bushes and fruit trees line the pathways and entrances of the home. Their gentle dogs spend the days happily chasing each other around the property. The pool and outdoor terrace truly look staged for an Architectural Digest photoshoot. All the tools needed to prepare a lovely meal outside on the grill / private outdoor terrace is at your disposal and fresh mineral water is conveniently provided for you to purchase. Overall, this stay in Algaida was a wonderful, memorable trip. We hope to keep in touch with Astrid and Dirk and would love to visit them in the future. These two have big plans, and I can't wait to see what they dream up next. :-)
