Request a room overlooking the square and ask about natural light; rear rooms may have no views.
Guests are particularly keen on the old-town setting, with Palma’s restaurants, cafés and sights close enough to reach easily on foot. The rooftop terrace and pool stand out as a pleasant place to take a break, while the self-catering apartment format appeals to travellers who like independence. This is better suited to a city stay than a full-service resort experience, however, and guests considering a ground-floor apartment may want to check its layout and privacy before booking.

Request a room overlooking the square and ask about natural light; rear rooms may have no views.
Choose a room in the main building rather than the extension, which was converted from a shop.
Can Blau Homes is a small, characterful Palma base rather than a conventional hotel: an 18th-century thread factory thoughtfully remade into five polished apartments. The feel is quietly elegant and residential, with Mediterranean light, self-catering convenience and a rooftop terrace that adds a welcome escape above the old-town streets. There’s a small pool, sun loungers and views across Palma, plus useful touches including beach towels, umbrellas, a shared laundry room and a library corner.
You’re right in Palma’s lively historic centre, close to Plaza Mayor, food markets, shops and the city’s endlessly tempting mix of tapas bars, cafés and late-night spots. Bar Bosch, Cappuccino, Can Joan de S’Aigo and Abaco are all nearby, while buses and trains are about four minutes away on foot. The beach is around a 15-minute walk, and the airport is roughly 12 km away. It suits independent travellers, couples and city-break guests who want a central base with space to settle in; parking and bicycles are available subject to availability.
Guests especially value the address, which makes exploring on foot wonderfully easy, and the rooftop is a frequently appreciated perk after a day in the city. The apartment-style set-up is also a plus for those who prefer to cook or keep their own schedule. Ground-floor accommodation and in-room TV are among the practical details guests mention, so it is worth choosing the apartment layout that best fits your stay.
