Finca Serena

Rooms

The 25 bedrooms and suites (all doubles/twins) are divided between the farmhouse and a number of outbuildings in the grounds. Understated in their wabi-sabi elegance, and designed for comfort and relaxation, interiors feature white, dove grey and biscuit tones, and lovely natural materials: wood, stone, sisal, linen. Many rooms are flooded with natural light, and most have private terraces - scented with orange blossom in spring - that face the vineyards and hills.

Hand-made ceramics are dotted around, pool towels lie in wicker baskets, chunky rafters are painted white. Some have bathtubs in the bedrooms; all have rain showers. Luxuries range from feather pillows and handmade toiletries to coffee machines, Bluetooth speakers and daily turn-down service.

For added privacy, there's a cosy private villa for two located down a path lined with jacarandas - perfect for honeymooners. Measuring 110 sqm, it comes with its own garden, a veranda and views over hilltop Montuïri.

Features include:

• Bathrobes
• Hairdryer
• Minibar

Eating

Dining at Finca Serena is a very special experience. Those who have stayed speak of a menu of “delicious treats”, beautifully prepared and served with simple elegance.

Jacaranda restaurant is situated next to the garden, with lovely views from its panoramic picture windows, and a candlelit terrace for alfresco dining in warmer months. There's a farm-to-table focus and the daily-changing menus feature fresh, seasonal produce, much of which is sourced from the kitchen garden and orchards. What they cannot grow on their all-organic farm they buy from local producers. The surrounding vines are young so the wines are yet to come, but there are some excellent tipples from the local region on the wine list.

Breakfasts are fresh, colourful and exceptional. As well as breads, pastries and cakes, there are hot options like avocado on toast with sun-dried tomatoes, or buckwheat pancakes with maple syrup and strawberries (in season, of course!). As ever, the emphasis is on wholesome and fresh fare.
