La Residencia is a luxurious rustic Mediterranean resort. It's in the slightly-sleepy but incredibly beautiful and charming mountain town of Deia. I ate at La Residencia's Cafe Miro for lunch. Although it was a weekday, it was highly suggested that we make reservations for lunch, and so we did. The experience was positively unforgettable. When we arrived, we were very warmly greeted and taken to our seats. Shortly after, a sommelier greeted us and made some suggestions, though we decided to stick to non-alcoholic beverages for our lunch. Then our server came and provided us with a plethora of information and suggestions. Everyone working here was so nice and professional, the most top-notch service I've ever gotten for lunch. I ordered the grilled angus beef, and my fiance ordered the grilled tuna loin. Both of our dishes were delicious! The house-made cheesecake was suggested to us, and so we ordered it; it was worth it! Light, fluffy, gourmet cheesecake. The views and ambiance were spectacular. Our table overlooked the resort, nestled within the mountains, with a peek of the Mediterranean sea. Definitely the best lunch experience we've ever had!

ALSO, fabulous, knowledgeable restaurant sommelier (first female sommelier in Mallorca!). She made our dinners EXTRAORDINARY with her spot-on wine selections and warm personality.

We enjoyed the amazing view from our terrace, where we had the whole valley in front of us and loved the sound of the bells of the goats.

When we were in Mallorca, we had so many amazing meals. The one that we had a Cas X'orc stands out…read moreas one of the best meals that we had during our entire trip! Cas X'orc is a local Finca (or hacienda or plantation) that is located at the top of the mountain and overlooks the valley below. The views here are incredible!! We made a reservation at their restaurant, which is a converted olive oil mill. The restaurant is so quaint and when you walk in they had a roaring fire going (this was during the fall - I'm sure that would not happen during the summer months!). WHAT WE ORDERED: Assortment of homemade breads: This fabulous assortment of homemade breads, including sourdough - my fav! This was served with an herb butter, aioli, and fresh hummus. Don't forget about their fresh homemade olive oil! Mughal chicken korma served with Pappadum and spicy rice: This delicious dish was the perfect medley of chicken tikka masala with a Mediterranean flare. Carob Waffle, Almond Ice Cream and "Palo" Sauce: If you're ordering dessert, might as well go all out and get the coffee too! Please don't be like my husband though and stay up all night when you have a 6 am flight..lmao. This is also posted on my website where I do foodie blog posts and travel itineraries.

I loved meeting the donkeys and sheep during my walk along the gardens and adored the authentic, yet chic old-world farm feel. If you are very disturbed by a faint farm smell, this might not be the place for you. The staff were incredibly nice, welcoming and accommodating to me. They spoke English very well and answered emails promptly. They also arranged high-quality transfers to and from the airport making travel a breeze. The dinners were pricey but top quality. They even catered to my gluten-free needs and always brought a warm piece of gluten-free bread to my table without me having to ask. The hiking trails are world-class, easy to find from the hotel and well-marked. Only a 1.5 hour hike down to the ocean. It was heaven. My only complaint that necessitates 4 stars instead of 5 was that the room was VERY noisy at night. Granted I go to bed earlier than most Europeans (10pm) but my "superior" room (one upgrade from standard) was right above the main entrance and restaurant and also faced the kitchen. The windows were thin and must have zero noise barriers as I could hear everything outside as if it was happening inside my room including clanging plates and kitchen noise. Although I thought it was cute and charming that the sheep somehow ended up causing a ruckus outside my window the first night, I was less impressed to hear the noisy large groups of restaurant guests talking and laughing in the lobby beyond midnight. I actually had to use my earplugs just to dampen the noise enough to sleep. If you decide to stay, request one of the rooms at the back or one of the private garden cottages - this should ensure a much more tranquil experience.
