What a lovely place!!
Very peaceful and the pool is lovely. The rooms are spacious, the
kitchenette quite basic but functional, lovely bathroom and all
beautifully kept. Definitely worth a return visit!!

Very warm friendly
welcome. Lovely, very rural setting and a beautiful apartment on the
first floor. Everything was clean and well equipped, although a kettle
and a proper stove would have been preferable if you like to cook.
Satellite TV but no English channels, if that bothers you! Excellent
place for chilling out, lovely pool, great walks. The village isn't
the prettiest, but is very Spanish and has everything including a
telebanco and internet access. Would highly recommend

Thanks we had a lovely holiday at
Sa Vall de Son Macia. The family there are very friendly and helpful
and laid back. You are very much left to your own devices which we
quite liked. The huge terrace we had attached to our room really made
our holiday as the views were spectacular and the hotel supplied
plates and cutlery so we could organize a lunch every day at the hotel
rather than going out. The terrace had a table and chairs and two
loungers and a clothes dryer so we had everything we needed. Would
definitely recommend the restaurant 'No He So' which is just at the
entrance to the village. The staff were lovely and although they had
limited English they tried really hard! When explaining an item of the
menu they resorted to "mooing".

Can only repeat what
others have said, that we recommend Sa Vall - lovely welcoming hosts
who genuinely want to help you to enjoy yourselves; quiet rural
setting but near enough to urban Manacor for supermarkets, petrol etc
(10 min drive)- the pretty town of Arta is about 20 mins drive and
offers some good restaurants (esp Es Passeig); not mentioned much is
the great little swimming pool which is definitely not oversubscribed
and includes a hammock in the shade for a quiet read or snooze;
Sounds: goat bells, crickets, cats, Sights: olive, almond and lemon
trees; giant cacti; lots of sun! Only minor drawback is lack of air
conditioning in rooms but not a major problem once acclimatised. Tip:
if you go into the main house (reception) there is local info re:
eating out, activities etc. Only discovered this when we checked out!

Thanks
so much for organising our requested room at Sa Vall. It was our
fourth visit and it was as enjoyable and as relaxing as ever. The
family are so welcoming, always. The standard has remained high and at
such excellent value for money. It truly is a special place. We found
the local supermarket to be as well stocked as we remembered with
everything you could need for a stay so nearby. We ate in the square
every night between the two restaurants and felt both had greatly
improved since our last visit.

Wonderful holiday. Sa
Vall was everything we read in other reviews and more. The owners were
so kind; the apartment was spotless; pool towels included; bottle of
local wine on arrival. We loved every minute of our stay and will
recommend it to friends. We really relaxed and found that side of the
island unspoilt and peaceful. The pool was excellent and we quite
often had it to ourselves. We returned feeling relaxed and refreshed.

The Sa Vall de Son Macia
is a beautiful 16th Century farmhouse - with a resident cat. The
family are very friendly and speak little English. We stayed in an
apartment which was spacious and very well equipped - complete with
coffee filters and a coffee machine etc. They had even provided some
washing up liquid. There were sufficient towels provided as well, and
it was clean and well maintained. The affinity pool is wonderful and
we often found ourselves the only ones by the pool. Sun loungers, sun
shades and a hammock are available. The breakfast is continental -
local sausage, croissants, pan au chocolat, bread, cheese etc. In the
apartment, we catered for ourselves. There is no facility for dinner
offered by Sa Vall, so you have to go to the local village (Son Macia
- 5 mins on foot), or drive to the other villages. That was the only
downside - very little opportunity for eating out in the local
village, meaning a drive down country roads to other towns/villages.
Son Macia does have a couple of shops and little cafes so you can get
all your provisions, including the local speciality, Ensaimaida - a
must! The area, although completely rural, seems to cater for the
German market - so we felt a lack of authentic Spain in our visit -
although this wasn't necessarily reflected in the hotel (apart from
the guests), just the local area.

Blissful ten days at
this authentic farmhouse, family very friendly and
helpful, even boiling water in a pan was all part of the chilling out.
Village a convenient 10 min walk away with good restaurants and bank
and supermarket. A relaxing experience and look forward to repeating
it soon.

10/10 Superb location,
spotlessly clean, authentic accommodation set in the
old stable buildings; tranquil days spent by the pool, the family are
obliging but the whole place is very laid back and one is left very
much to do their own thing. Breakfast outside on the front of the
farmhouse is excellent. Overall a brilliant place to spend time
chilling out. The village is a 10 min walk away with two good local
restaurants serving authentic
cuisine.

The Sa Vall was by far
our favourite place to stay. The family who run the
agrotourismo were very hospitable and made us feel very welcome. They
provided lots of insight into the local areas and gave us tips of
beaches/ restaurants and landmarks we would not have encountered as
they were not
frequented by many tourists. The room was clean, of a good size with
mini
fridge and a terrace big enough for a table/chairs and sun loungers.
The
breakfast was delicious and there was plenty to choose from. We would
definitely stay at this hotel again. We are at present considering
returning
for a week at the end of May/beginning of June 2008.

10/10 We felt so lucky
to have stayed here - it was perfect! We loved
everything about it... the room, the terrace, the views, the location,
the
fact all you could hear was the jangling sheep-bells. We would go back
tomorrow. Bliss.

We spent 10 nights in
the lovely Sa Vall and were well taken care of. The
location is handy for a very pleasant beach called Caja Romantica and
the
local village of Son Macia has 2 eateries and a well equipped
supermarket.
This is a place to come to if you are looking for a peaceful, lazy
holiday.
You will be surrounded by olive groves and citrus trees, a beautiful
garden
set in a very pretty valley.

Excellent hotel and

they gave us the key to another room and allowed us to stay for free.
Would
totally recommend to anyone.

10/10. We always felt
that there must be another side to Mallorca other than the tourist
resorts and Sa Vall has restored our faith that it does indeed exist!
What a beautiful place - fantastic views and a lovely pool. Very
friendly family and excellent breakfasts. Our apartment was spotless
and the private terrace perfect.

Our stay at Sa Vall was
something else. What a superb place. So quiet apart from the sheep
bells but that added to the wonder. Rooms were great. Certainly big
enough and probably more spacious than I imagined from the web site
photo shots. Only comment I would make is that we would have found an
electric kettle more than useful (rather than boiling water in a pan
on the hot ring). The family at Sa Vall were superb, very welcoming
and could not be more helpful. No request was too much trouble. It was
good to know before we arrived that English was not understood by mum
and dad but their daughters made up for them and anyway we were asked
to "mimic" what we wanted to say to great amusement. Their hospitality
was of the highest level and they went out of their way to ensure we
always had our privacy. In concluding I would have no hesitation in
recommending to anyone this wonderful set-up, indeed other family
members are planning a visit !!! No doubt we will also return. Thank
you for facilitating a wonderful experience.

Solid 10/10! Absolutely
perfect in every way. The hotel is perfect and the staff is even
better. This was THE perfect spot for a family vacation. Forget
Alcudia, Palma Nova, or Magaluf-come to the east side and REALLY enjoy
this island. The best family vacation I have had to date! Thank YOU Sa
Vall !

We had a great time, a
lovely hotel with fantastic views and a great breakfast. The family
could not have been more friendly and it is such a relaxing place to
be. Would recommend to anyone - ideal for visiting the coast and some
wonderful beaches.

We had the most lovely
long w/e at this rural retreat in the eastern agricultural area of
Majorca. The owners were so helpful and caring and we enjoyed being
the only people beside the beautiful pool, surrounded by the noise of
jangling bells around the sheep's necks. The living area in the 2 bed
apartment was small but functional and we spent most of our time on
our lovely private terrace. We would give it a 9/10.

We had a magical time -
all the more special because we were the only people there. We loved
the apartment and could not have asked for more friendly hosts - the
Spanish/English dictionary worked excellently, along with a lot of
miming!! What fun.

My husband and I
honeymooned on Mallorca, and Sa Vall was the first and best place we
stayed. The atmosphere was relaxing, the hosts were friendly, and the
apartment was comfortable and spacious. I wish we could have stayed
there the entire trip!

We would re-iterate
comments made by previous guests. Expect a warm welcome and
comfortable accommodation. This is probably how Mallorcan tourism was
30 years ago before the cynical approach to tourists appeared. The
breakfast was very typically Mallorcan and very good value. Llorenc
seems very proud of his beaches!

Just to let you know
that we have just come back from a restful 10 days in Mallorca. Sa

year. A real find.

We had a fantastic
stay at Sa Vall De Son Macia. The apartment was perfect for our
needs with plenty of room for 2 adults and 2 children. The pool was
beautiful and we had it to ourselves most of the time. Llorenc and
Theresa could not be more friendly. Though they speak no English and
we speak no Spanish we managed to get by. It is certainly worth
asking Llorenc to show you the way to his favourite beaches - almost
deserted and very beautiful. Son Macia is a small village off the
beaten track where there are 2 fine restaurants in the square. The
food is simple but very good value - 6 euro for the set menu with a
bottle of rose thrown in - a long way from the tourist spots.
Your website certainly
lives up to its name - we were definitely in The other Majorca! We
would consider a return trip next year.

Excellent all the way
thru. 9 out of 10. The only thing that would have made the stay a 10
would have been if the owners spoke English. One person did but she
was only available the first night. Besides that our stay was
fantastic!

Just what we were
looking for. Accommodation excellent and hospitality of owners
unrivalled. It's got us very interested in rural Majorca and we intend
to take another few trips on this basis.

Wow! We have been to
Mallorca loads of times but this was just another level. The apartment
was just so; and the service was "perfecto" - fresh pastries each
morning and a friendly smile. Don't tell to many of your friends, we
want to go back.

This was perfect as it
was in the east where it was quiet and the valley completely peaceful.
We were given fruit from their farm which tasted better than anything
in england.

Fantastic. We had a
great time and we don't have anything negative to say about the
accommodation or the location. It was away from all the hustle of the
big resorts but near enough if we wanted to go there, (we didn't
much). We can't stress enough though how kind and friendly the owners
were and would like to stress how much we loved it there and will
certainly be back one day.

We
thought Sa Vall was lovely - a beautiful, peaceful setting, tastefully
decorated apartment and great
swimming pool. Also, the Spanish family who run it were very friendly
and didn't appear tourist-tired. I would probably advise people
staying there to hire a
car as the local town and beaches are a bit of a trek away.
