Beautiful old country house - Beautiful old country house. Interior very interesting. Lovely location. Animals outside not so good, they were in good condition but the pens were very bare. But the house is well worth a visit.

Gladly again! - Super nice and in really great condition. You would love to move in straight away. 🥰 We've been here for the second time and it was absolutely great again!

Worthwhile visit - This house gives a great insight into Mallorcan life in earlier centuries. There is a lot to discover in the rooms. The outdoor area also houses animals (goats, poultry, sheep, donkeys and pigs). We felt that the animals had enough space and, above all, shade. We never had the impression of animal welfare being endangered that other reviews mentioned. The entrance fee was €10, which we thought was justified. Despite it being high season, we had the museum to ourselves.

A beautiful bourgeois house to visit - Beautiful well maintained bourgeois house. A life-size museum that interested children (7 and 13 years old). We appreciated the kindness of the hosts. The animals looked good contrary to what was read elsewhere and they had lots of babies which also delighted the children. The road to reach it is very narrow in some places and some drive very fast.

Very pretty, the exterior could be improved - The house very well preserved, pleasantly surprised. I didn't like the exterior that much, the animals don't seem very well cared for, the dog, tied with a chain that limits his movement and doesn't let him enter the hut (very cool and well built, by the way, with a porch, pots and pans) for water and food...) It seems quite comfortable for the furry guardian, but it is of little use if he cannot access it. The entrance price is cheap for how well preserved the house is, but I wouldn't mind having paid more to see the animals in better condition.

Authentic - We were very impressed by the manor house, it seemed authentic to us and - unlike many other such facilities - was also completely and in our opinion originally furnished. You could really imagine how people lived there back then. We couldn't understand the many negative comments about keeping animals, the animals didn't look neglected and they had space and shade.

Pleasant visit - Perfectly pleasant and interesting way to while away a couple of hours. Beautiful countryside, very pretty villa and interesting (and cool🌡️) interior. In regards to the comments about the animals: it is the Mediterranean, and their animal husbandry is different to more temperate countries. You don't get lush grass like you do in more northern countries. Yes, I would personally liked to have seen all the animals in the yard have some fibre to be munching on. But the pens were clearly immaculate that morning, and you can see they are turned out overnight into a paddock. As for the horse and the donks - they are just fine. The horse is very well covered, and all 3 had very good barefoot feed which is a good sign they are being properly cared for (and shouldn't be on lush grass). All animals had shade, all animals had water. The only thing I was surprised at was the orange grove and the volume of fruit that'd been allowed to drop. Maybe it was bitter orange, but looked like an eating orange, which could've been utilized in the museum food/drink offerings maybe.

Medium - The building is sober and well suited for exhibition. There are not many works by the artist in relation to the volume he has produced. However, the library is very well provided, if you love art, or could stay for hours. The garden is too small and Miro's house: it's very average, it's frustrating. Poor development.

Spanish Noble House - 1750 - The estate belonged to a Spanish noble family and dates from 1750. You can buy tickets online or at the bar. They were unable to take card payments at the bar. We were given an information sheet (in English) with a sentence or two on each of the main rooms in the house. Part way through the numbering on the information sheet was different to that of the rooms (after the kitchen - I think). The house was interesting with many fine objects. While we were there two coach parties also arrived but this was not a problem as they only stayed for about 30 minutes. Outside there was a seating area, garden area, barns, and birds/animals. The animals seemed in slightly better condition than described below - but there is room for further improvement.

Animal welfare ignored - The museum is a little neglected. I was there a few years ago. What I find very bad is that they keep a chain dog there for the evening nobody takes home. He's usually chained up and barely on the loose. I asked for it. It ruined my vacation.
