Michelin
Occupying a building that has been attractively restored and extended and now offers an extensive choice of rooms and apartments.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Mercadal's streets surround the property, and the Pont de Pedra crosses into the medieval Old Town two minutes away.
The rooms
Selected suites open onto private terraces overlooking the garden, with quiet views down to the pool.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Sun loungers line the outdoor pool in the central courtyard, sheltered by ivy-covered stone walls.
Garden Bar and Lounge
The bar serves drinks and light fare, opening onto the garden terrace through arched glass doors.
At the table
Breakfast is served in a bright dining room lined with botanical wallpaper, looking straight onto the courtyard.
How it began
Surgeon Josep Maria Massa was born here in 1901. He fled into exile during the Civil War, but his family kept the house.
