My friend and I had a really lovely time in Mallorca we both rate this Hotel very highly 5 for everything you have listed, in particular the bed was very comfortable.  More importantly the staff were very helpful and we can’t find fault with anything.

We would definitely book another trip.

If I had to be pushed to give a negative some of the furniture was a bit uncomfortable and tired, one section of the sofa had a big dip on one end and the patio table was rusty the cushions thin.

However none of the above comments spoilt our holiday and are purely meant for constructive criticism only.

The pool was refreshing and the garden and surrounding areas did not disappoint.

Kind regards 

We had a fantastic time , many thanks. Please see below:

The garden and pool were just excellent and the views of the town and Soller valley captivating.

Thanks Henrik, we had a wonderful time. The weather was perfect and we couldn't have enjoyed it any more. The car was superb and collection and drop off was spot on. Thank you for getting that organised for us.

Would you recommend the hotel to a friend? - 100% we can't wait to go back

Would you like to write a couple of general sentences about your stay? - The hotel was easy find and perfectly located just outside of the main square so lovely and quiet in the evening. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly without being overbearing. The breakfasts were simple but very tasty and the perfect amount of choice for a 3 night stay. Wonderful walks directly from the hotel and tonnes of choice for food throughout the day. Looking forward to going back already.

Thanks

Hi Henrik,

Well we managed the full holiday which I wasn’t expecting but thrilled we did.

Can Verdera 5 star throughout.

It’s changed ownership since our last stay but still maintained the high standards we remember.

Breakfast was excellent, lots of choice some different to the usual and the ones we tried were all delicious.

Lovely staff again.

The setting is amazing, we never tire of that view and there are various seating areas to admire it from on the terraced gardens. Lovely to have an evening drink on the top terrace too.

Our late booking meant we got the last room available for our dates and it was facing on to the street. I had reservations but the room was a great size with large bathroom and no disturbance from outside. The windows have a treatment on them which prevents passers by seeing in.

 There was some noise from the room above and in the morning when people were having breakfast inside due to cooler weather but it really wasn’t a problem.

Son Ametler was 5 star throughout. 

Apart from having to change room after 2 days everything else was fantastic. 

The 4 course dinner served in the evening was a highlight, every meal and every course a total delight. The hotels own rose wine was so good we didn’t even try the white or red! I’m sure they were equally as good - next time!

The well stocked honesty bar and cake in the afternoon, another great touch.

The setting is so relaxing and the pool area and garden with so many different places to sit was perfect, just what we needed for a few days to wind down after a stressful year.

All the staff without exception were lovely and we would definitely recommend the hotel for anyone wanting peace and quiet with excellent food and friendly faces.

There were lots of cyclists on the very quiet roads and it’s made us think we might return for a cycling holiday safe in the knowledge of a great meal with excellent wine at the end of the day!

Thank you for your patience and understanding during the booking process, we really did appreciate it.

Very best wishes

I have nothing but good things to say about Can Verdera, and would rate the five things that you list below all as 5, the best rating.  I would certainly recommend it. 

The staff were fantastic, friendly and helpful. The pool area was spotlessly clean, as was everywhere else. The extra details such as pool towels for use during our stay were really appreciated. The purpose of our trip was to relax and we were able to do exactly that. 

My daughter is very fussy regarding pillows but she couldn’t fault those provided and we slept very well.

The food though quite simple was beautifully presented and very tasty. 

I hope that I will be able to return, either with my husband or daughter, sometime in the future.

Best wishes

We had a lovely holiday thank you. 

Can Verdera : 

Service: 5
Food: 5 for breakfast
Cleanliness:  5
Value for money: 4 - quite expensive but a real treat
Sleep quality:  5 

We loved Fornalutx . We ate in 5 different restaurants and had 5 really lovely meals . There was a good buzz without being overcrowded. A village with lots of character and beautiful surroundings.

Sa Galera:

Service: 5 for Maria
Food: 4 for breakfast . 3 for meal
Cleanliness: 4 ( our bathroom had a bad smell but I think it came from the pipes or sewers )
Value for money: 4
Sleep quality: 5 

Definitely need a car.

Restaurant only open from Thursday - Sunday and booking is essential - they turned away guests of the hotel who had just checked in but hadn’t booked a table  , even though there were only a few diners!! Santanyi had a festival on last week so we ate there most nights as there was plenty of choice of restaurants.

We were happy with both choices of hotel .

We would stay at Can verdera again as there is more we would like to see in that area.

Hope that’s helpful.

This was the first hotel we stayed in and was very nice. Fornalutx is a beautiful village with lots of great places to eat and drink. The pool was great and the hotel was lovely, quiet and peaceful. Breakfasts were delicious and very nicely presented. 

Service: 3.5 (nothing available after 9pm, which was a shame)

Food: 5 (only breakfast)

So good to see Hotel Caan Verdera open again after a two-year break. The new owners and staff are wonderful and have reinforced our opinion that this lovely hotel is our favorite holiday destination.

We had a wonderful time, loved the hotel and the location. Would rate it 5 across the board.

It was the perfect place for a long weekend to unwind and de stress. Beautiful scenery, and town, tranquil but with just the right level of buzz. 

We would definitely go again.

Thank you for your assistance with the arrangements.

The spacious grounds are impeccable maintained and the Pool sparkling clean – pool towels and Robes excellent.

The bed linen and comfort levels are possibly the best we have ever come across in travels over 50+ years.

Hi Henrik

Thank you for arranging our stay at Can Verdera in Fornalutx. It is a charming hotel in a really beautiful place and we felt lucky to be there. The location is perfect, right in the village and with the garden/pool area with its stunning views. We didn't eat there, so I can't comment on the food. Cleanliness: 5/5. Sleep quality: the bed was extremely comfortable. Service: the staff were friendly and helpful. 

Many thanks for everything, including your guide to Mallorca which we found extremely useful. We will be in touch when we go back!

Kind regards

We had a great time there and would be happy to return. I must emphasise how much we enjoyed our stay at Can Verdera, the staff were most friendly and we loved Fornalutx. It might be advised that they remind guests that parking is an issue in the form of an email prior to arrival. If one has heavy bags this could be an issue with older guests having to park and then get all their luggage to the hotel. It is a pity that they have to charge for the parking!I think that there should be more washing products available for example hair conditioner.

Hi Henrik, Another great place you sent us to, you certainly have an eye for special places: Son Mas, Torelbenc, Son Grec and now Can Verdera……. Very happy to tell you about Can Verdera, a very special place. We had a very lovely, peaceful time, we were looked after extremely well and will definitely be returning. My sister Kate and I think Can Vedera has just become our special retreat each year, we totally loved everything about it, the location, discreet friendly service, the style and definitely want to return, hoping it doesn’t change too much! Warmest

Dear Henrik, Our stay at Can Verdera was lovely. We stayed here two years ago so knew what to expect. We had one of the garden terrace rooms which we would definitely recommend, having a nice outside seating area made all the difference. I think lots of people visiting Fornalutz probably are walking or cycling but we just like to chill out. It is so peaceful sat at the side of the pool. The hotel is so clean and tidy and the staff are lovely. Nothing is too much trouble. Being able to walk to the local restaurants is a plus. Just a short flight from Manchester and taxi ride and it’s another world. Thanks again for all your help. Regards 

Hello Henrik, It seems a long time ago. We, unfortunately had pretty dreadful weather.  My one previous visit had been at roughly the same time and it rained. In terms of rating it is all more or less a 5.  I thought your hotel suggestions were excellent and in Can Verdera we were well placed to find things to do in either direction, including Palma of course, which is good in bad weather.  I thought Anna and Bea and also a William were really professional but relaxed too.  A nice balance between being very efficient but friendly. For us the hotel was at the top end of our usual budget and I would have loved to spend time in the garden and around the pool and if this had been the case I think it would have great value for money, because it was really beautiful.  I would recommend you and the particular hotel to friends.  Just for your information it was quite a climb from the car park for me, but generally I got out of the car in the village square and walked along to the hotel. If you want a couple of sentences for a quote I would say something like: Can Verdera is a small hotel created from 3 village houses in a stunning village.  The 3 levels give you a top garden with beautiful views, a pool and garden area in the middle and a cool and calm patio at ground level.  The common areas in the hotel were stylish with excellent art work and included a small bar.  Our room was elegant with attractive furnishings and with a large bathroom.  The staff were professional, helpful but also relaxed.  I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending it. Henrik I would quite like to go back to Mallorca.  We didn't really go east of Puerto Pollenca and would  possibly like to go to the north somewhere.  We both enjoy swimming, so are not averse to a seaside town, but not a large resort.  Is there something like Puerto Pollenca with a good hinterland, I could do a bit of research on. Yours

Hi Henrik, Just back from sunny Mallorca ( only two wet days) and thought you might like a bit of feedback on our stay. We really enjoyed  Fornalutx and thought it and the whole. area was beautiful. Did some walking in the mountains and drove on the hairiest road ever down to Cala de sa Calobra and Cala Tuent! We were very pleased with Can Verdera, a lovely hotel and very helpful staff. If we had any criticism it was that the breakfasts, although very nice, got a bit boring after a week and to charge extra for cooked items in a hotel costing this much we thought was a bit mean. Thanks again for your recommendations and hopefully we may well be back to Mallorca again in the future. 

This is the most beautiful place! Thank you. Already planning another visit!!

Dear Henrik, Thanks for your email. My apologies for the delayed response. We had a great holiday in Majorca.  Here is our feedback for the two hotels: Can Verdera: Fantastic position, beautifully kept grounds and interesting decor. On the downside, we had not realised there was no parking at the hotel. Service: 4, Food: 4, Cleanliness: 5, Value for money: 4, Sleep quality: 5 Would you recommend the hotel to a friend? Yes. Cas Sant: The patio/courtyard and the two pool areas were lovely, but other parts of the grounds needed tidying up. The availability of a light lunch was a masterstroke and the staff’s local restaurant recommendations were first class.  The walking distance from the centre of the town was perfect. Service: 5, Food: 5, Cleanliness: 5, Value for money: 4, Sleep quality: 5, Would you recommend the hotel to a friend? Yes. 

Hi Henrik, We had a wonderful stay at Can Verdera...it was perfect! We were so pleased with the hotel...and would score them a 5 in every category. The breakfast was simple but we particularly enjoyed the fresh fruit and the pastries and it set us up nicely for the day ahead. The staff were brilliant and went above and beyond to help us out...stored our bikes which we had hired without any grumbling and let us use the shower on our last day after we had been out cycling for the day.  We will definitely go back to Mallorca in the future and would definitely recommend Can Verdera to anyone looking for a walking or cycling holiday in the Tramuntana mountains. Warmest regards

Dear Henrik, We had a really lovely holiday, beautiful island and wonderful hotel.  So glad you suggested Fornalutx over Pollensa it was just what we were looking for. Fell in love with the island and will definitely be back!

Hi Henrik, We had a lovely stay in Mallorca in the village of Fornalutx, it's a lovely village with lots of character a good choice of restaurants and a couple of bars. There is a bus that takes you into Sollair is just 2mins down the road from the hotel. The hotel Can Verdera is really nice very friendly and helpful staff and sitting out for breakfast in the courtyard is a joy.

Dear Henrik, We would highly recommend the hotel in terms of service, sleep quality, value for money and friendliness. One point we felt breakfast was lower quality than we have experienced before. Thank you for facilitating our stay, we had a lovely time. Regards

Hi Henrik, The hotel was beautifully situated and tastefully decorated. I thought there would be more to do in the village (more restaurants, shops, bars) but it was beautiful and relaxing nonetheless. The service we received was discreet and personal with absolutely no complaint. The rooms were quite stark with not a lot of home comforts, the bed linen for example was very basic and didn’t feel particularly luxurious and comforting.

See answers below. We absolutely love it there. The only thing is that they have an amazing bar area which closes too early in the evening and wasn't open at all on Sunday.  So we weren't able to use it as much as we wanted to.

Hi Henrik, We had a great holiday thank you. We  thought the Can Verdera a delightful hotel. We are very pleased to have stayed there and would go again. The hotel is small and very pleasant  and as you said Fornalutx is a pretty village. The beds are comfortable and the rooms well furnished. The staff are terrific … nothing is too much trouble for them. Yes we would certainly recommend it to friends. Service: 5. Food: 5. Cleanliness: 5. Value for money: 4/5 no real comparison. Sleep quality: 5. Best regards

Dear Henrik, I know you wrote asking for feedback following the holiday you arranged for us and it was remiss of me not to reply. It’s been a hectic year with my ancient mother taking up a lot of time, and then a little granddaughter arrived in the summer. But we had a great time in Mallorca and the weather was lovely.   Both hotels and destinations were good but our room at Banyalbufar was disappointing but the fab food made up for it!      We LOVED the hotel at Furnalutx and will return. Thank you for all your help and I hope you’ve had a good and successful year. With kind regards

Hi Henrik, We had a fabulous stay at the can verdera.   On arriving we were made to feel very welcome.   We arrived early and (as I'd email them in advance) our room was ready.   The room didn't disappoint, even tho it was street facing room the views of the Mallorcan flowers, quaint streets and the early morning sunrise was lovely. The service from staff was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. We had (continental) breakfast which was more than enough with lots of choices and fresh fruit and freshly squeezed orange juice. The can verdera gardens are delightful, very picturesque with views of the mountains whilst being totally private.   Around the pool were orange and lemon trees, comfortable sun lounges always enough room for all guest without feeling over crowded. The village is beautiful and very relaxing, restaurants to suit all budgets and access to some Superb mountain walks.   However, we had having a heat wave during our stay in June so we opted to laze around the pool, the village and spectacular drives up in the mountains.... Service 5, Food 5, Cleanliness 5, Sleep 5, Value for money 5, Highly recommended 5. Regards

We had a lovely stay in this beautiful boutique hotel. The service was excellent 5 food 5/ cleanliness 5/ value 5/ sleep 3 noisy room but would book different one next time I would recommend it to friends. Really lovely place will return. Many thanks

Hi Henrik, Many thanks for helping with the booking.  We thought the hotel, Fornalutx and the surrounding area were all lovely.  We had planned to do quite a bit of walking so it was ideal. I’m sure we will return at some point. Thanks again.  Comments below. How would you rate the following from 1-5 where 5 is the best rating: Service: 5 Food: 5 Cleanliness: 5 Value for money: 5 Sleep quality: 5 Would you recommend the hotel to a friend? Yes. Would you like to write a couple of general sentences about your stay? The hotel was lovely.  Although the building is traditional the rooms are spacious, comfortably furnished and well equipped. The hotel manager, Anna, was exceptionally helpful – she is very friendly and clearly enjoys sharing her local knowledge to ensure her guests have the best stay possible.  We had the junior suite which was particularly spacious.

Hi Henrik, The hotel was in a fantastic location and a perfect recommendation as it enabled us to do lots of walking and exploring and we managed without a car!   It is a beautiful setting with amazing views. In terms of the ratings 5 for cleanliness, value for money and sleep quality. Our biggest disappointment was the rooftop bar which was run very badly by an unfriendly member of staff who just sat on her phone. It's a shame as it did let the hotel down.  Breakfast was simple but excellent.  Thanks for the recommendation we will definitely use you again... Best

Hi Henrik, Yes all went well and the Triathlon in Peguera went smoothly despite the rough seas for the swim. Many thanks for the bottle of Cava that was a lovely thought! Ratings below fpr both hotels… How would you rate the following from 1-5 where 5 is the best rating: Can Verdera Service: 5, Food: 4, Cleanliness: 5, Value for money: 5, Sleep quality:5 How would you rate the following from 1-5 where 5 is the best rating: Can Simoneta Service: 5, Food: 5, Cleanliness: 5, Value for money: 4, Sleep quality: 3. The new rooms have poorly fitting and light weight doors (always been the same) and any noise in reception or common areas passes through to rooms very easily. The speed of response and quality of advice and suggestions was up to Henrik's very high standards. Another terrific week of great hotels, stunning food and fun training!  Cheers

Hi Henrik, It was all perfect and we wish we could do it all over again! We loved Can Verdera – what  a gem of a find! Peaceful, quiet and very well sited for exploring other parts of the island. We loved the mountains, the pebbly beaches that were only 30/40 minutes drive away - and plenty of delicious restaurants to eat in Fornalutx if you don’t want to travel at night.  And just a very happy little town – full of charming, smiling people – LOVED it all and will definitely return.  I was raving about the hotel and your wonderful help, and my friends Emma and Michael Lines I think contacted you and are staying there NOW – so how is that for a recommendation !  And we loved Mallorca generally and can’t think why we haven’t been before ! Will definitely go back. Hotel perfect in every respect and Anna particularly helpful with all her recommendations and places to eat and see. Breakfasts delicious and we loved the roof top terrace seeing the setting sun. Thank you again for all your efforts on our behalf – excellent service you give and will definitely recommend you to others (have already done so as you know!) and we’ll be back! Service: 4, Food: 5, Cleanliness: 5, Value for money: 5, Sleep quality:4. Best wishes

Hi Henrik,  Overall we had a really time and so loved Mallorca. A few comments in terms of the hotel which I hope will be considered as constructive as opposed to criticism.  The hotel's location is exceptional and the village and views are so beautiful. However, we felt a bit let down by lack of friendly staff at reception. Our welcome in particular wasn't quite what we would expect from a hotel of that quality nor was the breakfast or the service at the bar.  The wifi didn't reach the and the pool was often crowded; there weren't enough sunloungers to cater for all guests. I have to add though that none of the above was serious enough to detract from a lovely holiday and we would still recommend the hotel to friends.  I will definitely consider using your services again, you were great!  How would you rate the following from 1-5 where 5 is the best rating: Service: 2, Food: 2, Cleanliness: 5, Value for money: 4, Sleep quality: 5. Would you recommend the hotel to a friend? Yes. Kind regards 

Dear Henrik, We had a wonderful holiday at Can Verdera! What a fabulous little hotel in such a pretty village! Very happy to give feedback on the hotel but first of all we would like to say how impressed we have been again with the prompt service you have provided in finding great holiday accommodation for us at such short notice!  Service:- 5  Excellent service from the minute we walked into the hotel, extremely warm and friendly staff who bent over backwards to help you and make sure you had an excellent holiday! Food:- 4  We only had breakfast in the hotel but lovely continental breakfast served at our table in a very pretty inner courtyard. Whilst breakfast was always fresh and tasty it didn't vary much from day to day. Cleanliness:- 5  Excellent! Our room was very clean and the rest of the hotel was always very well maintained and spotlessly clean. Value for money:-  5  Excellent value for money! Our room with the terrace was spacious and had wonderful views of the mountains. Lovely garden areas and smart pool area and swimming pool. Sleep quality:- 5 First class! One of the comfiest beds I have slept in on holiday! King size bed with lovely firm mattress and fab pillows! Our bed was turned down each night too! I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel to a friend. Another overwhelming success! The village of Fornalutx has a stunning location and certainly lived up to the description you gave us! We would certainly return to Can Verdera, it is without a doubt a little jewel within Fornalutx. The hotel has a beautiful contemporay touch to it whist still being a beautiful old Mallorcan building. The staff from Anna to all the support staff create a real warm and relaxing atmosphere in the hotel. Many thanks again Henrik for all your help and advice in organising our rather last minute holiday. Kind regards

Hi Henrik, Yes, we had a lovely holiday thanks. Fornalutx was beautiful and Hotel Can Verdera was wonderful. A quiet, small but stylish hotel, with very comfortable beds, beautiful gardens and a delightful swimming pool. The bedrooms are air conditioned which is a godsend in the high Mallorcan temperatures in the summer. The staff were very friendly and helpful, but one has to realise that as a small hotel, staff at not always to hand, so to speak. Would I recommend the hotel? Unquestionably, although the access to the hotel is up a steep road so not suitable for the infirm. For people who want to get away from it all in a quiet oasis of calm. In terms of scores: Service: 4, Food: n/a, Cleanliness: 5, Value for money: 4, Sleep quality: 5. We’ll certainly keep you in mind should be go back to the Balearics. Home business is good.

Dear Henrik, Apologies for the delay in getting back to you. We had a wonderful holiday in Fornalutx and would rate Can Verdera as shown below. We have already recommended the hotel to a number of friends and family and are looking forward to a return visit ourselves. Can Verdera is a peaceful and tranquil hotel and we fully relaxed while we stayed. The other guests were very friendly and it sometimes felt like coming down to breakfast to meet with family- in a good way! We stayed for a week and did something different everyday- walking to Soller, tram to Port de Soller, ,train to Palma, Soller market, driving to Deia and Cala Deia . We came back to the hotel by 4om every afternoon to spend a few hours by the pool in the sunshine then went out for dinner in the various village restaurants in the evening- after a drink in the hotel bar (very reasonably priced) with a spectacular view- not to be missed. WE look forward to a return visit. How would you rate the following from 1-5 where 5 is the best rating: Service: 5- nothing was too much trouble and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Food: 4- food was very good quality and very enjoyable but it would have been nice to have a little variety for breakfast, Cleanliness: 5- spotlessly clean. Value for money: 4. Sleep quality:5 –slept for 8-9 hours a night, like a peaceful baby.  Kind regards,

Hi Henrik, Thank you for your email - I have been meaning to contact you so am glad you reminded me! Firstly thank you SO much for helping source our hotels in Mallorca,  we love the island and will definitely go back, hopefully in February for my birthday to visit Palma for a few days. Please find below our feedback on each hotel. We enjoyed our stays in both hotels immensely but definitely preferred Can Verdera to be honest for the reasons specified below. Thanks again for all your help and look forward to speaking again next time we go to the island! Can Verdera: Service:  5/5 – staff were very friendly, helpful, and we were upgraded which was a real treat. Food: 5/5  breakfast served in a lovely terrace with a water feature, very relaxing,  lovely fresh food  and  plenty of it. Some people didn’t like having to pay extra for eggs etc, but it didn’t bother us at all. Cleanliness:  5/5  very clean and nice turn down service when the bathroom was also tidied up. Value for money: 5/5. Sleep quality: 5/5 – we slept like babies! Would you recommend the hotel to a friend?  Absolutely, the pool area was very nice and ditto the bar overlooking the valley. Would you like to write a couple of general sentences about your stay?  We loved the village and the hotel, of course the unexpected upgrade definitely helped but we wouldn’t hesitate to go back next year!  Kind regards

Hi Henrik, Brilliant weekend in Mallorca – now it’s back to the rain!  Many thanks,

Dear Henrik, First let me thank you for helping with decision making and securing our bookings so effortlessly.  The Can Verdera was a beautiful hotel and our room was gorgeous. The location was perfect and the setting glorious. As you asked, there were some issues..... Neither of us are the types who need service but it seemed there wasn't anyone ever around in reception and when eventually someone appeared she was grumpy with us, unhelpful and we were never made to feel welcome. It might be the Mallorcan way! I always continued to be nice until I got a smile. The cleaning and maintenance staff were delightful and helpful. We also wished we had been informed by the hotel that there was a private party with live music in the upstairs bar so we knew what to expect...not peace and quiet! Because of these little things we found we got niggled by the sewerage smell in our room and bathroom which otherwise we would have ignored.  Having said that, it was clean, we slept well (apart from mosquitos) on a very comfortable bed and the breakfast was fine. I think it would have been nice to have been offered a free glass of water on arrival after the climb with our luggage...just saying. Service: 1... No smiles or welcome, Food: 3....the outside terrace bar was never open as far as we could see. Breakfast looked pretty but hotel chose what we ate...any changes we had to pay extra, Cleanliness: 5....., Value for money: 3, Sleep quality: 5 after the party had finished We had a great week and despite the reception staff's indifference at Can Verdera it was a stylish hotel and would recommend it.  Hope that helps,

Sorry for the delay – not been well. Answers below. Take care – excellent service. This is a lovely, peaceful place to stay in such a tranquil, traditional village setting. Junior Suite gives a lot of space, too much for our needs, and no view really, so would not recommend this option however. How would you rate the following from 1-5 where 5 is the best rating: Service: 5, Food: 5, Cleanliness: 5, Value for money: 4, Sleep quality: 5, Would you recommend the hotel to a friend? Certainly

Dear Henrik, Just to say thank you for your help with our last minute stay at Can Verdera in Majorca. We really enjoyed our three night stay-it was just what we needed. After a delayed flight we eventually arrived at the hotel about 1 'o'clock in the morning so after a cup of tea went straight to bed, so the following morning we where able to see the hotel. We loved the hotel with the gardens and pool, terrace etc. Breakfast was good, the service and cleanliness was very good and the location couldn't have been better. Everything we wanted for a quiet few days away. Fornalatx is a beautiful little village with nice cafe bars and restaurants where we  fealt quite at home. We would definitely recommend Can Verdera and will probably return soon. Thanks again. regards 

Hi Henrik, Apologies for my tardiness in replying, I've just looked up my e mails to recommend your website to a friend. We had such a nice time staying in this very lovely boutique hotel located in a stunningly pretty location in the mountains. So easy to get around the locality with use of a hire car and perfect to get straight out onto the walking footpaths to nearby villages of Soller with the train connection for ride to the coast if you want. Absolutely Beautiful views of the surrounding mountains straight onto the terraced gardens and up to a lovely covered terrace with quaint little bar at Can Verdera, Staff, service, food, cleanliness rated as 5 with value for money and sleep quality 4. Kind Regards

Hi Henrik, Thank you for your email - I have been meaning to contact  you so am glad you reminded me! Firstly thank you SO much for helping source our hotels in Mallorca,  we love the island and will definitely go back, hopefully in February for my birthday to visit Palma for a few days. Please find below our feedback on each hotel. We enjoyed our stays in both  hotels immensely but definitely preferred Can Verdera to be honest for the reasons specified below. Thanks again for all your help and look forward to speaking again next time we go to the island! Can Verdera, Service:  5/5 – staff were very friendly, helpful, and we were upgraded which was a real treat. Food: 5/5  breakfast served in a lovely terrace with a water feature, very relaxing,  lovely fresh food  and  plenty of it. Some people didn’t like having to pay extra for eggs etc, but it didn’t bother us at all.  Cleanliness:  5/5  very clean and nice turn down service when the bathroom was also tidied up. Value for money: 5/5   Sleep quality: 5/5 – we slept like babies! Would you recommend the hotel to a friend?  Absolutely, the pool area was very nice and ditto the bar overlooking the valley Would you like to write a couple of general sentences about your stay?  We loved the village and the hotel, of course the unexpected upgrade definitely helped but we wouldn’t hesitate to go back next year! Kind regards

Hi Henrik, Yes, we had a lovely holiday thanks. Fornalutx was beautiful and Hotel Can Verdure was wonderful. A quiet, small but stylish hotel, with very comfortable beds, beautiful gardens and a delightful swimming pool. The bedrooms are air conditioned which is a godsend in the high Mallorcan temperatures in the summer. The staff were very friendly and helpful, but one has to realise that as a small hotel, staff at not always to hand, so to speak. Would I recommend the hotel? Unquestionably, although the access to the hotel is up a steep road so not suitable for the infirm. For people who want to get away from it all in a quiet oasis of calm. In terms of scores: Service: 4  Food: n/a Cleanliness: 5 Value for money: 4  Sleep quality: 5 We’ll certainly keep you in mind should be go back to the Balearics. Hope business is good. Regards

Hi Henrik, Apologies for taking so long to let you know what a fabulous time we had. Amazing location and beautiful hotel. The staff are very pleasant but don't necessarily give you enough information unless you ask for it on arrival. It wasn't a problem though because they are very very helpful when you do ask. It would have been nice if they had the facility to off er lunch if you were spending the day at the pool, but understand it may not have been offered perhaps because we were slighlty out of season maybe. Either way it didn't spoil our stay. We will definitely use your services again. Henrick was brilliant for sorting everything so quickly, thank you so much. Service: 4 Food:3 Cleanliness:5 Value for money:5 Sleep quality:5 Would you recommend the hotel to a friend? 100%

Hi Henrik, Brilliant weekend in Mallorca – now it’s back to the rain! Many thanks,

Sorry for the delay – not been well. Answers below. Take care – excellent service Service: 5 Food: 5 Cleanliness: 5 Value for money: 4 Sleep quality: 5  Would you recommend the hotel to a friend? certainly. Would you like to write a couple of general sentences about your stay? This is a lovely, peaceful place to stay in such a tranquil, traditional village setting. Junior Suite gives a lot of space [too much for our needs] and no view really, so would not recommend this option however.

Hello Henrik, We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in Mallorca and feel that splitting our time between the two areas was perfect. Thank you for suggesting these hotels and the information about local restaurants / beaches was really useful. Can Verdera is a lovely hotel in a stunning location, the views from pool and garden bar terraces were breathtaking! Staff were really friendly and helpful, we left very early on our last day and offered breakfast/ coffee before we left. We definitely intend to return and would recommend the hotel to friends.  The walks around Fornalutx are spectacular but challenging, not for the faint hearted!! Na Martina Food 4, buffet breakfast was nice but didn't have full choice range for duration of breakfast time ( we didn't arrive late for breakfast!!) When available the home made cheeses and yoghurt were lovely. Cleanliness 5, our room was very clean.  Sleep quality 3, we had 2 single beds pushed together and only one pillow each. value for money 4. The hotel was lovely, the setting was beautiful.  The staff were very friendly and helpful; knowledgeable about local area, offering suggestions for walks and best beaches. We would recommend Na Martina to friends and will consider returning. Can Verdera Food 3. Nice buffet breakfast but choice fairly limited. Any extras were an additional cost. Mineral water in rooms was expensive! Cleanliness 5. Our room was impeccably clean and the communal areas all lovely. Sleep Quality 5. Our bed was large and very comfortable. Value for money 4.  Regards

Henrik, Det har varit fullt upp efter vår härliga semester på Mallorca :) How would you rate the following from 1-5 where 5 is the best rating:  Service: 5 Food: 4 Cleanliness: 5 Value for money: 5 Sleep quality: 5 Would you recommend the hotel to a friend? Absolutely Would you like to write a couple of general sentences about your stay? We drove with our GPS to the hotel, not to be recommended as the street is VERY tight up to the hotel :) Good welcome when we arrived to the hotel. A perfect way to start the holiday in Mallorca. The pool view where stunning and also the lounge area. The room was clean and great beds (if you have trouble with your back). Breakfast ok, maybe they should go all in for the buffé, instead of serving some at the table and some at the buffé. We received good service and warm welcome in the hotel. We can relay  recommend this hotel. Regards,

Henrik - just got back from our stays at Cas Curial and Can Verdera. Your recommendations were spot on. We will use you again!

Hello Henrik, We had a superb holiday thank you, and largely due to your recommendations - you really seemed to understand what we needed.  Can Verdera in Fornalutx was perfect, such a great pool with fantastic views.  The hotel was a lovely place to be, stylish but very relaxing with friendly genuine staff.  We were very sad to leave.  We rate 5/5 for everything - even though there is limited food available in the hotel.   Then on to Palma and Hotel Tres - this was also a great choice and a real haven in the city, the rooftop terrace and splash pool were great places to relax.  Again we rate 5/5 for everything, although it didn't quite match Can Verdrera. Thanks once again for your help and advice, I would not hesitate in using you to plan another holiday or to recommend to others. Regards

Dear Henrik, Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you.  Our holiday in Majorca was lovely thank you. The Can Verdera was absolutely beautiful and furnished likewise.  This was more of a luxurious hotel and really you couldn't fault anything.  Obviously it was quite a bit more expensive but certainly worth it.  The location was perfect too, being in such a beautiful location. We Just loved Fornaltux and would like to stay there again in the future.  The views from the pool and the outdoor terrace were just amazing and it was so peaceful there. Your recommendation suggesting two locations was such a good idea and we loved being in two different places and very different styled hotels. Thank you so much. We would definitely recommend these hotels to a friend.  We would also definitely recommend you as you were very knowledgable and honest about the hotels and location and helped us plan a lovely holiday. Also thank you for your efficiency in sorting it all out and confirming things so efficiently.  We really appreciated it. We have put our ratings below: You can use any of these comments on your website.  Service: 5, Food: 5, Cleanliness: 5, Value for money: 4, Sleep quality: 5 Kind regards

Yes Would you like to write a couple of general sentences about your stay? Lovely quiet hotel in stunning location. staff friendly and helpful. Only drawback is reluctance to serve food - there was a reasonable snack menu that we were offered on our last day of a 10 day stay.   Pool area and terrace bar are spectacular Kind Regards

We Just loved Fornaltux and would like to stay there again in the future.  The views from the pool and the outdoor terrace were just amazing and it was so peaceful there. The Monnaber Nou was lovely and rural and the swimming pool in the main hotel was great for our teenagers as it was quite big and had separate sections, some which were heated including an outdoor jacuzzi.  We didn't eat dinner in the main restaurant but we did eat at the hotel's other location where the food was cooked on at outdoor bbq grill.  That was ok and reasonably priced.  We did need to use our car a lot due to the very rural location but we expected that and were happy to do so.   Your recommendation suggesting two locations was such a good idea and we loved being in two different places and very different styled hotels.

Dear Henrik, We did enjoy it and thank you for your recommendations. See my responses below – these are intended to be constructive criticism. We had a lovely relaxing time and, as there was a festival in Fornalutx, it was a great time to be in the village. There was a slight air of season end and everyone not really bothered though How would you rate the following from 1-5 where 5 is the best rating:  Service: 4, it varied according to individual people on duty, not always as warm as you’d like it to be Food:   3-4        Shame to use part baked bread (which then goes rock hard) when there is a bakery in the village Cleanliness:      5 Value for money: 4 Sleep quality:    5 Would you recommend the hotel to a friend? yes Regards

Dear Henrik, Just wanted to let you know thank you for your help In recommending and booking Can Vedera  at the very last minute.  The hotel is a little gem in Fornalutx we will be definitely going back ! Regards

Hi Henrik, Had a great stay at the hotel. I have already recommended it to a number of friends. We would like to make a couple of suggestions Tea and coffee making facilities in the room.mini fridge. I travel a lot and most hotels have these facilities The sun beds need softening with a cushion .when you are of a certain age this would be a blessing. Other than those suggestions I would rate everything as a 5. All the people who worked at the hotel were brilliant. Many thanks

Hi Henrik, I just wanted to say a big thank you for your help in arranging our Mallorca trip. Fornalutx was absolutely beautiful and exactly what we were looking for. The hotel was perfect too. I think we'll be going back there!  Thanks again

Hi Henrik Please accept my apologies for not replying sooner, our feet don’t seem to have touched the ground since we returned from Mallorca! I would just like to take this opportunity to thank you so much for organising for us to go to such a fantastic place, it was everything you said it was – and more! Can Verdera was superb, exactly what we wanted, peace and luxury.  Fornalutx was perfect for us with its interesting architecture and lovely places to walk to for eating and drinking at night. As advised we hired a car, which enabled us to explore Cala Deia and Cala Tuent, both of which we loved. So THANK YOU, we would definately like to go to Can Verdera again, hopefully June or July next year, so we will be in touch! How would you rate the following from 1-5 where 5 is the best rating: Service: 5 – Fabulous staff, attentive without being fussy, nothing too much trouble. Food: 5 – Breakfast was superb, all the things we like!  No other food available though, which was ok for us. Cleanliness: 5 – nothing was wrong, the room was lovely, the bathroom sparkling and luxurious! Value for money: 5 Sleep quality:  5 Air con was brilliant. Kind Regards

Hi Henrik, This is just to say that my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Mallorca and very much approved of the hotels that you selected for us. Thank you for making this a successful trip Best wishes

Hi Henrik, We had a wonderful stay thank you. You were right - it was absolutely perfect for a group of friends looking for a relaxing stay!  We would rate everything at a 5, particularly the mojitos which we all thought were the best we had ever had!  Many thanks

Hi Henrik, We had a splendid time  at Can Verdera and could not fault anything at all,quite the opposite in fact ,so we would rate all of your categories at 5 without question .Many thanks for suggesting this  hotel and we would have no hesitation in recommending to our friends .Fornalutx  is a beautiful village in the hills with excellent walking in all directions from the hotel and  a really good choice of restaurants very close by , we just parked the car and forgot about it for a few days ! Perfect holiday ..... Kind Regards 

Hi Henrik, Here is the feedback: Service: 4 Food: 4  Cleanliness: 4 Value for money: 3 Sleep quality: 4 Overall we has a great stay at the hotel. Everyone was really friendly and helpful. The one comment I have about food, my partner and don't eat meat and as we got the cold cheese platter for breakfast the first morning I did ask the manageress to please not make up the meat on the platter just cheese as I hate wasting. The next morning it was served again the same as before but we just kept quiet. Both the rooms were lovely. I would recommend the hotel and the rural hotel Mallorca to anyone I meet.  Thank you again for all your help in finding us an hotel. 

Hi Henrik, Just returned from our trip to Mallorca and would like to thank you for your help in recommending the hotels we stayed in Mirabo and C’an Vedara. They were both very different but both equally fabulous. We are planning a further visit in to Majorca in October so if you know of any good deals. C’AN VEDERA :   Beautiful boutique hotel spotlessly clean, we had a standard room and again would have preferred a higher standard for the fabulous view and a terrace but the room we had was clean and the bathroom was spacious. Air con was good and not noisy, BUT the bed was incredibly hard, ended up with a rather bad back and its not something I suffer from. For feedback they need to have mattress toppers or new beds. The new terrace bar which we understand was previously the restaurant was closed on Sunday so there was no where to get drinks or sit in the evening all the furniture was covered in plastic all weather covers. Not good when your only staying for three days and one of them was a Sunday !! We never saw a member of staff at the hotel other than the waitress who served breakfast each morning and the young lady that severed at the terrace bar which was very quiet, not that we minded but if the hotel served light snacks or evening Tapas I am sure more residents would frequent the bar area. It is so beautiful and the views are amazing such a shame it was closed on Sundays and there was never more than two couples at the terrace and we were one of them. It didn’t bother us but the hotel is loosing valuable revenue to the local bars. Upon our arrival we were greeted by a young lady who gave a very quick and very brief run down of the room. There was no information in the hotel either in the room or in the reception area about the surrounding areas where to go, what to do etc or even the Village its self. We ended up going the Petite Hotel for info and asked at the restaurants  and local village bars. The hotel itself fell very short on customer hospitality in this area. The cobbled street to hotel  was very difficult to manage with  suitcases and there was no offer of help from the hotel only one girl on reception. However, all of the above said it has not put us off the hotel  it is beautiful and we still loved the place and will most definitely return again soon. Please Please ask them to change the mattresses on the beds. I think we were in room 6. The village of Fornaltux is extremely beautiful and a place we wish to return too very soon. Please email me back asap. Once again many thanks for your help in booking these hotels they were both fabulous and we would return to either of them again, but we are open to your recommendations and suggestions for other hotels. Kind Regards

Hi Henrik, On the whole we had a really lovely time, thank you. Hope you had a lovely summer too. Please see answers to questions below.  We would definitely use your service again. How would you rate the following from 1-5 where 5 is the best rating:  Service: 5 Food: 5 Cleanliness: 5 Value for money: 5 Sleep quality:5 Would you recommend the hotel to a friend? Definitely.  Would you like to write a couple of general sentences about your stay? Again a very peaceful and personable hotel with a beautiful location and a lounge bar view to die for. Best wishes

Dear Henrik, My wife and I are now back from our holiday you recommended and we would both like to thank you so much for suggesting the two hotels both of which were perfect in every way and enabled us to have a truly relaxing holiday in peaceful and beautiful settings. Many thanks once again. With Kind Regards

Hi Henrik, Thanks for your email. I've been so busy so just now had time to read it properly. We had a great holiday thank you, and thank you so much for all your help and valuable advice.  I'm so glad you recommended Can Verdera over the others in Fornalutx as it was just gorgeous and in a fabulous location... the top bar was a surprise and a joy and I could've sat there looking out at the view with my mojito forever! Here are my ratings... Can Verdera first/Can Quatre second How would you rate the following from 1-5 where 5 is the best rating:  Service: 4/4 Food: 4/4 Cleanliness: 4/4 Value for money: 4/3 Sleep quality: 4/4 Would you recommend the hotel to a friend? yes/yes Would you like to write a couple of general sentences about your stay? I would highly recommend Can Verdera and Fornalutx as the ideal place to unwind. It is so peaceful.  The pool and bar area at Can Verdera are lovely and the views breathtaking.  Sitting up in the outside bar with a cocktail watching the sun change the colour of the mountainsides was pure bliss. Our second trip to Can Quatre so no surprises and it was fine.  We love Soller so Can Quatre is ideally situated for the vintage train down to the port (there is a stop a short walk away) or you can take the 10-15 min stroll into the town centre.  The owner (sorry I forget her name) was great, very welcoming and made us feel at home and comfortable. The previous time we went there was a different person who was perhaps not so welcoming. It made a difference to have a warm welcome.  One of our mattresses was really uncomfortable and she took the news well and said she'd do something about it which she did.  We wanted peace and relaxation and that's what we got.  The last day two families arrived with teenagers and they all knew each other so you are talking maybe 9 or 10 people which is not what we would want, but it was our last day so that was OK! Many thanks again Henrik.

Dear Henrik, Thank you for your email. Regarding our stay at Can Vedera.  We enjoyed our stay there.  Thank you for the recommendation.  We also asked Anna about availability on the 2nd and she said she had it and would happily let us have a room, from as soon as one was available.  At the time we could have it as soon as we arrive, however, as you said, bookings could come in between now and then and we may end up having to wait.  However, we're happy to proceed on that basis.  I would rate everything as a 5.  We enjoyed the tranquility of the village of Fornalutx.  The hotel's approach was relaxed and so were the rules. Anna was fantastic and made us feel very welcome as did the rest of the staff, who were also very friendly.  I know this is the type of comment that can be read widely in reviews and personally, I always take them with a 'pinch of salt'. However, in our experience staff were not just smiling and saying hello as part of their brief, it was more genuine than that: it made us feel as though the staff were happy to work at this establishment. 

Dear Henrik, Sure we would like to share our experience! Thanks to the quick, friendly and accurate service from henrik we managed a very last minute booking at Can Verdera for 5 nights.  We were warmly welcomed at arrival and our (ridiculously heavy) bags got carried upstairs.  The hotel has a very authentic but modern atmosphere with nice art and design. The garden, the poolsite, the garden lounge, all amazing and gives you an instant holiday-relaxed feeling.  The beds were very comfortable and the room was spacious and included all your daily needs during holidays.  As you can read, we were more than satisfied with our stay at Can Verderda and Fornalutx is a beautiful village with some nice restaurants and breathtaking views.  Writing this makes us want to go back! How would you rate the following from 1-5 where 5 is the best rating:  Service: 5 Food: 4 Cleanliness: 5 Value for money: 5 Sleep quality: 5 Would you recommend the hotel to a friend? Definitely!

We thought the hotel was in the expensive range, but ungenerous. We were charged for a bottle of water in our room €2.50. We were not offered tea or coffee in the bedroom, as is usual in many hotels. We were told that there was car parking available but on arrival  informed that we could park in the public car park at the bottom of the hill. We had to bring heavy suitcases up a very steep hill, and then carry them up flights of stairs to our room. The hotel has spent money on decor and furnishing, but I found it soulless. The village is beautiful, and so is the area. We will return there, but regrettably, not to Can Verdera. How would you rate the following from 1-5 where 5 is the best rating:  Service: 4 (sheets turned down one of the three nights we were there) Food: 4 ( breakfast only ) Cleanliness: 5 Value for money: 2 Sleep quality: 3 Would you recommend the hotel to a friend?  No 

Dear Henrik, We are at the end of our holiday in Mallorca. We would like to thank you for the wonderful time we had the last ten days, both in Son Pons and in Can Verdera. We will give a lot of free publicity for your site and your professional assistance, on a rather short notice. Once again: thank you very much!

Dear Henrik, We had a great holiday.  Here's our reply to your questions. How would you rate the following from 1-5 where 5 is the best rating: Service: 5 Food:  4.  Breakfast excellent but restaurant food a little disappointing Cleanliness: 5 Value for money: 4 Sleep quality: 5 Would you recommend the hotel to a friend? Yes definitely Would you like to write a couple of general sentences about your stay? A beautiful hotel in a stunning unspoilt location.  We really enjoyed evenings in the lively atmosphere of the village where local families met along with visitors.  Thank you for recommending it, a gem! Regards

Dear Henrik, I am writing to you a week after our return from Fornalutx. We had a wonderful week at Can Verdera. We were lucky enough to have the penthouse suite for the four of us and although we knew before we arrived that this would certainly be a special room, the excitement and sheer glee on our faces was palpable when we first arrived at the room. It was more beautiful than anything we had expected. The room (or apartment, rather) is very spacious, decorated with impeccable taste and with stunning views onto he rooftops of the village and the surrounding hillside. It is very quiet and because of its location, you can hear the sound of the goat bells on the other side of the valley. THis is the first holiday where we have actually wanted to spend time in the room in order to take advantage of it. The Bose sound system was definitely the icing on the cake and we had our breakfast served in the room every morning while listening to some of our favorite music. Sheer bliss. As for the ratings, this is how I would rate the hotel: Service : 3 Food : 4 Cleanliness : 5 Value for Money : 5 Sleep quality : 5 The reason why I didn’t give more than a 3 for service is as follows. This is a small boutique hotel with only 8 rooms and from what I could tell a small team running the place. We were not looking for the type of hotel where there a member of staff hovers at every corner waiting to see if you need something. And this is exactly what we got. There was often no one at reception and on a couple of occasions we had to ring several times in order to get an answer. But this was not a problem for us as we wanted a quiet, small, boutique hotel. When however, we did ask a member of staff for something, they were always happy to help and to be honest this was just fine for us. Other guests may be looking for a much higher level of service. This is why I put a 3. Good service, absolutely fine for us, but not “out of this world”. I would recommend this hotel without hesitation to a friend. I would encourage them to ensure that they get a room with a garden view if they can’t get the penthouse. And I have already decided to go back. Not sure when but we totally fell in love with Fornalutx and Ca’n Verdera. thanks for your help in organizing this successful holiday. It was just wonderful. I will certainly let you know if we decide to go back. We would love to go off season in order to enjoy some of the walking….. Kind regards

Hi Henrik We had a great time, and loved both hotels. Fornalutx is a delightful village in the middle of the mountain region, with steep hills and narrow alleyways. The hotel is a converted building in the middle of the town, so the rooms are small but not tiny. Very nice bathrooms. All decorated in sleek modern style, with some nice touches like Bose speakers. The breakfasts are simple but ample, served in the pretty courtyard. The highlight is the pool area, which is a marvel if you consider how difficult it must have been to build, and has spectacular views of the mountains and valley. Access is a little tricky because you can’t drive your car right up to the hotel door (or at least I didn’t have the nerve to!), so you have to drag your bags up the hill from the car park. (I think they sometimes have a porter who can help). There is a restaurant open for dinner only, which also has great views, but we didn’t try it. Service: 3 Food: 4 (only had the breakfast) Cleanliness: 5 Value for money: 4 Sleep quality: 5 Would you recommend the hotel to a friend? Yes

Dear Henrik, I would respond as follows: – Yes we had a very nice holiday indeed as Mallorca is a lovely island and the weather was a great deal better than we experience here in Scotland. My ratings are as follows: – Service : 3 Food : 2 Cleanliness: 3 value for money : 3 sleep quality : 2 Would I recommend the hotel to a friend : A qualified yes. The village was quite excellent in its ambient character and the quality of the surrounding landscape was superb. The hotel was OK but not nearly as good as our previous stay in Son Gener last October. The breakfast was rather skimpy and the little balcony we were supposed to have was used by other people on their way to the swimming pool. That was annoying as it took away our privacy. We took the room because I believe either you or someone else had recommended it. Perhaps the comparison between the two hotels was skewed because we had stayed at Son Gener first. Yes we will probably use you again for future stays on the island. kind regards,

Hi Henrik, we would rate can verdera a 5. We loved it. Beautiful village! People so helpful and friendly. We would return. If we had some suggestions it would be the following, pool could be warmer for the time of year and my son would like some Mayo and ketchup with his food at the hotel. The chef was very accommodating to tailor the menu though. We agree that we had value for money and we are already wishing and dreaming of being back at beautiful can verdera . Best wishes

Dear Henrik, We really enjoyed our stay at the island. Can Verdera: Service: 5 Food: 5 Cleanliness: 5 Value for money: 5 Sleep quality:5

Hello Henrick! Yes thank you we had a lovely holiday. I would probably rate all the aspects on your list as 8 out of 10. Where the hotel really scored of course was in it’s setting which was truly wonderful.Personally I would probably prefer the style of one of the other places in the village. Was it Reus? However that is not a criticism of Verdera and I would reccomend it to a friend. So a few words………. The atmosphere at the Verdera is calm and peaceful. The hotel and it’s beautiful setting provide the perfect place to rest and relax.The memory of sitting under the lime trees and looking out along the valley and at the surrounding mountains will sustain me through the dark winter months.The hotel and indeed the village provided for our every need and it was easy to get to Soller and Palma as well as many other lovely places. We will definately return! Hope that is okay. Regards,

Can verdera was a gorgeous hotel in a wonderful location. We loved your recommendation and loved the whole area of Majorca that we stayed in. Some other recommendations for you – Nautilus restaurant at Port de soller was great, amazing food, huge portions though and a great place to see the sun set. Jaume in Deia was gorgeous – we had lunch there on the terrace over looking the valley- really lovely food and service fantastic. We stumbled across the Residencia Hotel and as a special treat had lunch their too – very exclusive and very lovely – worth a visit if your wallet allows. We definately plan to go back, many many thanks for your help with a lovely break. Service: 4 Food: 5 Cleanliness: 5 Value for money: 4 Sleep quality: 5

Hello Henrik, Sorry to not have answer earlier, I was pretty busy. First of all, we all really want to thank you for your help, we spent wonderful holydays in Mallorca. It was really a good idea to spend few days in the North and some others in the south east. Thanks to it we discovered two different types of landscapes and activities (Mountains and hiking VS Salines and beach). Regarding the hotel, they were both awesome. The first one in the north was very smart and nice. Fornalutx village is definitly a very nice place to stay, and the other one in the south was so friendly. We loved to be completly lost in the countryside, like in a ranch. We really like the agrotourism concept and the family who hosted us was very lovely. To sum up, we put a 5 for all the different ratings asked, and we definitly recommand to friends to spend holydays there. There are not a lot of french people and we appreciated it ! Have a nice evening,

Dear Henrik Thank you for your email. The hotel you recommended was a good choice. We really enjoyed our weekend and I would recommend it to other guests and friends. Service: 3-4. Very relaxed which is acceptable in a small rural location and staff helpful and polite when asked for assistance. Could possibly have had occasional pool side service as had to go and find someone each time drinks/coffee etc. required. No glasses/cups cleared from pool area until end of day. Food: 4. Ate in hotel for breakfast and tried their restaurant. All good. Cleanliness: 5 Value for money: 4 Sleep quality: 4. Bed frame had several wooden slats missing which must have broken so support to mattress was limited. Hope this is helpful and we would certainly use your booking service again. Kind regards

Dear Henrik I had every intention of contacting you to thank you for organising such a lovely holiday for us. Roger and I had such a nice time. We loved Fornalutx which was your choice. We did not expect it to be in a village, but that meant we could walk to the restaurants in the evening or wander out for a coffee in the day. we also went on a couple of good walks to the nearbye villages. The hotel was excellent, with stunning views from the pool terrace. Staff were again excellent and very helpful in giving us information about restaurants siteseeing etc. Soller, beautiful and the hotel very quirky we loved it. The pool and garden were like an oasis as the hotel was very close to the centre of town which meant again we could easily walk to restaurants and shops or take the train down to the port. Again staff were helpful and very friendly. Breakfast in both hotels was very good but the pastries in Fornalutx were delicious. We would definitely recommend both hotels to friends and have already done so. We both slept very well on good beds, even through the feast in Fornalutx, both hotels were very clean. Although the holiday was not cheap we were happy to pay what we did pay and get the quality, service and friendly atmosphere that you do receive in the smaller boutique type hotels. I would give 5 to everything. Regards

Hi Henrik We LOVED our stay at Can Verdera. Can Verdera is a lovely place to stay as a couple in search of fabulous views and a quiet stay, maybe not so much for families (our 3 year old was the only child around so we were worried he would disturb the quietness of other guests) though the hotel staff has always been extremely friendly and helpful. It’s worth venturing into the restaurants in Fornalutx for dinner. But having a few cold beers by the great swimming pool is worth a treat. Oh and finally, Fornalutx is an amazing village, it can’t be missed. Service: 5 (if not 6!) Food: i’d say 4 and 2: 4 for breakfast / and 2 for dinner which we had there one night. though the dining area is lovely, the food wasn’t that great Cleanliness: 5 Value for money: 4 Sleep quality: 5 Would you recommend the hotel to a friend? Yes definitely

Hi Henrik We had a fantastic time, once again thank you for your help in recommending this hotel. A great find! Service: 4/5 – only reason not a 5 is that no-one offered drinks etc when poolside – but I can understand others may not appreciate this so it’s just a personal preference Food: 5/5 – outstanding food, best restaurant we tried, and there are some excellent restaurants Cleanliness: 5/5 Value for money: 5/5 Sleep quality: 4/5 – it was the fiesta when we stayed which is the only reason for 4/5 Would you recommend the hotel to a friend? Absolutely Fabulous hotel in a stunning location overlooking the mountains – bliss! Cheers

Henrik, We had a great stay at Can Verdera! Service: Very good – we were given a warm welcome and help with restaurant bookings Food: Good – we only ate Breakfast at the hotel but very much enjoyed and liked the fact that it was served as a “platter” at the table Cleanliness: Good – the room, communal areas, pool and grounds were well maintained and clean Value for money: Good – we dont have a huge deal of experience to compare against but from a wide search of hotels in Majorca it did seem more competitively priced than others Sleep quality: Good We would suggest it may be useful for future visitors to be advised that there are very few restaurants open on Sunday (I think only one in Fornalutx) and we found that we had visited it on the Saturday and had we known before would have done so on Sunday and chosen another when more were open. Thanks for your help in finding the hotel and booking!

Hi Henrik Well, we had an amazing stay in Can Verdera. Lovely place, we were warmly welcome, and as you said location is great. Fornalutx is really beautiful and pleasant. Plus breakfast is homemade!

Dear Henrik, Thanks for your email. We had the best holiday ever, hotel rated 5 on all counts. I would recommend the hotel to friends but in a way would want to keep it secret as it was so special! The village was lovely and a good base for walking and exploring the north west. We would love to return as soon as possible. May I also thank you for your care and attention in helping me to find a place that we would love and I would certainly come back to you to when we return to Mallorca. Thank you again Best wishes

Hello, Of course I would like to contribute: I would surely recommend Can Verdera to everybody looking for a nice quite vacation. The view is excellent and the staff extremely helpful. They helped us to find good restaurants in Soller, and they told us about small hidden beaches. The hotel is located in one of the most beautiful regions, and we rented a car to explore the environment more closely. Thank you for your help finding this little spot in Mallorca! Service 5 Food 3 Cleanliness 5 Value 5 Sleep quality 5 Best regards

Hello Henrik, Very satisfied with both hotels. The Can Verdera was really class and personnel extremly friendly and helpful. I can recommend both hotels to friends. Service: 5 Food: 5 Cleanliness: 5 Value for money: 5 Sleep quality: 5

Hi Henrick We really enjoyed our stay at the Can Verdera, and I would rate all the services very highly. I would certaily recommend this hotel to a freind, and would also consider staying there again should we wish to visit Majorca. I would like to thank you for your assistance in finding this hotel for us. With Kind Regards

Hi Henrik We had a fantastic time at can verdera last month. I would rate service as 5, cleanliness as 5, value for money as 5 and sleep quality as 5. We didn’t eat at the hotel other than breakfast which I would rate a 4. I would most definitely recommend to a friend and would not hesitate in returning again with my family. The location of the hotel was outstanding…service excellent and very welcoming of our two young children. Thank you vey much for your assistance in booking our holiday. Kind regards

Hello Henrik, Please see my feedback below. The village and surrounding area was indeed lovely so thank you for your advice. Service: 5 everyone was pleasant and service was relaxed but attentive Food: 5 we only had breakfast but it was lovely Cleanliness: 4 a small gripe but our room had a few cobwebs and the loo wasn’t always cleaned Value for money: 5 (compared to what that money would get you in the UK!) very reasonable for such a nice hotel Sleep quality: 3 there was a late and loud party one evening (in the restaurant we think?) and also the cleaning staff and grounds people started banging around quite early and the noise travelled a bit. The bed was lovely though Would you recommend the hotel to a friend? Yes indeed as long as they want relaxed and unpretentious in a lovely location Would you like to write a couple of general sentences about your stay? A lovely small hotel in a beautiful setting.

Henrik, Can Verdera was fabulous! Service, food, cleanliness, and value for money all 5. For sleep quality: I found my room a bit stuffy as it was on the ground floor and the alley/small road was right out my window I couldn’t keep the window open wide at night. So just avoid ground floor room! Otherwise, very nice people, beautiful little garden and extremely beautiful, charming village. Excellent recommendation and yes, I would recommend to others. Best wishes,

Hi Henrik I’ve been meaning to send you an email to say just how much we enjoyed Can Verdera. It is such a beautiful, peaceful place – our Room no 10 was perfect, with its own secluded terrace, and the shady gardens, the view of the mountains and the lovely pool exceeded our expectations. The room was simple and though bare, relaxing and with everything we needed. The service was always friendly and Anna is a star. She told us many helpful things and places to go. She also let us stay in our room and be around the pool until we left at 4.30 pm on our check-out day. The only small thing which might improve the hotel could be an Honesty Bar – we ended up having a bottle of wine we bought locally in our room, which was fine, but there often seems to be no-one around, or at least visible, after Anna leaves in the morning. No-one to ask for a jug of water if you spend time at the pool, for example, no-one to ask for a tray of tea – though after some time, we did find someone and there was always a friendly response. The hotel is very clean – slight improvement would be for the small terrace outside our room to be swept when the room is cleaned – but that’s not a big thing. The hotel isn’t cheap, but the ambiance, the restaurant, the friendly people are all wonderful, and the towels by the pool and the shower inside the little cave are delightful. We slept well in a comfortable bed – perhaps an additional blanket (we only had a sheet) in the cupboard might be good to have in early summer. If we’d been too chilly, I’m sure we could have asked for that. I would certainly recommend the hotel to friends – in fact one of my authors is going to stay there on the 16th June, Moira Young and her husband, Paul. We hadn’t realised how beautiful that area of Mallorca was – we drove into the mountains, went to all the places you recommended, and generally found your advice and help terrfic, Henrik. We would certainly like to go back to Mallorca again with your advice and the village of Fornalutx is lovely. All best wishes.

Henrik, We had a fantastic time staying at Can Verdera and can’t thank you enough for your recommendations .Thanks again
