This finca (rural estate), in the Adrover family since the 17th century, is like a breath of fresh air in Cala d'Or. Four rooms with antique furnishings overlook a pool and palm-dotted gardens, where only the hum of cicadas and the cockerel crowing interrupt the silence. Find it off the highway linking S'Horta with Cala Ferrera, on the outskirts of Cala d'Or.
