Dalt Murada, Spain: Mallorca, Overview

DALT MURADA - REVIEW

A 16th century mansion, just yards from Palma's magnificent cathedral, Hotel Dalt Murada is tucked away in a peaceful alley. In medieval times it belonged to one of Mallorca's most important families. Later it became the residence of the Bestard de la Torre family who have spent the last few years transforming their home into an elegant yet friendly small hotel.

Much of the original character has been retained: high beamed ceilings, old portraits and antique furniture (including some beautiful Mallorquin beds); while private jacuzzis, satellite television and dedicated internet lines, bring the hotel into the 21st-century. There's a large leafy courtyard filled with lemon and orange trees, perfect for alfresco breakfasts, and a host of excellent restaurants and tapas bars within walking distance. Palma makes an ideal short break and Dalt Murada the perfect retreat for both romantics and families.

HIGHS

The central location: behind the magnificent cathedral and within easy walking distance of Palma's boutiques, restaurants and harbour
The huge guest rooms, many with separate sitting rooms, that won't break the bank
If you want to hide away, the large Penthouse suite with it's private roof terrace is ideal
The unpretentious and friendly service

LOWS

As with most places in Palma's old quarter, the narrow lanes make it impossible to park nearby. We took our own car and arrived in a temper - take a taxi instead and let the taxi driver get frustrated!
First impressions - the entrance is so low key you can easily miss it. Don't expect a 24-hour reception desk or concierge
It lacks the beautiful public rooms of the nearby Palacio Ca Sa Galesa but the guest rooms are twice the size and half the price
No pool
