Es Raco D'Arta

I knew we were in for a treat the moment we entered through the gate. The entire hotel is a special moment. It doesn't matter if you are at the front entrance, driving up the grounds, standing at the top of the stairs to the spa, or sitting on the patio for dinner - the architectural detail combined with the natural element construction creates a thought-provoking moment. The view from every place I stood could have been the cover of Architectural Digest. And then you get to your room. Our casita, 29 I believe, had everything you would need to live a comfortable life for the rest of your days. Want to soak in the tub? Want to shower inside, but with unobstructed sky above? Want close comfort with your partner, but also separate sinks, closets and storage space? Its there for you. Want it all with powerful minimalism so your mind and thoughts can fill the empty space? Also there for you. What if you want to step outside or you room onto a natural hardscape surrounded by native plants to have a glass of wine while enjoying the view? Its there! And that's just your room. Want yoga or mediation in the morning? Complimentary. Want a fresh, organic breakfast curated from local farmers and artisans? Complimentary. I've truly never experienced a more rejuvenating place to stay. As the name suggests, you'll fall in love with this little corner of Arta. Thank you for making this a beautiful stay for our honeymoon. We are forever grateful for this experience and look forward to coming back again soon.

The hotel and its grounds are absolutely stunning. Sadly, as I can see from other reviews, the restaurant menu and the quality of good in the evenings let it down. That said the breakfast was outstanding and couldn’t be better. The menu in the evenings was limited and sadly uninspiring. Sadly when the food arrived, which took a long time, the quality and flavour was not what we expected. If the restaurant offering was improved ( as the setting and ambience was stunning) we would definitely return but otherwise wouldn’t. We are more than happy to pay for excellent food but I’m afraid it did not deliver Another small suggestion would be to review the toiletries in the room - the body lotion smelt terrible and the shampoo wouldn’t lather Arrival - like other guests have commented we arrived to a dusty deserted carpark but no idea how to get to the main hotel with our luggage. We flagged down a member of staff who pointed out an intercom but then we’re stood for circa 10 minutes waiting for a van to cone and collect us - for a luxury hotel there should be a much better experience on arrival Finally we have never had a request for feedback from the hotel either on checkout or after returning home. I think they could gain valuable insight if the proactively requested feedback so they have the chance to act on this All that said, the hotel, the decor, the ambience was stunning - so much potential if the common areas of feedback are addressed p

This place- I cried. With happiness. Breathe they say here. But they don't need to say it. It just happens. Naturally. Like everything else... The space has a magic of its own. They wanted to create paradise and they have absolutely achieved that. 500 acres of freedom. Set in 13th century farmland. It helps that everything is white. From the interior of the ancient farmhouse and the other fincas to the work clothes of the staff. A 5 star well-being retreat extraordinary. Nothing is too much trouble no matter what time of day. They invite you to be at one with your surroundings. Simple, yes if you allow yourself to let go. Do as much or as little as you like. Listen within and simply be. It doesn't matter who and what you are. You are more than welcome. The staff want to be here. Be part of it all. The team and the place. A place of belonging. For us for a little while. And we are grateful for it. Soaking up as much as we can. Knowing it will last because you take it with you. In your heart. Thank you.

Nestled in an unspoiled oasis of olive groves and vineyards, Es Racò d’Arte delivers on the promise of connecting its guests to the essence and tranquility of nature. Blending minimalist design with soft neutral colors and natural materials of stone, wood, linen and jute, the resort succeeds masterfully in creating an airy sense of well-being. This place is beautiful and we loved the discreet and sober elegance emanating from every room. We wanted to love everything about the hotel but didn’t . . . . What they didn’t deliver was a level of 5 star service in the restaurant. While friendly and informal, the quality of the service was inconsistent - frequently not greeting guests when they entered, loud noises emanating from the kitchen with dishes banging and staff talking loudly amongst themselves, lack of knowledge about wines, forgetting to bring bread, or olive oil or extra plates when sharing entrees. . . During our stay there was a retreat with a large group of guests, and there were also several guests with young children , creating an atmosphere of a noisy cafeteria, rather than a quiet and relaxed space to enjoy dinner . The restaurant is need of a competent F&B Manager. There should be a dedicated room for families so that couples can enjoy a quiet space for themselves. Guests on a retreat should also have their own room separate from the restaurant so as not to disturb other guests. Es Racò d’Artà has a lot of potential and we hope they will live up to what they promise.
