A stone finca in the Tramuntana, plotted by altitude.

High over the bay of Andratx, where the little springs surface in the rock. A working farmhouse and a walkers' refuge — read here the way a surveyor reads a hillside: bottom of the page to top, by height.

340mThe finca

A house that reads the mountain.

An upstairs sitting room with cream leather sofas, exposed stone walls and beamed ceiling, a painting of Palma cathedral above.
The upstairs sitting room — stone walls, beams, the cool kept in.

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.

Inside the old walls.

Rooms furnished the way a family farmhouse is furnished — carved wood, painted tiles, a fireplace that earns its keep in winter. Nothing staged; everything used.

The formal dining room: a long wooden table and carved high-back chairs against an exposed stone wall hung with paintings.

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. A ground-floor room with an ornate wrought-iron headboard, a floral spread and a glazed display cabinet.
    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.

    Double · ensuite · shaded patio

  2. A whitewashed bedroom with a spiral-column four-poster bed and a patterned bench at its foot.
    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.

    Double · ensuite · valley view

  3. A bedroom with a sage-green wall, a carved four-poster bed, a glass chandelier and a shuttered window onto the garden.
    328m

    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.

    Double · ensuite · sea glimpse

  4. A bedroom with thick limewashed stone walls, twin brass lamps and a carved dark-wood headboard.

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.

A table laid with bread and wine on the terrace edge, looking down the dry valley to a thin band of open sea between two mountains.
The reward of the walk — the sea, held between two ridges.
  • 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.
