I recently stayed at Finca Son Jorbo with a friend in the "Mar" apartment. The location of the finca is perfect. Situated 5 minutes driving or 20 minutes walking outside the village of Porreres means that you're totally secluded but also have easy access to everything you need. Although the finca is not coastal, I found myself visiting more beaches and coves than I usually do when visiting Mallorca, because there were so many that I could reach in just 20 minutes by car. The finca has free parking for guests and renting a car is definitely the way to go when visiting Mallorca if you want to see all that island has to offer. Returning to the finca each evening after a full day of exploring was always a treat. The location is also easy accessible from the airport. The grounds are beautiful and feel more like a home than a hotel. The gardens are filled with beautiful flowering plants. The 300 olive trees on the grounds are a Spanish dream. The apartment we rented was clean, had everything we needed (bathroom towels, beach towels, body wash, a fully functional kitchenette) and a few things we didn't NEED, but loved (a locally woven beach tote, a canvas hammock). The pool is beautiful and sunny all day long, but we didn't spend much time there is so much to do in the surrounding towns and coast nearby the finca. The hosts, Tina and Markus, are excellent. The attention and care that they bring to each and every interaction with guests was so welcoming. The breakfast that they prepare each morning is amazing: homemade jams; local fruits, vegetables, and cheeses; and freshly-squeezed OJ. They were also proactive about giving us recommendations about the best things to do and see on the island. I also loved that Tina and Markus featured the products of businesses and local artists, like Mallorcan wines and handmade ceramics, for sale in the common spaces. I loved my stay here and am already dreaming about the next time I'll be able to go! If you're into supporting small, local, family-run businesses that are committed to maintaining local charm, don't think twice about Son Jorbo! --free still and sparkling water --free parking --reliable WiFi --small market with snacks/beverages to purchase --private entry to each apartment --equipped kitchens
