Spending nearly €300 a night at a hotel creates certain expectations. You expect the fittings in the room not to be coming off the walls. You expect to be served wine in clean glasses. You expect some common courtesy from all the staff. You probably expect the food to be good too, and to have the freedom to go outside... More

We went to the Cases de Son Barbassa for the last few days of our honeymoon, and it was a disappointing end to our holiday. We booked the most expensive room through our travel agent, and only found out when we arrived that this room has no balcony or terrace; not the hotel's fault but still disappointing when we had...

The house is a very well restored farm house. The garden and the pool area is impressing. Modern and old fits together. Everything is in good shape. You can have your own privacy. Bed and bath is a four star standard. Staff is friendly and helpful. For our room reservation, it was complicated. It's difficult to find out what you... More

We stayed at Cases de Son Barbassa at the end of August 2011. The hotel has a lovely boutique feel to it with individual styling and service. The room we stay in was not big but ticked all our boxes, the bathroom was particularly nice. We had a large patio with the room which made up for its small size... More

We have just returned from Cases de son barbassa and i wish everday we were back there. We had exclusive hire of the venue for three days which included all 16 bedrooms (12 house and 4 in the new house villa - 5 min walk away) and held our wedding celebrations at the venue. The location is beautiful, the grounds... More

Well - to be honest I didn't quite know what to expect. I had seen some of the excellent reviews here - but I hadn't been to Mallorca and saw that the Cases Son Barbassa was less pricey than some of the other Fincas that I had tried and failed to book. Let me tell you - this haven of... More

Very calm location in the northeast of Mallorca close to Arta. Stylish yet rural, very nice staff at the Son Barbassa. Mostly couples, we seemed to be one of the few families. We had a junior suite which was nicely decorated, modern but also cosy. Great pool (water was pretty cold...) and pretty lounges / corners to relax, read a... More

We stayed at the Son Barbassa for two nights in October. The location is over the valley from Capdepera & a short drive from the lovely cove of Cala Mesquida. The building is a 17th centuary farm house with bags of character. The staff are friendly & helpfull. There is ample space for parking but be warned, the road leading... More

High expectations for this place, especially after it appeared in Sunday Times guide to 10 best locations in rural Mallorca. We joked about the paper saying it was ideal for 'fashionistas', but actually it's not at all pretentious in that way. Stunning location and beautiful buildings but many small things let it down. They need to strive for excellence here... More
