Apartment - Es Rafal Roig Es Arc, Manacor, Spain

Description

Historic estate on red soil, animal-loving farm, idyllic almond villa, comfortable and sociable agrotourism accommodation; it is clear that these descriptions apply to the red farm Es Rafal Roig with its main house made of natural stone and three small outbuildings. There are a whopping 350,000 square metres of flowers and greenery to discover, with many details that will delight young and old alike. There are cosy corners surrounded by cacti, palm trees, fragrant oleander and countless planted terracotta pots, water from its own deep well and solar energy, as well as guinea pigs, donkeys, chickens, geese and tortoises that have their own territory. While the adults relax by the 10 metre long, centrally located pool, the little ones can splash around in their own pool behind the stone wall, which is perfectly visible from the sun loungers. Playgrounds with large and small slides, sandpits and equipment for all kinds of ball games ensure there's never a dull moment, and you can also watch the farm at work. And chairs and tables are scattered everywhere in sunny and shady spots so that guests can have a picnic or chat. The small barbecue house, the original from the old days, can be used every day and shares space with the outdoor toilet and shower.

This is a Fincallorca holiday home.

Each holiday home has its own unique charm. The 45 m² Es Arc owes its name to the characteristic arch that decoratively divides the living area. Between the living/dining and sleeping areas, the interior is wonderfully cosy, while outside there are two terraces: you can choose between south-east and north-west! You can relax indoors after intensive hikes and time spent in the fresh air, either on the sofa or in the 1.5 x 2 metre bed that extends to the other side. You can easily prepare a small meal on the double-burner gas hob in the kitchenette next to the entrance. The bathroom, also designed in Mallorcan style, offers natural light and a shower tray. And if the living space of your private home is not enough for you, you should turn the entire property into your thriving outdoor living, dining and playroom.

What would Mallorca be without the almond blossom in spring and the famous almond cake! Es Rafal Roig is the perfect place to experience both, perhaps the owners will bake a family recipe for you one day. But even outside the almendras season, there are plenty of opportunities to experience and sample the island's specialities and delicacies. Manacor's historic city centre is not far away by car (take the Ma-3322 near the villa) to take a stroll through the pedestrian zone or the colourful market. From here you can also easily get to Palma by bus or train. On the other side, a good 15 kilometres away, the beaches await. Locals love Son Serra de Marina, the quietest part of the bay of Alcúdia. The almost two-kilometre-long sandy area in the direction of Colònia de Sant Pere offers enough sunny spots for everyone and favourable winds allow surfers to ride the waves gently. Hikers, on the other hand, can climb about 5 kilometres from Betlem to Ermita and enjoy the view of the sea.

This local holiday home is one of nine rental properties on the estate. They are called Es Blau, Es Verd, Es Graner, Es Galiner, Es Cestador, Es Nord, Es Nou and Es Saboal all bookable with Fincallorca.

A farm holiday with comfort. This historic, owner-run farm holiday property with its seven self-catering flats and two guest houses is particularly family-friendly. It has spacious communal facilities and a petting zoo. Es Rafal Roig is a true Mallorcan beauty dating back to the 12th century, overlooking the hills of the Serra de Llevant. Manacor, with its daily fruit and vegetable market, is only 9 km away. It is ideal for great shopping trips, sightseeing tours and eating out. Fantastic beaches and bathing spots, also for the little ones, can be found at the Badia dAlcúdia in the direction of Son Serra de Marina and Colònia de Sant Pere.
