340mThe finca

A house that reads the mountain.

The name comes from the rock. Ses fontanelles — the little springs — are the seeps and small sources that surface across this stretch of the Tramuntana, feeding the old terraces long before anyone thought to build here. The finca grew up around them: dry-stone walls, a cistern, almond and carob, and rooms with thick limestone shoulders that hold the cool of the morning into the afternoon.

Nothing about it is loud. The floors are worn smooth, the doors are heavy, and the light moves slowly across the courtyard. People come up here to walk, to read, to do very little with great seriousness — and to sleep with the windows open to the sound of goats' bells two ridges over.

312mThe rooms

Plotted across the terraces.

Each room sits at its own height on the hill — surveyed here by elevation, courtyard to ridge. No two open onto the same view.

  1. 300m

    The Courtyard Rooms

    Ground-level rooms off the shaded patio, thick-walled and dim at midday. The cool ones — doors open straight onto the old cistern and the lemon tree.

  2. 312m

    The Almond Room

    A first-floor room over the terrace wall, looking down the valley through the almond trees. Best in February, when the whole slope turns white.

    The Ridge Room

    The highest room in the house, tucked under the roof beams, with a small window that catches the bay of Andratx at the very edge of the sea.

0mThe bay

From the gate to the sea, by foot.

Andratx is the old market town below us; the Tramuntana spreads out behind. Most of it is reachable on the trails that start at the finca gate.

  • 2 km Andratx town Saturday market, stone lanes, the café under the church.
  • 5 km Port d'Andratx The harbour and the boats, a long lunch by the water, a swim.
  • 8 km Sant Elm & Sa Dragonera The far west cove, looking across to the dragon island reserve.
  • GR 221 The Dry-Stone Route The long Tramuntana trail passes close — full days on the ridges from the door.

340mThe table

Whatever the terraces give.

Breakfast is laid out long under the courtyard vine — bread from the town, the finca's own oil, almonds, tomato and fruit, coffee that keeps coming. It is the kind of breakfast that decides the shape of your day.

Tell us the night before and there will be a simple supper waiting after a long walk: one pot, a bottle of something local, and no need to drive back down the mountain in the dark.
