Hotel La Vila
Currently known for its commercial use as an urban hotel, this building, consisting of a ground floor and two upper floors, showcases the Modernist style in all its splendour, both in the façade—where the wrought-iron balcony with geometric and floral decoration stands out, along with the frontispiece entirely made of grey stone—and in the interior, where there is a rich abundance of Modernist elements, from flooring to ceilings.
Starting at the entrance, it is worth mentioning the bronze sculpture of a female figure holding the lamp at the base of the staircase, attributed to the Sóller-born sculptor Cristòfol Quintana. Also notable inside are the marble wainscoting, the wrought-iron staircase railing, and the medallion paintings on the ceilings of the rooms on the main floor, by local artist Miquel Campins, depicting landscapes and scenes from France and Sóller.
Aquest immoble es trobava dividit en dos habitatges, Can Mindus i Can Mames (actualment la gelateria de Can Pau). Serà aquest segon mal-nom el que es farà famosa la dita Sollerica de que (alguna cosa) “…passa aquí i a Can Mames de plaça!” Per referir-se a que quelcom cosa passa per tot o ho sap tothom.
