Finca Ses Rotetes

Just returned last night from staying at this amazing agritorismo. We stayed in the three bedroom apartment, which comprises almost the whole bottom half of the building, with a beautiful living room, kitchen, dining room, and two full bathrooms. The finca/agriturisom is located just outside or Porto Cristo, a beautiful touristy town on the eastern shores of Mallorca. We came for the deep water soloing (climbing) famous in Mallorca, and the location is perfect. We've stayed before in Cala Millor, and I almost booked a hotel on a beach, but I much prefer staying at a place where you can truly relax, meet the locals, learn a little history of the island, and get away from the tourist traps. The grounds are stunning. The garden area is huge, with orange, plum, and lemon trees all around (and all very ripe and delcious and free for the taking), as well as olive trees, figs, and a ton of vegetables. We travelled with 2 friends and our 4 year old and 1 year old. The highlight for our kids was the turtles! There were no less than 20 hanging around the property every day that we'd round up and watch. Oh, and the wonderful pool with beach toys and a kids slide plus a tennis court. We had the most magnificant dinner our last night at the place and Antonio brought us out his delicous red wine grown from his own vineyards. Perfect way to end our stay. I only wish we had eaten every meal at the house. If you come, you will need to have a rental car, because you are a few km from town. The only bad thing I can mention are the beds. Not the most comfortable for sleeping, but then again, almost everywhere I have stayed in Spain is like that. Clean, beautifully decorated, peaceful, amazing garden/orchard and food, and wonderful hosts make the place truly the best place to stay in Mallorca.
