This was my second visit to Son Mercadal . Sometimes going back to a place is not always as good - but this time was even better. If you want a little piece if Spainish paradise , romance and sanctuary without the trappings of 'commercial holidays' then Son Mercadal is for you. I promise you won't be disappointed more

I first stayed at Son Mercadal with my partner last year and we had such a fantastic time that we came again this year, for a longer stay this time!! The hotel is beautiful; it has an old-world feeling to it and is so comfortable that you feel you are staying in someone's home, which you are, but it never... more

We just got back from a short trip to Mallorca. We booked at Son Mercadal with the intention of staying only one night, had seen Sawdays review but still didn't know if it would be our cup of tea. We landed in Palma airport at night and were starving, we called Son Mercadal to let them know we would be... more

We stayed here for two days as part of a cycling holiday. The interior of the hotel had the wow factor and the pool area was very relaxing. The host was very welcoming and the food was superb. We really enjoyed our stay and felt we were part of Mallorcan life. more

Everyone made our stay so special. This was our first time at Son Mercadal. We ate like kings on the best mallorcan food and been made welcome like family. This finca is very special but it is made extra special by the family who live + work there. We thank them for sharing their beautiful house in its idyllic setting. more

Peaceful and far removed from the hustle&bustle of those horrible "resorts". We just came back from this special charming place. We loved the way the decoration has brought history into the present. We felt very comfortable and would like to go back next year for longer. Excellent dinners and breakfasts. September 2008. more

Our stay here could not have been better. We first heard about the hotel in Special Places to Stay in Spain by Alastair Sawday and this really is a special place.
