The rooms
Bedrooms follow the building's angled footprint, with private bathrooms framed in solid Flanders pine and original parquet underfoot.
At the table
Breakfast is served under the basement's vaulted marès stone arches, with organic island produce laid out across communal tables.
How it began
Privateer captain Joan Roca i Vinent built the townhouse in 1790, penning his half-century chronicle of Mahón from within.
