Bang in the heart of old Palma, this sweet, family-run guesthouse offers 21 rooms with solid timber furniture and clean white walls. Downstairs a cat slumbers in a plant-filled patio, upstairs you'll find a book-lined lounge and a roof terrace for unwinding. Cheaper rooms share communal bathrooms, but there are five en suites.
