“Then it was off to a sublime, restored town house in Sineu, a pretty rural town in central Mallorca…. Here, Peter Berkley’s tasteful home has been sympathetically designed to cater for travellers who yearn to learn to paint and write.”
Respected travel writer Ken Bennett recently experienced for himself the Mediterranean Cookery Course that Balearic Discovery organise, using our house for accommodation and its excellent kitchen. In September, his report appeared in several UK regional newspapers, among them the Liverpool Echo and the Birmingham Mail - see links below for the full story:

"Guests will tour the food markets of Palma, and under the expert guidance of Tyrone Power - an ex-Rolling Stone tour chef - learn to cook fish and meat, prepare marinades and pastes, and produce a full-blown dinner-party feast. Accommodation is in a restored town house in Sineu, a pretty rural town in central Mallorca."

“Mallorca is finding its way onto the world’s art map. Yes, it has more galleries per capita than anywhere in the world. Yes, it’s worth a grand tour.”

“With the increase of savvy, independent travellers…the emphasis is now on quality. Beyond Mallorca’s sun-drenched coastlines, there’s a richness of landscape that is breathtaking in its diversity...inland on the central plain of Es Pla, there are ancient windmills, meadows, rustic farms and isolated villages.”

“Es Pla (The Plain) retains the languid, unruffled air of an agricultural hinterland, its bucolic landscape punctuated by various monastery-topped hills and speckled with handsome stone built settlements.
The gracious central town of Sineu probably makes the best base…cycling is the most relaxed way of exploring the quiet country roads of the plain.”
