Casa Mana: Finca to Rent in Binissalem, Mallorca

Slow Days in Mallorca’s Wine Country

Casa Mana is an old Mallorcan finca on six hectares of olive, carob and fruit trees outside Binissalem, with the Tramuntana mountains right behind it. Two local photographers restored it slowly, keeping the golden stone walls and old beams and adding very little. There's a 15 metre saltwater pool, shaded terraces and a covered outdoor kitchen, and the house makes more power from its own solar panels than it uses.

Living Spaces

The living room has beamed ceilings, an open fireplace, underfloor heating and doors straight onto the terrace. The dining room sits around a big round table under a sculptural hanging lamp. There's also a quiet reading room with stone walls, and the entrance hall still has its original stone and an old round cistern. Starlink wifi reaches every room, the terraces and the pool.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms

Four bedrooms sleep eight. The master suite is upstairs, with a king bed, its own bathroom, a freestanding bath and views over the garden to the mountains. Downstairs, a double opens onto the garden and has its own bathroom. Upstairs there's also a twin and another double that share a bathroom. Every room has its own air conditioning and heating, and a cot and high chair are available.

The Environment

The 15 metre saltwater pool is solar heated to about 28 degrees from mid March to mid November, with thatched parasols and a view of the mountains. Next to it is a covered outdoor kitchen with a barbecue, fridge, sink and seating. Covered terraces, an outdoor lounge and a soft, open garden run around the house, and beyond that it's all olive and carob trees. There's private parking on site.

The Location

Binissalem is the centre of Mallorca's wine country, a stone village with bodegas you can visit and a good Friday market. Palma and Alcúdia are both about 25 minutes away, Valldemossa and Pollença about 30, and Sóller a little further. The finca sits out among the groves, so you'll want a car.
