Rent a small car; it is essential for reaching the hotel, navigating narrow roads, visiting nearby villages, and accessing the ample parking.
Guests are especially fond of Son Ametler’s tranquil countryside setting, with the Tramuntana views, attractive pool and welcoming honesty bar repeatedly standing out. Breakfast and dinner earn warm comments, and the staff are widely seen as kind and attentive. It is also a popular choice for cyclists looking to explore nearby routes. The main practical consideration is its rural Moscari location: a hire car is useful for exploring beyond the hotel, so it will suit a quiet escape better than a stay centred on busy resort life.
Real advice grouped by theme — drawn from guest reviews of Son Ametler.
Rent a small car; it is essential for reaching the hotel, navigating narrow roads, visiting nearby villages, and accessing the ample parking.
Request a room with a terrace; only four rooms have terraces, which make the most of the views.
Choose a suite for extra space, excellent appointments, and particularly good views.
Request a room with a large balcony for open views and a more attractive outlook.
Book dinner or bed and breakfast; the chef serves varied, excellent-value food, and no restaurants are within walking distance.
Request an east-facing room for greater quiet and cooler evenings; ground-floor east-facing rooms have shaded terraces.
Choose Room 5 for a garden outlook; it is a good-value option even without a terrace.
Request Room 7 for its roof terrace and panoramic views.
Book in the newer part of the Finca for modern rooms and first-floor balconies.
Check the outlook when booking and request a mountain-facing room, since some rooms overlook the car park.
Use the Wi-Fi downstairs, where it may be more reliable.
Book the interconnected family room for convenient access between bedrooms.
Visit charming nearby villages such as Selva.
Ask for ground-floor Room 2 if you want a pleasant terrace.
Use the hotel as a base for hiking in the surrounding woods and mountains.
Choose one of the two top-floor rooms for a private terrace.
Request Room 10 if available; it was considered outstanding.
Leave time to relax at the hotel instead of filling your itinerary with activities.
Consider Room 7 or 8 for a first-floor balcony.
Expect limited bathroom facilities in the small room at the top of the stairs; it has a bidet but no bath or jacuzzi.
Request corner suite 15 for two balconies with morning and evening sun.
Choose a first-floor room for especially lovely views.
Plan an alternative for Sunday evening, when the hotel does not offer restaurant service.
Son Ametler feels like the Mallorca many people hope to find: a beautifully restored manor house with real rural character, set among almond, fig and lemon trees beneath the Tramuntana foothills. It is polished without feeling stiff, with a peaceful, small-scale atmosphere, handsome balconies and views that encourage lingering over a drink or an unhurried afternoon by the pool. The hotel’s attentive team adds to the sense of being genuinely looked after.
In Moscari, on the quieter side of the island, it makes an excellent base for exploring the mountains and northern Mallorca by car. The setting is especially appealing for cyclists, with rewarding routes close by, while the village-and-country location suits couples and travellers seeking a restful retreat more than those wanting nightlife within walking distance. Hiring a car is the practical choice for getting around and making the most of the area.
Guests often single out the fabulous pool, the relaxed honesty bar and the quality of both breakfast and dinner. Many describe stays of several nights as hard to leave, praising the calm setting, warm service and mountain backdrop. It is the kind of place where the little details—good food, cool rooms in summer and space to slow down—seem to matter as much as the scenery.
