The outdoor space was beautiful - so picturesque with the pool and mountain backdrop! Be prepared that inside the house was HOT! There were plenty of fans and even a portable AC unit in the upstairs âmasterâ bedroom but it was still very warm since we were there in the summer. There were also a lot of ants throughout the house, but the property manager said they would try to take care of that. Overall, a wonderful house and location for a group who wants to relax and go into Soller port/ town.
Excellent villa, with great facilities. It's conveniently located within walking distance of both SĂłller and Port de SĂłller. All the bedrooms are of a good size and there are more than enough bathrooms for a large group. The kitchen is very well equipped and easy to cook in. There is also a great outdoor bbq space. The views are magnificent and it's only a 35m drive from the airport. The only real issue is that it is located near a water treatment plant which can be very pungent at times. This wasn't made clear at the time of our booking but the villa description has now been updated so people can make an informed choice.
The accommodation matches the pictures and was clean. Overall, the stay was really great. The villa is very large, offers a lot of space and is equipped with the essential things. The outdoor area with the pool is very beautiful and the villa is secluded (there is only one house directly behind it, which is not visible). The host was always reachable and responded in a reasonable time. You should know that there is no real air conditioning in the house, but itâs bearable with fans in any room. Also as mentioned in the description of the house there is a sewage treatment plant nearby, so it smelled from time to time a little bit, but it was really not as bad as thought.
What bothered us was the ant infestation in the kitchen. We really couldnât leave anything, even for a short time, and even the drawers were affected.
This finca is located between Soller and Port de Soller right off the main road. The setting is beautiful. It is nestled amongst an orange grove. We loved swimming in the pool at the end of each day, and smelling the rosemary growing along the side of it while watching the sun set on the mountains.
The smell from the water treatment plant is intermittent. When it's strong, it is very strong. We found that it was mainly a night-time problem when it occurred. The most difficult part of that was that we couldn't open the windows at night to let in cool air or use the couple of air conditioners that were supplied. So if was very hot sleeping.
Overall, the condition of the house is good. The pictures in the listing are very accurate. We did not cook here, and only used the living room a couple of times. We had an issue with the water pump shutting off, but the property manager and owner resolved it very quickly.
I have some small notes around cleaning that I might share with the property manager, but otherwise we really enjoyed the house.
Positiv: Lage, Orangengarten, Pool, Haus ist schön.Negativ: Bei Ankunft haben wir erstmal sĂ€mtliche OberflĂ€chen und Klinken/Griffe geputzt, da diese deutlich verschmiert, dreckig und klebrig waren.Einmal waren wir einen halben Tag ohne Wasser, weder Vermieter noch Agentur waren erreichbar. Es gab keine Infomappe mit Notfallnummern.NĂ€chsten Tag kein warmes Wasser, weil Gas fĂŒr den Boiler fehlte.Wasserleckagen nach Regen. Alles bekannte uns nicht kommunizierte Probleme.Die KĂŒchenausstattung ist nicht geeignet, um vernĂŒnftig fĂŒr bis zu 10 Personen zu kochen. Es gibt kaum Kochgeschirr, das der GruppengröĂe entspricht, noch die notwendigen Basics, um mehr als Nudeln mit Sauce zuzubereiten. Der Herd war lose und fiel uns mehrmals entgegen, Bleche passten nicht, das fĂŒhrte zu mehreren Verbrennungen. Der GeschirrspĂŒler war verdreckt, wurde von uns gereinigt, reinigte danach trotzdem nicht vernĂŒnftig das Geschirr.Vieles (Mobiliar, KĂŒchenausstattung) ist von minderer QualitĂ€t und hat seine besten Zeiten hinter sich. Ăberall ist ein deutlicher Renovierungsstau erkennbar.Der bereits in anderen Kritiken erwĂ€hnte KlĂ€rgruben-Geruch ist tatsĂ€chlich da.Die Kommunikation im Nachgang mit der Agentur, um zumindest einen Teil der nicht unerheblichen Kosten zurĂŒckzubekommen, war formal freundlich und null hilfreich. Statt Erholungsurlaub hatten wir in der Summe zwei Tage Troubleshooting und bekommen ein lapidares "aufrichtig entschuldigen" sonst nichts. Schade.
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen! Virginia war eine perfekte Gastgeberin. Der Check-In Vorgang lief super. Fragen wurden umgegebene und zielfĂŒhrend beantwortet! Wir konnten uns in der kurzen Zeit sehr gut erholen.
Wunderschöne Finca mit ausreichend Platz fĂŒr 10 PersonenDie Aussicht auf die Berge und die tolle Terrasse mit Pool im duftenden Orangenhain war ein absoluter Traum.Die KĂŒche war gut ausgestattet, die Betten bequem und Valeria hat immer sehr schnell Antwort auf alle Fragen gegeben. Nur wenige Autominuten entfernt von der traumhaften Tennisanlage und von Port de Soller sowie Soller ZentrumWir können die Villa wĂ€rmstens weiterempfehlen fĂŒr einen Gruppenumsatz
Alles in allem hatten wir einen sehr schönen Urlaub. Das Haus hat alles was man braucht und die Raumaufteilung ist super. Es ist sehr ruhig im Haus und man stört sich n ihr gegenseitig.
Die Ausstattung der Zimmer ist völlig ausreichend und auch gemĂŒtlich. In der KĂŒche könnte es noch die eine oder andere SchĂŒler vertragen damit man fĂŒr 9 Leute auch alles gut zubereitet bekommt. Die Messer sind alle stumpf đ . Leider haben sowohl SpĂŒlmaschine als auch Waschmaschine nicht wirklich funktioniert, aber wir haben die Vermieter darĂŒber in Kenntnis gesetzt und alle waren sehr bemĂŒht das Problem zu lösen. Vielleicht Interesse ist, dass direkt an das Haus noch ein weitere Ferienhaus ist. Das sieht man auf den Bildern des Inserats nicht. Hat aber auch nicht weiter gestört.
Der Schwefelgeruch ist wirklich nicht zu ĂŒberriechen, allerdings waren wir nicht jeden ganzen Tag
Here is a review from 10 friends in Mallorca, a mix of racing bikes in the mountains, lying in the sun by the pool and good food at the outdoor BBQ.
And what a party it was. Laughed a lot and really enjoyed the surrounding area, the location is perfect.
The center and the harbor of Soller are close by and very pleasant.
Valdemossa is also very nice and not to forget Sa Calobra, an unforgettable ride there by bike or by car.
Finally, a special word of thanks to Virginia who was our source of support should anything arise or even arranged a booking in a restaurant!
Always quick to respond! Very nice to be able to fall back on that.
Greetings Hans (and the other 9)
The villa and pool are perfect for the stay being spacious, beautiful and situated in a fruit tree filled, and convenient part of town. That said, the villa is let down by the lean management. Between each guest, the villa and cupboards are cleared, and you are left with enough loo roll for a night or two, one bath towel plus one mini head towel, and hand soap in two out of four bathrooms. There are no swimming pool towels, no barbecue supplies and the cupboards are bare save for a bit of industrial floor cleaner. The dish washer does not work properly, and the dishes and glasses were not clean on our arrival. You have to equip the villa with absolutely everything, including dish washer tabs, dish soap, oil, salt & pepper, body wash, hand soap..everything, itâs an expensive start to a holiday.
Unfortunately the pungent smell from the local filtration system is frequent and unforgiving and although this is in the villa description now, it was not mentioned when we booked.
Under the right management, this villa could flourish (even with the smell), but it is yet to do so.
The house and the surrounding areas are really nice. However, there is an almost constant stench, possibly from a reservoir or a sewer, we had not been made aware of this. Cleaning of the house was fine but a bad rating is given because of the terrible smell.
Beautiful Villa in a remote setting but with good access to town
We loved this villa - it was stocked with everything we could have wanted. The position on the edge of town means a 20 minute walk into the centre or 30 mins walk to the port. There is a great restaurant at the end of the road (5 mins walk) which does incredible local cuisine and very friendly. The only possible downside was the heat (which couldn't be helped) there were lots of fans provided and 2 mobile air conditioning units but we struggled to stay cool in 37/38 degrees of heat for 4 days! The pool was lovely and a great size and the BBQ kitchen area was really useful in the evenings. Overall, we thoroughly recommend!
Very spacious and well equipped house. The indoor temperature was well above 34 degrees and we were unable to cool down the house despite the many fans in the house. The pool was dirty, and no filtration took place. The owner was easy to contact and took immediate action and called for a pool cleaning company.
In the description of the house there is no information about the waste water treatment plant which is located very close to the house. The smell was awful!!!! We moved out of the house after 2 nights, even though 7 were planned - the smell and the heat was overwhelming. During the hole process the owner was very responsive and accepted a refund. Unfortunately the relatively large VRBO fee was not reimbursed. So a costly 2 nights stay.
Das Haus ist schön. Aber in der unmittelbaren NÀhe ist eine KlÀranlage und Abends fÀngt es an zu stinken. Auch ist die Strasse nicht weit entfernt und in der Nacht stört der VerkehrslÀrm
tolle Lage, abseits und doch schnell mittendrinâŠneu, modern eingerichtet, Pool inmitten von Zitronen-& ApfelsinenbĂ€umenâŠeinzige Manko war die fehlende Klimaanlage, dafĂŒr ausreichend Ventilatoren
Communication was fabulous throughout. This trip was supposed to be in 2020 for my sonâs wedding but was postponed twice due to Covid. Hosts were so helpful and arranged transfers for us as well as providing all the information we needed.
Biggest problem we had was getting taxis; this is an island wide situation and not to do with the location of the villa. The tram is great and I would suggest using this above taxis if possible.
Special thanks to Virginia who always came back to me promptly and was able to help in so many ways.
