S’Hotelet de Santanyi

A friend and I just returned from a 2-​week vacation in Spain. Last on our list of destinations was Santanyi. Santanyi is a picturesque village, to the south of the island, with great rustic charm accompanied by sun and sea. What made our trip even better was staying at S’Hotelet de Santanyi.
S’Hotelet de Santanyi is an upscale, small hotel (5 suites) perfectly located around a corner from the main square. The hotel overall is stylish and classy. The rooms are gracefully decorated in a lovely Mediterranean style. Everything was exceptionally clean with BVLGARI toiletries in the bathroom for added luxury! We stayed in the Lavanda room on the third floor, which shares a sitting area and a roof top deck with one other room. Lucky for us, nobody was booked in the other room so we had the entire floor to ourselves.
The town’s slow-​pace was perfect to come back to from a day at the beach — sun bathing, swimming and drinking chilled glasses of rosé. It was easy to get to the beaches. There are signs everywhere and the drive was only about 15 minutes. The manager, Javier, was very helpful in guiding us to the local beaches and recommending restaurants for food and drinks. Bueno, Javier!
The breakfast was the highlight of our mornings. No matter how tired we felt, we would pull ourselves out of bed each morning at 10:00am, which was the time we chose when asked when we would like to have breakfast each morning. Only half-​awake, we would float down the stairs guided only by our visions of cafés con leche, fresh fruit, delicious breads, marmalade, meats and pastries. Our server always greeted us with her beautiful smile and a «Buenos Dias». The entire breakfast experience was heaven. It feels as though we were there yesterday.

Santanyi and S’hotelet de Santanyi was definitely the highlight of our trip to Spain, «A place like no other». I look forward to returning someday!
