Authenticity

Agroturismo Sa Cova d'en Borino, located in Llucmajor, brings rustic Spanish charm to your stay in the idyllic setting of a converted farmhouse. The hotel provides rich character and authenticity reflected in its stone walls, exposed beams, and age-old artifacts reminiscent of its farming past.

Location

While it's nestled in a peaceful rural setting on the island of Mallorca, you're never too far from action, with the bustling town of Campos just a quick 15-minute drive away. A little farther along, you'll discover the pristine sands of Es Trenc Beach and the lively El Arenal Beach, making this the perfect base for your island getaway.

Rooms & Bathrooms

The rooms at Sa Cova d'en Borino are more like comfortable apartments, each thoughtfully designed to provide a homey atmosphere. Embracing its rustic charm, rooms feature full kitchens, cozy fireplaces, and garden views. Suites offer even more space, with the largest accommodating up to five people. The decor varies from room to room—some maintaining a classic farmhouse feel, while others have been updated for a more contemporary look. While the hotel may be small, with less than 10 apartments, it's perfectly suited for families or groups looking for a tranquil retreat.

Amenities

For those looking to soak up the Spanish sun, the hotel offers a seasonal outdoor pool overlooking the garden, complete with sun loungers and umbrellas on a nearby lawn. Since the property is only accessible for travelers with a car, there’s free on-site parking. Travelers with mobility needs should book ground-floor rooms, as the upper-floor apartments can only be accessed by stairs; however, the paths on the grounds are graveled, so wheelchair users may find this challenging to get about.

Family-Friendliness

The property is great for families with kids, as children of all ages are welcome, and those under 14 can stay for free if they use existing beds. Infant cribs can be requested for free, and additional beds can be provided for a fee.

There are some extra amenities for kids, like high chairs in the apartments and pool toys the kids can use.

Other Highlights
