Fodor's Expert Review Sant Joan de Binissaida
Camí de Binissaida 108, Es Castell, Balearic Islands, 07720, Spain
An avenue lined with chinaberry and fig trees leads to this lovely restored farmhouse with environmental credentials, including some solar power and organic produce from the farm. Inside, it has retained many old features—a wonderful upstairs suite has an oratory—and a row of adjoining stables has been converted to additional accommodation with individual terraces. The family proprietors are opera aficionados, so all rooms are named after composers. On the first floor, public spaces feel calm and relaxing thanks to modern blond-wood furnishings, while the excellent restaurant (also open to the public) serves meals on the deck in good weather: reserve ahead.
