Glorious setting in the lovely Mallorcan village of Deia
This renowned Orient-Express hotel has become a symbol of informal elegance and romantic seclusion in a glorious setting of mountains and coast in an extremely attractive village.
The hotel is arranged in four buildings, one from each of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries and a newer one designed to blend in. As the hotel is on a hillside there are paths bordered by lovely gardens leading guests around some 30 landscaped acres. The style throughout is traditional, with many antiques providing a simple yet classic elegance.
"I have been to twice to La Residencia, which I loved as a smaller rural property, I liked the design of the hotel with its traditional feel and the fantastic Suites that have their own pools but I also like the fact that you can walk in to Deia which has a small selection of restaurants, shops, etc. I feel that this hotel is ideal for couples..."
