Sóller
The bishop who once lived here would no doubt appreciate the addition of the pool in this nicely restored 19th-century parish residence, but he may have snorted at the little gym. The room decor is largely modern, but some grand details (such as the stone arches and fireplaces) remain intact in the public areas. Rooms are spacious, bright and come with a terrace.
Fantastic views of Puig Major and the jagged mountain range afford a further dimension, while the restaurant is a fine choice.
