After the conquest of the Balearic Islands by James I the Conqueror, the monarch gave the estate to his uncle Nuño de Rosellón, who in turn sold it to the Moorish Ben-Abet family. It subsequently passed through several hands, until it came to belong to the Zaforteza family, its current owners.

The family house was built in the 15th century, while a later wing was added in the 17th century, and the Baroque façade dates from the 18th century. In the courtyard of the house there is a fountain with a sculpture of a child and a fish. The gardens are at the back of the building, where there is a cistern covered by a half-barrel vault, as well as a pergola with 72 columns and 24 stone hydras with interspersed fountains, whose water falls down the slope of the land to an orange orchard.

A new landscaped garden was added in the 19th century, with a lake filled with water lilies and surrounded by palms and bamboo.

These gardens can be classified as a son, a type of garden specific to Mallorca, of Hispano-Arabic heritage, as they came from old farms from the time of the Muslim occupation of the island, generally arranged in terraces and dedicated to the cultivation of citrus and fruit trees, and which during the Renaissance period, when they passed into the hands of noble families, underwent numerous transformations to give them a greater air of wealth and sumptuousness.
