Welcome to a place where classical music, culture and history converge in an atmosphere of elegance and exclusivity. The birthplace of Miquel Costa i Llobera, one of Mallorca's most emblematic poets, has been restored and transformed into a private cultural centre, designed for those who appreciate artistic excellence and heritage preservation.
Joan Bou Sunyerva was born in Felanitx in 1895 and became a prominent businessman who overcame the hardships of his time. While his six siblings emigrated to Chile out of necessity, he worked in Morocco before settling in Pollença, where he built a successful career. In 1931 he bought Costa's house from the poet's nephews for 80,000 pesetas, a significant investment at the time. He also acquired other important properties such as Son Brull and Alcanada. He devoted time and resources to preserving the house and Costa i Llobera's legacy, commissioning a portrait of the poet from Dionís Bennassar and a bust that can still be seen in the garden today.
His heirs, Maria Bou Villalonga and Joan Mateu Bou, have continued to preserve the house and promote its cultural legacy. Thanks to their commitment, the property has become a meeting place for cultural activities, keeping the memory of Costa i Llobera alive.
