Aerial view of La Casa de los Grandes among olive groves in Sencelles, Mallorca

Sencelles · Mallorca

The middle of the island, on purpose

20 minutes from the airport, 25 from Palma, 8 from the Binissalem wineries and 20 from the first cove: far enough from the coast to be quiet, close enough to reach it.

The village

Sencelles

A village of 3,000 people with a bakery, two bars, a church, and vineyards around it. It has not been arranged for visitors, which is why it works.

The house sits a few minutes outside it, at the end of a lane, with nothing in view but olives, fields and the Tramuntana on the horizon.

The black book

Beyond the finca

Every guest receives our black book: the restaurants we eat in ourselves, the places worth the drive, and itineraries for a day, a weekend or a week. It covers the village and the wineries, the coves and the mountains, and a full section on Palma. We send it before you arrive, so the first day is already planned.

Our journal has the longer versions: an itinerary with children, five cycling routes, the best hikes and a day in Palma.
