Ivy-cloaked and dotted with shuttered windows, Son Net may not have the quintessential turrets of a castle, but that doesn’t mean it feels any less grand. Inside, stone arches support original wooden beams as portraits of nobility look on from their frames. And windows border sweeping views of the mountains and nearby Puigpunyet village.

There’s contrasting comfort in its grandiosity though. Plush cushions on strategically angled sofas tempt a sit down; the four-poster beds are difficult to leave despite the myriad of corners to explore; and pool loungers shaded by emerald green cabanas provide pockets of privacy around an otherwise social area.

While appealing to couples ready to steal themselves away, families don’t have it half bad here. A stone’s throw from the main building, the two-bedroom Pool Cottage House is a microcosm in its own right with its own pool and garden. Meanwhile, the four Pool Cottage Suites combine to make an inter-generational voyage’s dream.

In terms of things to do, it’s more about spending the time to reconnect. But children can visit the farm where there are some four-legged friends to meet and a dedicated kids’ pool to cool off in.
