The word 'finca' means farmhouse and this one was magnificently restored by a Mallorcan architect and designer in 2008 as the 18th-century building had hitherto sat abandoned. Finca Son Gener lies towards the north-east of the island and its understated beauty and decor are unmistakable. Mallorca is not a big island so it is not too far from many towns that guests may want to visit, and yet it is perfectly isolated, a haven of tranquility. It is certainly perfectly located for golf lovers, with no fewer than four courses within a 15-minute drive.
Guests can choose to relax in the swimming pool, in the sauna, or by taking an indulgent hammam treatment. The building's facade looks spectacularly appealing thanks to the marés stone walls, lending it a luminosity under the brilliant blue Balearic sky.
The ten rooms are all junior suites, giving the guests luxurious space, with an individual decor and a private terrace for each. They also have king-size beds, television, telephone, air con, wi-fi internet access and minibar.
The decor is simple and attractive without being 'minimal' and owes this to the architect's efforts and the owners' astute selection of furniture. Finca Son Gener has definitely been restored to retain its farmhouse looks, but with the sensibility of great design.
Meals
Dinner makes use of the finca's own organic vegetable garden, fresh fish direct from the Mallorcan waters, organic meat and eggs from the finca's own hens. The wine cellar houses a splendiferous choice of Mallorca's own wines.
