Son Ametler

Located in the foothills of the Tramuntana mountains, conveniently situated for the north and west coasts of Mallorca, Son Ametler is a country boutique hotel of impeccable taste. It is run by the same team from the award-winning Finca Es Castell so comfort and good service are assured.

Set among Almond, Fig and Lemon trees, Son Ametler is an exquisitely-restored 18^th century manor house where everything is “just so”. The huge gardens provide both privacy and a great place to relax and there is a large swimming pool there, bordered by elegant terraces. The 100 acre estate of woods and pasture provide fruit, herbs and vegetables for the hotel's own kitchen.

The interior is full of comfortable rustic beauty, enhanced by touches of modernity. There is an abundance of traditional wood and stone, offset by wrought iron furniture and super-modern quality bathroom fittings. The double bedrooms have air-conditioning and heating, a writing desk, a safe and television, DVD and fridge are available on request (though we can't think why anyone would want a television while holidaying in this beautiful place). Two of the rooms can be combined to make an independent family suite, and one is equipped with a ramp and wide doors for wheelchair access. Most of the bathrooms have a whirlpool bath and separate shower, with just one having a shower alone.

Guests are free to walk throughout the 100 acre estate, or may choose the travel a little further for walking or cycling in the Tramuntana mountains. The coast is about 25 minutes by car: head to the north coast for sandy beaches or the west for spectacular rocky coves and bays. The extensive finca isolates the hotel from neighbouring properties so it is very quiet. However the nearby villages are just a short hop by car.

Meals

The hotel offers a full buffet breakfast from 8 until 10:30am, which includes fresh fruit, home-made jams and yoghurts, freshly squeezed juices, a selection of breads and pastries, local hams and cheeses, eggs, bacon etc.

Dinner is served every day except Sunday on the terrace (weather permitting) and consists of a four course menu of typically Mediterranean delicacies produced using the highest quality ingredients sourced from the Finca itself or the local markets.

There is also a full service bar as well as a pool honesty bar for drinks and snacks throughout the day.

The local villages are well-blessed with restaurants for guests who prefer to eat out: just ask at reception for recommendations.
