Can Mateu, Palma Overview
Can Mateu is located in Palma, Spain. Rated 9.9 out of 10 based on 6 guest reviews.
Can Mateu is a standout stay in Palma, Spain, suited to travelers who want space, privacy, and an easy base for exploring the island. Guests consistently rate it 9.9/10, and the small number of reviews points to a calm, well-kept property where hosts pay attention to the details that make arrivals and departures smooth. The address is listed as Polígono 5 parcela 52, so you’ll be in a more out-of-town setting while still having Palma within reach by car.
Inside, the layout is designed for groups and family life, with five bedrooms and a shared lounge/TV area that gives everyone a place to regroup. Outdoors, the terrace, solarium, and BBQ facilities make it practical to spend time outside without needing to plan every evening around restaurants. Air conditioning helps when Palma’s days get warm, and the property also supports non-smoking stays, which many guests value for comfort.
For sightseeing, you can drive to Palma’s historic core and key landmarks such as the Catedral de Mallorca (about 14 km) and the waterfront area around Parc de la Mar and Port de Palma (around 13 km). If you want panoramic views, Castell de Bellver is roughly 17 km away and works well for a half-day outing.
Best for families and road-trip travelers who prefer a quieter base with free parking and a tour desk to help shape day trips, Can Mateu is less about walk-in city convenience and more about settling in, then heading out on your own schedule.

Should You Book Can Mateu?
Worth booking if you value privacy, space, and a calm, well-kept base in Palma—guest feedback is exceptionally strong (9.9/10). The main trade-off is that the property is not positioned as a walk-everywhere city-center stay, so you’ll likely rely on transport for sights.
