Finca Hotel Son Palou

A country estate dating from the 14th century Finca Hotel Son Palou is set on a hilltop in 150 hectares of orchards and fields, overlooking the Orient valley.

The stone buildings retain their typical rural Mallorcan character and the 12 air-conditioned guestrooms combine traditional Mediterranean decor with modern amenities. All have bathrooms with hair dryers and include high-speed Internet connections, satellite television, direct-dial phones, minibars and safes.

Breakfast is offered each morning and the hotel restaurant serves a range of Mediterranean dishes and Mallorcan specialities in a traditional setting with a terrace area overlooking the mountains.

Guests can stroll through the cherry and apple trees in the hotel's extensive grounds, enjoy organised hikes and mountain bike rides in the local area, or relax and go for a refreshing dip in the outdoor pool. For those in need of some pampering the hotel also offers a range of beauty treatments include massage and reflexology.

Guests arriving by car will find complimentary parking near to the hotel and practical amenities include a 24-hour front desk and 24-hour room service.

There are many towns and villages to explore in the area: Alaro, Bunyola, Consell (the nearest train station) and Inca are all within ten kilometres, and the island's capital, Palma de Mallorca is 25 kilometres away.
