Finca Fresh

Finca Fresh: Balearic Islands

Dating back to 1894, this sprawling farm estate is off the beaten track – the perfect spot if you're looking for peace and privacy. Comprising three farm buildings with en-suite bedrooms, this place gives everyone plenty of their own space, while allowing you to come together for fun.

We love the whitewashed, minimalist interiors, which combine contemporary furniture with period touches, like the period stone fountain next to the glass fireplace. Cooking together with the whole gang is like a celebration – you can whip up a storm in the huge kitchen or make use of the gas grill outside, to be enjoyed at leisure on the terrace. There’s an excellent set-up for alfresco dining, so you can live as the locals do and dine late into the evening under the stars.

The grounds are at your sole disposal – you can stroll through the orchard or spend entire afternoons lounging by the pool. When the sun gets too much, cool down with a swim before you retreat into the shade of the palms and lemon trees.

If you can tear yourself away, you'll find cafes, bodegas and a weekly Wednesday market in the nearby town of Villafranca de Bonany – it’s just a fifteen-minute drive. If you long for sand and surf, the beaches of south-eastern Mallorca are within easy reach too – the ever-popular Es Trenc is twenty-eight minutes away.
