Top choice in Mallorca
The monks of Sant Salvador, a fortress-like hermitage high above the plains around Felanitx that dates to 1348, packed up for good in 1992, leaving their home to be converted into a lovely wi-fi–enabled hotel. Their former cells have been converted into attractive rooms and apartments each with an outstanding panoramic view to the sea and private bathroom. Sunrise is quite a spectacle.
Some apartments come with terrace.
