Perfectly pleasant and interesting way to while away a couple of hours. Beautiful countryside, very pretty villa and interesting (and cool🌡️) interior. In regards to the comments about the animals: it is the Mediterranean, and their animal husbandry is different to more temperate countries. You don't get lush grass like you do in more northern countries. Yes, I would personally liked to have seen all the animals in the yard have some fibre to be munching on. But the pens were clearly immaculate that morning, and you can see they are turned out overnight into a paddock. As for the horse and the donks - they are just fine. The horse is very well covered, and all 3 had very good barefoot feed which is a good sign they are being properly cared for (and shouldn't be on lush grass). All animals had shade, all animals had water. The only thing I was surprised at was the orange grove and the volume of fruit that'd been allowed to drop. Maybe it was bitter orange, but looked like an eating orange, which could've been utilized in the museum food/drink offerings maybe.

The estate belonged to a Spanish noble family and dates from 1750. You can buy tickets online or at the bar. They were unable to take card payments at the bar. We were given an information sheet (in English) with a sentence or two on each of the main rooms in the house. Part way through the numbering on the information sheet was different to that of the rooms (after the kitchen - I think). The house was interesting with many fine objects. While we were there two coach parties also arrived but this was not a problem as they only stayed for about 30 minutes. Outside there was a seating area, garden area, barns, and birds/animals. The animals seemed in slightly better condition than described below - but there is room for further improvement.

ANIMALS IN DANGER PLEASE CONTACT SERGIO GARCIA TORRES Sergio Antonio García Torres. Director General de Derechos de los Animales for Spain. Dear Sir, Dear Madam, Dear Sergio Garcia Torres, We are on holiday in Mallorca and it's a very beautiful place with amazing landscapes and people. BUT: Today we planned to visit CASA MUSEO ELS CALDERERS in 07240 Sant Joan. There is an animal farm with horses, donkeys, cows, pigs and goats. That's a nightmare for these animals: we've seen a man shouting at the animals with a wooden stick in his hand. He frightened donkeys, cows and horses who were stuck in the corner of the enclosure. Awful but true vision. All the animals are living on the floor without any way to fresh grass and walk among their dejection. We intended to take a picture of the man but he shouted at us. We went away without visiting the museo. When reading the comments on google, we can find other testimonials like us: baby pigs separated from mother, animals in the sun without protection, without food and water. Please do something for them and as quickly as possible please. Feel free to contact us for any further informations.

Beautiful old house, filled with history. Lovely to see old artefacts and clothes and how they have been used. Clearly they have been an affluent family, with a resident priest and space for all; women, men and staff. We all enjoyed seeing the whole exhibition. The only negative, however quite a big one, are the animals in the yards. A poor lonely cow standing in a tiny space, in the hot weather, on a concrete floor, without any bedding or any comfort. Also the goats and pigs had no bedding or comfort, but at least they had company. The lack of care for these animals diminished our enjoyment of the otherwise lovely exhibition.

The house very well preserved, pleasantly surprised. I didn't like the exterior that much, the animals don't seem very well cared for, the dog, tied with a chain that limits his movement and doesn't let him enter the hut (very cool and well built, by the way, with a porch, pots and pans) for water and food...) It seems quite comfortable for the furry guardian, but it is of little use if he cannot access it. The entrance price is cheap for how well preserved the house is, but I wouldn't mind having paid more to see the animals in better condition.

We were very impressed by the manor house, it seemed authentic to us and - unlike many other such facilities - was also completely and in our opinion originally furnished. You could really imagine how people lived there back then. We couldn't understand the many negative comments about keeping animals, the animals didn't look neglected and they had space and shade.

Super nice and in really great condition. You would love to move in straight away. 🥰 We've been here for the second time and it was absolutely great again!

This house gives a great insight into Mallorcan life in earlier centuries. There is a lot to discover in the rooms. The outdoor area also houses animals (goats, poultry, sheep, donkeys and pigs). We felt that the animals had enough space and, above all, shade. We never had the impression of animal welfare being endangered that other reviews mentioned. The entrance fee was €10, which we thought was justified. Despite it being high season, we had the museum to ourselves.

Très belle demeure à visiter. Entrée 10 € En traversant les piéces de la demeure, on ressent ce que pouvez être la vie dans cette demeure, il y a déjà quelque temps.
