Beautiful Old Farmhouse With English Country Gardens & Pool. 6 bedrooms 6 baths.
Sa Serra Mitjana, Villa, old farmhouse. Set in the heart of the south/east Mallorcan countryside just outside the quiet village of Calonge' (which has two great restaurants), yet only two miles from the beaches and nightlife of Cala d'Or. Here you will find a haven of peace and tranquillity. Five bedrooms with five ensuite bathrooms,6 with the Apartment which is included. Private swimming pool, magnificent gardens set in 5 acres of private estate. Sweep through the electric gates and up the drive to "Se Serra Mitjana", a lovingly restored, vine covered finca, a 200 year old manor house extensively modernised for todays discriminating traveller. Enter through the old oak rustic double front doors into the large lounge which opens up onto the gardens. TV, DVD, satellite TV are provided, a stereo CD is piped thru the downstairs rooms. The outside dining patio is covered/shaded with a grape vine which hangs heavy with fruit in the summer months. In the grounds you will discover almond and lemond groves, pepper and bay leaf trees and a dovecote. We have WiFi, central heating and air conditioning in most rooms. We also have our own well, meaning plenty of water when Mallorca is in a drought.
We are just minutes away from the village with it's farmers bars, the bakery, boutique shops and nice restaurants. A big supermarket is on the corner as you enter Cala d'Or. This South East side of Mallorca abounds in lovely coves and beaches. It is the prettiest part of a beautiful island. The island roads have all been upgraded and are wonderful for driving or cycling on. Please note the lovingly restored brick walls along the roads and fields which have all been hand built by the farmers or craftsmen. Each stone hand laid, very labour intensive. All our bedrooms have their own bathrooms. We have 5 bedrooms in the Main House and a separate apartment adjoining the house which has it’s own front patio and entrance. This can open up to the Terrace and BBQ area and gardens. It has a Living Room with kitchen included. This room has two settees, tv and dining table. There are chairs outside on the Patio. The bedroom is air conditioned and has a double bed with bedside wall lamps, hanging locker and a large chest of drawers. A nice shower and wc adjoins the room.
Cala d’Or Marina is at the bottom of our lane, about a mile away. Wonderful restaurants encircle the harbour along with nice bars and the Yacht Club. You do not have to be a Member to go in for a drink on the Terrace or enjoy lunch or dinner there. Restaurant Botavara is highly recommended for Sea Food and Mallorcan meat dishes of lamb shoulder or roast suckling pig.
One of the best restaurants this side of the island, is right in our local village of Calonge called Bona Taula (Good Table). It is just up our lane, across from the church, the doorway next to Bar Telefono. Unpretentious, you go through the bar and out into the garden of Tomeu’s mother’s old house for a wonderful dinner, cooked by local ladies or Javier on the wood burning grill. Roast half duck, peppered and served with pear and baked potatoes and a grilled tomato is my favorite. Suckling Pig is the best as is Duck Breast or Half Rabbit from the Grill.

Thank you James, that's so nice of you.
We're very pleased you enjoyed our Lovely Farmhouse in Mallorca. Come again.
We had an amazing experience at the finca. The property manager, Marianella, was amazing and invaluable, even in the middle of the night; she was there to answer and help us. The pool is big and clean, and the kids spend most of their time by the pool. The garden is very beautiful and well looked after. Cala Dor is an authentic Majorcan location, just an 8-minute drive from the villa.Definitely will return to this place again.Thank you, John and Marianella.

Best to you and Family,
John and Marianella.
Se Serra Mitjana is a lovely place to stay. The house is spacious but maintains a cosy atmosphere. The kitchen is well equipped and opens onto a verandah which is great for eating on. The gardens are speculator and provide plenty of areas for relaxing. The local village, Calonge, is lovely and only a short walk away. We would absolutely recommend this property

Thank you Rosemary. It was a very warm summer this year and the gardens were struggling. We just had our own well drilled so that helped with the water. We are so pleased you enjoyed our lovely home in Mallorca.
Come again any time please.
It felt like a home, very welcoming and lot's of spaces for everyone to chill at. The garden and the pool was amazing. Would definitely come back if possible. It was a perfect place to celebrate my birthday.
Perfect location for a family with kids of a variety of ages. Lots of space and activities for everyone.
Felt very safe
Good restaurants close by.
Very happy holiday.
Beautiful property fantastic for mixed family groups
Great layout of house and gardens offering focal points for guests to get together in the sun or shade whilst also providing private spaces and quiet areas for other times. Superb for mixed family groups.

Thank you David, that’s nice of you . Please come again.
This ancient farmhouse is a wonderful place to stay. It has the charm you only get when a place has been with the same people for a long time. Rooms are cosy and the garden is splendid. Being just a short drive from great restaurants and beautiful beaches is another bonus. Some bedrooms are on the ground floor make it accessible for wheelchair users.
We all loved it!

So nice to see wonderful revues like this. It gives us much pleasure to know our guests are happy with our “Lovely old farmhouse in Mallorca”. Please come again it gets better each time you visit.
The perfect place for a family with kids and Grandchildren. Close to Cala d‘Or and other nice places. Close to a couple beaches. The property is huge. The garden is wonderful and the pool is great for swimming and chilling.
The rooms are big and the badrooms are mostly new done. The kitchen is a little old, but has everything you need. It has a big fridge and freezer.
We loved it.

Thank you for this Rene’.
We wanted to keep the ambiance and warm vibes of an old farmhouse but needed the comforts of refrigerators ,. Dishwashers and Washer/ Dryers.
Mallorca always runs short of water in the summer months so that is why we had our own wells installed.
Was on holiday with my children and granchildren from age 1 to 65. We have never had such a wonderful holiday. This villa has absoloutely beautiful gardens and between that and the pool it made our holiday. We hardly ever went jnto Cala dor or the beach as none of us wanted to leave the gardens. I would reccomend this place and hopefully we will be able to return next year.

Hello Janet,
Thank you for this review, am so pleased you enjoyed our lovely old farmhouse in Mallorca and please, book again, it’s better than ever.
Warm regards, John.
A wonderful finca - even better than the photos suggest!
A spacious house and gardens with plenty of all-together areas as well as secluded spots for some quiet reading or sunbathing. A fabulous pool, large and well-equipped kitchen (plus a second fridge and chest freezer in the utility room); comfortable bedrooms all with en-suites and a handy self-contained yet integrated annex.
Location is nice and quiet, only a few minutes from the local town of Calonge and a 7-min drive to Cala D’Or.
Clean, well-maintained and homely, it was a brilliant place for our large, 3-generation family holiday - we had a wonderful time.

Fantastic place for a magical family holiday
There is nothing not to like about this spacious and tastefully maintained Finca. It would meet anyone's requirements from a quiet lounge where more elderly relatives can escape the younger members as they play table tennis under the vines, to a great pool which is deep enough for the most active members.
The BBQ area is large enough to cater for an outdoor party for many and the outdoor eating area is equally generous.
The gardens are beautiful and extensive with various areas to sit or lounge in comfort, in sun or shade.
The farmhouse itself has both period features and modern, well appointed bedrooms and ensuites which would match any upmarket hotel. All are airconditioned.
Our whole party, aged from 13-70 years were very reluctant to leave.
We had a wonderful time! We celebrated our 40 years wedding anniversary with our kids and two grandchilds.
The house has a lot of space and has everything you need! the garden is really breathtaking. Swimming pool was also clean and nice. The only thing we would recommend is to change the mattresses and to stabilize the beds. Especially the one in the appartement.
Another negative point was the presence of cockroaches!
The beach and village are nice; you do need a car. It is too far to walk.
We invited a personal cook and had a wine tasting in the beautiful garden!

Stunning Property
This is THE perfect place to vacation with a group of friends or family. The clean house is large and cool and very comfortable with a well equipped kitchen, modern bathrooms and a world class BBQ. The garden and pool area offer plenty of places to relax in and wandering around the huge immaculately maintained english lawn with bare feet brings an enormous child like pleasure.
Set amidst rolling farmlands, the ambience is peaceful with the odd tink tonk of the sheep bells and the estate is very private and secure.
There is a good grocery store nearby and with the delightful town of Cala D'Or less than 10 minutes drive away there are plenty of great options for eating out. Although I personally would rather stay at home cooking magnificent meals and dining under the grape arbor on the beautiful terrace.
Geographically, the estate is located in a beautiful part of Mallorca and there are also plenty of beaches to visit an easy drive away.
Highly recommended - so much so that I hope to return again with my family next year!

Judy and I are very pleased to hear this.
We want to share our lovely old farmhouse, with Friends, Family and nice Guests who appreciate the peace, the warmth and tranquility of Se Serra Mitjana, as much as we do.
We had a wonderful week with 3 generations of family to celebrate our golden wedding anniversary. The farmhouse was very comfortable and location was perfect. We were very grateful for the aircon as the temperature got up to 37 degrees. However the white plastic garden furniture is in urgent need of replacement several dining chairs were broken and some sun loungers were lethal one collapsed as my 3 month pregnant daughter in law lay on it. The dishwasher was on its last legs. I understand that somewhere that accommodates 12 people is going to have a lot of wear and tear but these faults need to be addressed before someone gets hurt. I mentioned it to Marionella and she said she must do something about it. That said we had a fabulous holiday.

Hi Sue,
So nice for you to give us this review, I just found it though a bit late. We did replace all the chairs and loungers and are really on top of it now,.
We were just there, August 2024 and everything was looking good and working. Marianella is really good and professional in looking after the house and her team of ladies who help her, are well trained and consistent.
Please plan another visit with us.
Warm regards,
John.

We Love Se Serra Mitjana
We have stayed at this lovely farmhouse many times. There is a reason that we keep returning... it is a real home. You can feel it. The home is loved for its comfort and cherished for its old world charm. It has been updated but it has not lost its character. It is not stuffy or formal or sterile or void of personality like some other places we've stayed. The magic begins as you drive down the narrow lane to the house. You pass many old farms and other pretty villas along the way. The entrance to Se Serra Mitjana can sneak up on you but the entrance is a beautiful wrought iron electric gate built into nice stone walls. The long driveway is beautifully bordered by more stone walls and gorgeous flowering vegetation. The house itself is quite grand as you approach it. It is, artistically by chance, festooned with clinging, ivy-like greenery with orange trumpet shaped flowers. Most impressive! The grounds are amazing too with the unexpected vast lawns of green and abundant flowering shrubbery everywhere. The pool is very private surrounded by hedges and stone walls. Perfect for a refreshing morning dip or late night escape. The home has 5 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. Most bedrooms are spacious and the bathrooms are to die for! We love that there is air conditioning in the bedrooms when desired but most nights I do not even think that it is needed. One of my favorite things about staying here is what I call, "The sounds of Mallorca at night." I just love listening to the distant, gentle bleating of sheep mixed with the sweet cooing of doves. It is such a peaceful relaxing sound. Along with the soft breezes gently pushing through the open windows, it puts me to sleep right away. Magical. There is also a very nicely equipped casita with a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and lounge. Perfect for guests that might need a bit more privacy. The house is very well equipped for entertaining large crowds for dinner parties. With an abundance of pots, pans, cutlery, dishes, glasses and a welcome dishwasher! There is a terrific BBQ that we have used many times to prepare delicious, succulent meats of all kinds. We have spent many magical evenings under the grape vines drinking and dining till the wee hours. You can tell that the owners have pride of ownership. It is warm, inviting and very clean. It's so nice that they allow others to enjoy the magic of Se Serra Mitjana by sharing it. We truly love this place and will continue to visit! Thank you!

Wow. So pleased to read this, thank you. So many things you remember and noted. It is nice for Judy and I to know our guests see the "little things" around the villa (finca).
We love it to know you want to return. Please come, you are always welcome.
La casa es maravillosa para estar una familia grande, con todas las habitaciones con baño dentro. Con piscina, barbacoa, ping pong y un jardín inmenso. Y localización muy buena cerca de calas preciosas.
Für Familien allerbestens geeignet. Es fehlte an nichts, das Hausmanagement ist hervorragend, der Erholungswert ist perfekt. Wir waren 4 Familien, 13 Personen zwischen 3 und 71 und alles war wegen der Großzügigkeit der Anlage völlig stressfrei. Empfehlung!

Bonita y amplia casa con jardín espectacular y piscina
La casa muy cómoda y una piscina de tamaño perfecto. Barbacoa muy buena. El mayor problema, las hormigas, que estaban en todas partes. Muy buen servicio de soporte, ya que nos cambiaron el lavavajillas (que estaba roto) y fumigaron la casa (aunque volvieron las hormigas a los dos días). Se nota una poco de falta de mantenimiento al ser antigua, pero aún así, muy contentos!

We were just there and it was perfect.
So pleased you had a nice time, come again.
Thank you, we love it also. So peaceful there in the country side.
