Betlem & its neighbour, Colonia Sant Pere, are off the mainstream visitor map. Hence, they are still uncommercialised & quiet.
The house is excellently equipped & has everything one needs. The main bedroom opens onto a large, sunny balcony overlooking the mountains &, in the distance, the sea. Itâs a relaxing place to sit & drink oneâs morning cup of tea.
The lounge opens onto a patio area with a small enclosed, private garden which gives shade.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here in a lovely house.
Having just returned from a wonderful relaxing week in this lovely house in Betlem we were compelled to write our review whilst still very fresh in our minds.
Having had a hectic start to the year we were looking for a restful retreat to get away from it all. This is exactly what we found at Lisa and Lambertoâs house in Betlem. From the minute we opened up the door to look out at the wonderful mountain and sea views we knew we had found it. So quiet you could hear goats on the mountainside and the sea in the distance. The house had everything we needed and the pool was fabulous. We stocked up at the supermarket in Colonia sant Pere which had a good selection of bread,meats, fruit and vegetables (and wine). In the mornings we could pop along to the small supermarket in Betlem for bread and essentials. We ate out a few times in the two local restaurants and can recommend both. We also enjoyed all the kitchen facilities as we cooked a lot, everything we needed was supplied. A trip to Cala Mesquida and Arta and coastal walks were as much as we could manage. We begrudgingly thoroughly recommend this house and the area and would love to retur
We had great two weeks in this marvellous apartment house in really quiet and calm Betlem, last village before the natural park starts at its Western side. The house is spacious on two floors, nicely furnitured and very well equipped. It has a terrace with a small garden behind it on the lower floor (where spacious living room with open kitchen are located). In addition, there is a very nice and large balcony on the upper floor (where the bedrooms are located) with a nice view on the mountains and a bit on the sea. The communication with Lisa and Lamberto was always quick, kind and easy, all info provided very helpful and they were keen on making our stay as enjoyable as possible. Also the housekeeper Monika was very friendly and helpful. Nice private pool is nearby that is used by the tenants of a couple of houses in the area. A restaurant and a cafe that also sells bread and some few basic food items are in 1 min walking distance. Another restaurant is in 10 mins walking distance - but that's all you will find in Betlem. A small Spar supermarket can be found in the next village, about 10 min by car. Larger supermarkets are located in Can Picafort, c. 25 min by car. For getting around, a car is an absolutely must. Also to note: There is no sand beach in Betlem directly - one small, but very nice beach is a 20 min walk away into the natural park (you need to climb down the steep coast), directly next to the village are a few small, mostly pebbly coves where one can also climb down and spend some nice hours at an almost private spot. During the nights mosquito protection was also a must in (an already pretty hot) May - we had to suffer a bit in the first nights
Wir waren fĂŒr knapp 3 Wochen in dem Ferienhaus in Betlem. Alles war sauber und gepflegt. Es waren reichlich Utensilien in der KĂŒche vorhanden, so dass man richtig kochen konnte. Der Pool war gepflegt und meist sehr leer. In der NĂ€he ist leider kein richtiger Sandstrand, aber viele kleine Buchten aus Kies und Fels.
Negativ war lediglich eine MĂŒckenplage vor Ort, die einen leider auch TagsĂŒber nicht in Ruhe gelassen hat. Aber dafĂŒr kann der Vermieter natĂŒrlich nichts.
Uns hat alles gefallen Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt im Haus ! Kommunikation war super man hat immer schnell Antwortet bekommen .Im Haus sind paarmal Sicherung rausgeflogen ! Deswegen rate ich nicht vielen Quellen auf einmal zu benutzen! Pool war groĂ sauber und nicht ĂŒberfĂŒllt ! Umgebung und StrĂ€nde sind Mega!!! SonnenuntergĂ€nge könnte man fast in jeder Bucht genieĂen!
Wie wĂŒrden wieder kommen !
Sehr schöne Finca mit viel Platz, Garten, Gemeinschaftspool und Tennisplatz!
Wir sind als Paar mit Baby und den GroĂeltern angereist.
Vor der Finca sind genĂŒgend ParkplĂ€tze vorhanden. Im Dorf selbst gibt es 2 Restaurants. Wenn man etwas mehr Action möchte, fĂ€hrt man ins nĂ€chste Dorf. Ansonsten sind viele und schöne AktivitĂ€ten in nĂ€herer Umgebung.
Rundum ein toller Familienurlaub.
In het huis was het aardig toeven. Helaas, was er op de eerst verdieping nauwelijks warm water en hebben we zelfs een dag zonder water gezeten.
Vanuit het terras keken we tegen een hoge heg wat jammer was.
wir hatten einen sehr schönen Urlaub hier in Betlem. die Finca ist sehr schön und gross. Es gibt genug Platz fĂŒr eine Familie mit 2-3Kindern. Das Haus war sehr sauber und top eingerichtet. Bis auf den GeschirrspĂŒler war alles in Ordnung aber dann wurde halt mal wieder mit Hand abgewaschen, ist ja Urlaub. Es gab auch deutsche Fernsehsender. Der SĂŒsswasserpool (Gemeinschaftspool) ist riesig, sehr sauber und zu keiner Zeit ĂŒberfĂŒllt. Das Restaurant El Cato in unmittelbarer NĂ€he von ca. 50m ist ein absolutes muss. Wir wurden selten so nett bewirtet und habe auch selten so gut gegessen. Also rund um ein schöner Urlaub. Einzig kleines Ăbel ist der Tennisplatz genau vor der Terrasse! da wurde bereits 8:00Uhr mit GebrĂŒll Tennis gespielt und auch die BĂ€lle landeten schonmal auf dem FrĂŒhstĂŒckstisch und Abends das gleiche Spiel wieder von vorn...aber dafĂŒr kann ja der Vermieter nichts! vlt. hatten wir auch einfach nur sehr viele Tennisspieler in der Zeit hier. Das ist auch der einzige Abzug den man geben kann ansonsten war es eigentlich perfekt.
We really enjoyed our stay at this nice house. It's comfortable, clean and quiet. The pool area is wonderful and was not too busy even in July. The air conditioning kept us cool at night. We appreciated all the beach toys for the kids. Thank you!

Die Finca befindet sich in Betlem, einem sehr ruhigen Ărtchen an der NordostkĂŒste Mallorcas. Hier gibt es lediglich 2 Restaurants und einen kleinen Minimarkt.
Wir waren zu zweit in der Finca und konnten uns richtig ausbreiten. Hier finden locker 4-6 Leute Platz.
Es hat uns an nichts gemangelt. KĂŒchenequipment und die Auststattung der Finca sind sehr gut. Das absolute Highlight fĂŒr uns war der Tennisplatz, welchen wir nutzen durften ( TennisschlĂ€ger und BĂ€lle waren in der Finca ). Am Pool kann man es sich auch auf der Liege bequem machen und hat einen groĂartigen Blick auf die Berge.
Von der Finca aus kann man einen schönen Ausflug zu einer bezaubernden Bucht, entlang eines hĂŒbschen KĂŒstenwanderwegs machen.
Wir fanden unseren Aufenthalt hier wunderschön. Gut fĂŒr Leute die auf der Suche nach Ruhe und Entspannung sind. Der Nachbarort Colonia de Sant Pere ist sehr hĂŒbsch. Hier gibt es einen Supermarkt und man kann gut essen und die Surfer beim Wellenreiten im Licht der untergehenden Sonne beobachten.
Lovely little property in a beautiful quiet village with a great coastline. Well positioned, well catered for and in good upkeep. Walks on the coast line are lovely, the shop just up the road is well stocked and the pool fantastically large (albeit a little chilly on cooler days!)
Lovely, relaxing holiday in a beautiful environment. The house was a great base to explore the area - if you enjoy walking, hiking, swimming, picnics at little coves, there are walking trails along the coast just nearby. The area is very quiet and peaceful.
We also enjoyed the tennis court and the pool, and the barbecue in the garden. It was the perfect balance between an active holiday and a relaxing one.
I especially appreciated how organised everything was in the house - information was provided on every appliance, recycling etc. it made us feel very well looked after even if we didn't meet the hosts. Thank you for sharing your beautiful house with us, we had a lovely time.
GemĂŒtliche und gut ausgestattete Finka in ruhiger Umgebung
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in der sehr gut ausgestatteten Finca mit unseren beiden Kindern sehr genossen. Der Ort liegt am Meer mit tollem Blick auf die Berge - nur ein kinderfreundlicher Strand in fuĂlĂ€ufiger NĂ€he fehlt. Also rundum sehr zu empfehlen!
Magical mix of mountains and undeveloped coastline with easy access to more developed beaches
Something for everyone - incredibly picturesque setting with several great coves within walking distance, perfect for sunbathing and swimming/snorkelling. Only 10-20min drive for more developed beaches. Also easy access from end of village into coastal and mountain walks. Shared pool is great for kids and adults and has great views of the local mountains. Tennis court a bonus. Villa is very spacious with open plan downstairs and 2 bedrooms with balconies and air conditioning upstairs. Its a 55-60min easy drive from palma. Hope to return in the future.
Die Finca ist schön und sehr gut ausgestattet. Es gibt eine Terrasse mit Garten im Erdgeschoss und eine sehr schöne Dachterrasse mit Meerblick. Leider stehen auf der Dachterrasse keine Möbel und es gibt keinen Sonnenschutz, so dass diese kaum genutzt werden kann. Der Ort ist abseits des Massentourismus gelegen, hat aber einen kleinen Supermarkt und zwei Restaurants. Der Pool ist sehr groĂ und war auch in der Hauptsaison nicht ĂŒberfĂŒllt. Im Sommer gibt es auch genĂŒgend Sonne am Pool und an der Finca.
Eigentlich sehr gute Voraussetzungen fĂŒr einen erholsamen Urlaub. Allerdings wurde unser Urlaub durch erheblichen BaulĂ€rm getrĂŒbt. Direkt neben der Finca war eine Baustelle, die den Aufenthalt an der Finca an Werktagen zwischen 8.00 und 16:00 Uhr unertrĂ€glich gemacht hat. Die Vermieter haben sich leider nicht entgegenkommend gezeigt und sich darauf berufen, dass die Baustelle nicht durch sie verursacht wurde. Daher nur sehr eingeschrĂ€nkt zu empfehlen
Thoroughly enjoyed our time in the villa and in Betlem. The property was ideal for our family of five and we enjoyed the small private garden and the diverse nationalities and friendly local atmosphere of the pool. Although there was a small drive from Betlem to the main road, the benefit of this was the sleepy charm and tranquil nature of the village away from the crowds. The location was ideal to explore the north and eastern coastlines.
Lovely house, the view to the mountains and the sea is breathtaking.
The house is baby friendly which was perfect for our needs.
Nice area, quite, really close to the sea. We enjoyed late dinners on the porch also late swimming sessions in the pool after going out.
The weather was great, only one day was cloudy but this did not stop from using the pool, which was not crowded at any time.
I'm British and have spent my holidays in Spain for the last 20 years. I met my husband there and we have a daughter. We try to go to Mallorca as much as possible, often in the spring and autumn.
I lived and taught in Mallorca for a year and absolutely love the island. I still have good friends here and it was they who introduced us to the charms of Betlem and Colonia San Pere, far from the crowded resorts. We love coming here. As you get closer to Betlem the rural scenery is more and more beautiful - olive, almond and fig trees abound - and then I see the mountains rising up against the blue sky and I know we'll see the sea in a few more minutes. Our daughter can't wait to get into the pool or play in the waves at Colonia San Pere even in November and March! When I wake up the first morning and see the mountains and sea, I know I've got away from it all.
The house is a joy to be in. We love having a good coffee and fresh orange juice for breakfast out on the terrace. If we want a day at home we can go for gentle strolls along the coast or more energetic hikes into the hills or just lie by the pool with a good book. A stroll down for lunch or an ice-cream on the terrace at a local restaurant is a treat for our daughter and game of tennis in the late afternoon with dinner and a beer on the terrace is a nice way to finish the day. We love exploring too and go on various day trips to local beaches, our favourite being Playa de Muro. ArtĂĄ is always a pleasure to amble around and have a meal there. There are lots of things to do and see all within an easy day trip including Palma.
