Antonio Flores, the chronicler of Queen Elizabeth II — who visited Alfàbia in 1860— said about the estate in his book Crónica del viaje de Sus Majestades y Altezas Reales a las Islas Baleares Cataluña y Aragón (Chronicle of the Journey of Their Majesties and Royal Highnesses to the Balearic Islands, Catalonia and Aragon):

“The entrance to the Alfàbia estate is sumptuous, but the exit on the other side is wonderful. Entering the house, which is regular sized, crossing its main rooms which run along and look out over the gallery that extends around the grounds, means being absorbed and suspended between the most varied and beautiful scenery that the human imagination could dream up. Despite the fact that the picturesque mountains in Alfàbia are glimpsed before reaching the estate, it is nonetheless surprising that such beautiful, whimsical nature is concealed at the rear of that building. It seems that nature and art are works from the same hand. One never knows where the garden ends and the mountain begins; both seem to be one and the same.”
