The Adrover Family became established in this area during the 17th century when the danger of raids from North African pirates began to diminish. The house and its family became known as Can Bessol, from the diminutive of "bassa" (little lake). Since that time every generation of the family has lived on the land, adapting to the requirements of each age. In 1997 the two young members of the family, Toni and Jaume, who now own and run the property, started to restore their grandparents' old home including the hayloft, stables and other outbuildings for animals. The original atmosphere and characteristics as well as the furnishings have been preserved in order to offer the charming result as a complementary feature to the agricultural activities. The land is now cultivated ecologically, and the main activities are raising native Mallorcan white sheep and growing almonds, carob and cereals, among others.
The house is situated amongst the garden, the vegetable garden, buildings for animals, and barns where the machinery and tractors are kept and where almonds, cereals and carob beans are stored, depending on the season.
The vegetable garden is ecological and its produce of tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, melons, watermelons etc. is exclusively for the consumption of the house and its guests.
The good-sized pool especially designed for both adults and children is fed with the finca's own water. With its garden and terraces, communal and private, restored in keeping with the Mallorcan charm of bygone days, Can Bessol is the perfect place for all year round relaxation, meditation and play with your family and friends enjoying modern amenities in the traditional atmosphere of Mallorca.
