From our first meeting with Miguel and his fascinating introductory tour of “Son Alzines” and Sa Tossa Corva Apartment, we fell in love with the place and were encouraged to roam the mountain paths over some 350 hectares, take in the magnificent views and make ourselves completely at home, which we did.
The family’s 600-year history at Son Alzines runs proudly deep in Miguel’s veins, made evident in the painstaking quality of planning, design and conversion of the finca’s outbuildings into stylish, simple, easy-living, comfortably-appointed apartments. In the blazing heat of late June, the naturally cool and airy interiors are just right.
Welcome touches like chilled drinks, a bottle of home-produced olive oil and well equipped bathrooms greeted us after a long day’s travel. The mountain-view pool was stunning, great for adults and small children, refreshing for frequent dips throughout the day.
But the magic of this finca is more than the sum of its parts. It’s definitely a place to return to, enlivened by the gracious charm and generous hospitality of host Miguel and his family.
