Apartment - Es Rafal Roig Es Verd, Manacor, Spain

Description

Historic estate on red soil, animal-loving farm, idyllic almond tree villa, comfortable and sociable agroturismo 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 lush 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 the farm's own deep well, solar energy and guinea pigs, donkeys, chickens, geese and tortoises living in their own territory. While the grown-ups relax by the 10 metre long, centrally located pool, the little ones can splash around in their own pool behind the stone wall, which you can keep a wonderful eye on 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 farming. Chairs and tables are scattered everywhere in sunny and shady spots where guests can have a picnic or chat. The small barbecue hut, an original from the old days, can be used every day and shares the space with the outdoor toilet and shower.

Each unit has its own unique charm. The ground floor flat Es Verd lives up to its name: shades of green wherever you look, bringing cheerfulness! Functionality and comfort take centre stage here and you have your own terrace for private outdoor time. From there, you can access the two bedrooms, each equipped with a 1.8 x 2 cm bed and awaiting the deep sleep of the Es Verd residents. The windows can be darkened with shutters. The sofa in the living room invites you to relax after long hours in the sun. You can eat together at the table, play a game or write a postcard - your friends at home are sure to be delighted! You are perfectly equipped to prepare your meals and spend a completely independent holiday here; the integrated kitchenette has 4 gas hobs, a fridge, a sink, a coffee machine, etc. The bathroom, also designed in Mallorcan style, offers natural light and a shower tray as well as an eye-catching antique washbasin, which can provide a special place to store cosmetics and jewellery. And if 80 m² of living space isn't enough for you, why not 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 some for you using their family recipe. But even outside the almendras season, there are plenty of opportunities to experience and taste the island's specialities and delicacies. By car (with the Ma-3322 near the villa) it is not far to reach Manacor's historic city centre, take a stroll through the pedestrian zone or the colourful market. From here you can also take a stress-free bus or train to Palma. On the other side, a good 15 kilometres away, the beaches await. Locals like Son Serra de Marina, the quietest place in the entire 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 Graner, Es Galiner, Es Arc, Es Cestador, Es Nord, Es Nou and Es Saboal and can all be booked with Fincallorca. Farm holidays with comfort.
