    A stunning finca location in the heart of Mallorca away from the beaches and tourists surrounded by the hotel's vineyards and olive trees. A lovely large swimming pool is set in the centre of the property looking out across the beautiful countryside.

    Unfortunately for a four star property it just didn't hit the stars. We stayed in a suite which were all located in a separate block away from the property. All the suites were next to each other with their seating area in front of each cottage, which meant there was not much privacy as everyone walked past. Size wise the room was fine with it's own bedroom and living room, but it was void of any luxury. There was one picture hanging in the living room - the rest of the property bare white walls. No mini bar. No products to put in the bath. A kettle that would look happy in a Holiday Inn. It's the little things that matter ... the worse part of our stay was the restaurant. Breakfast was great, no grumbles, but lunch would have been better at Holiday Inn. For lunch it was burgers, pasta, pizza or salad. The pizzas and burgers were frozen, and the salad dressing from a bottle. Very disappointing. Dinner was better but certainly not to four star standard. One silver lining - their own white wine was very good. Finally, the reception staff: we only visited for three nights so came by taxi & planned two dinners in the local town Manacor to visit friends who live there. We asked if they could arrange taxis and they just shrugged saying it was very difficult to organise .. so we organised ourselves through our local friends. Overall: this should be a sensational property but it is not ......

    What a lovely place to spend a week in Mallorca. The hotel is set on a very large estate full of olive trees and surrounded by miles of countryside as far as the eye can see. The rooms are spacious and clean and everything works as it should. The pool is large and never too busy. It is not particularly deep at any point so good for families, and there was a lifeguard present during the day. The breakfasts are beautiful and the restaurant food is very good. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful and the whole place has a lovely peaceful vibe. I would really recommend this hotel as a lovely place to stay.

    Nothing really - it's about a 30 minute drive to the nearest beach so you will definitley need a car.

    Dear guest, Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review. We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the peaceful setting of our estate, surrounded by olive trees and countryside views. It’s great to know that you found the rooms spacious and comfortable. We truly appreciate your kind words about our friendly and helpful staff, as well as the charming atmosphere you experienced during your stay. We agree that having a car makes it easier to explore the island and reach the beaches. We truly hope to welcome you back for another enjoyable stay and hope you have a lovely end of summer and a wonderful rest of the year. Kind regards Sa Franquesa Nova

    The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The property felt cozy and peaceful, with a lovely, private atmosphere that made it easy to relax. Breakfast was especially nice, fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and served with kindness. It genuinely felt like a home away from home.

    Nothing major comes to mind. If anything, the secluded nature of the property might not suit those looking for a livelier or more central location, but for us, it was perfect.

    Hotel Sa Franquesa is pure serenity — a true slice of heaven on earth that I would return to in a heartbeat. From the very first moment, as you arrive at the long driveway, there’s a distinct feeling that something special awaits. And it truly does. We were warmly welcomed with a chilled glass of Cava and a personal tour of the entire property, where every corner felt thoughtfully curated — from the tranquil pool area and peaceful spa, to the inviting restaurant and, finally, our beautifully cool and impeccably clean room. Cleanliness is something I deeply value, and our room was a perfect 10/10. Every amenity was in place, with complimentary bottles of water waiting for us — a thoughtful touch, especially on a hot day. Just outside the door, a lush green oasis stretched out — I spent over an hour simply wandering among the palms, soaking in the peaceful atmosphere of the resort and the pool area. Absolute bliss. What truly elevated the experience was the exceptional service. From breakfast to lunch, snacks and drinks by the pool, to an unforgettable dinner featuring sea bass baked in salt and a majestic paella — every detail was delivered with care and precision. The staff are wonderfully trained, genuinely kind, and made us feel like part of one big family. In short, I absolutely loved it — so much so that words don’t quite do it justice.

    One small suggestion regarding the restaurant hours on Sundays — since the majority of guests (myself included) are here to fully relax and enjoy both lunch and dinner on-site, it would be wonderful to have the option of a meal service available throughout the day.

    Property response:

    Dear Guest, Thank you so much for such a heartfelt and detailed review! We're truly touched by your words and thrilled to hear that your experience at Sa Franquesa was so special from the very first moment. It means a lot to know you felt the serenity and care we aim to offer in every corner of the property, from the peaceful pool and spa to the cozy restaurant and your spotless, comfortable room. We’re especially happy that you appreciated the little details, like the welcome drink, complimentary water, and the beauty of the gardens. Knowing you found pure happiness simply walking among the palm trees makes us smile. Your kind words about our team mean the world to us we work hard to make each guest feel genuinely welcome and at home, and it’s incredibly rewarding to hear that you felt like part of our family. Thank you also for your thoughtful suggestion regarding Sunday meal service. We completely understand how important it is to enjoy the full experience of relaxation, and we’ll certainly take your feedback into consideration as we look at how we can improve. We truly hope to welcome you back. We wish you a nice summer. Kind regards Sa Franquesa Nova

    Great breakfast with plenty of options, including fresh orange juice. It would be even better with some ice for the juice — I didn’t want to ask. The staff was amazing! Mark was especially helpful and gave us lots of great tips. The place is magical, with stunning views. The welcome drink was a lovely touch to start our stay. The room was spacious and very comfortable. The property is full of flowers and fruit trees, and there are also bikes available for guests. We really enjoyed our stay! As for the location, it’s perfect if you’re planning to visit the nearby villages, but it can be a bit far from the beaches.

    We liked and enjoy everything. but, our food choices at the restaurant weren’t great. The sangria had star anise, which gave it a taste we didn’t enjoy. Also, I found it a bit strange to be served shrimp with the head and shell still on — it was messy and not easy to eat. But from what I saw, that seems to be a common way of serving shrimp in Mallorca. but the serves were amazing.
