The Romantik Hotel Cases de Son Barbassa is located in the north-eastern part of Mallorca on a large finca, planted with almond, olive and carob trees. Originally a defence structure from the 16th century it combines today rustic and modern elements harmoniously. Thanks to the hillside situation guests enjoy a gorgeous panoramic view of the Cala Mesquida bay. The menu at the restaurant is inspired by the Mediterranean, the products originate from own cultivation or the local market. The home-made olive oil with its intensive aroma plays a central role.

At the heart of the Sierra de Tramontana the Romantik Hotel S'Olivaret is to be found on a 75 hectare estate. A 200 year old oil press, already in 1888 producing oil that caused a sensation at the world exhibition, is at the centre of the finca. The guestrooms are decorated with high-quality antiques and the modern cuisine of the restaurant is based on traditional recipes. For more information check out http://www.romantikhotels.com/Alaro.
