A lovely mountain getaway for our family
We had a very nice time in this house. The photos are accurate and it is a good value for money. Upon arrival, the house was spotless and had everything we needed for our stay. They even left us some goodies to start things off including fresh bread and a bottle of wine which was a very nice touch.
Some of our favorite things about the place were the outdoor kitchen (cook all of your meals out there - even move the coffee maker out there in the morning!), and the electric orange juicer (buy lots of oranges!). The restaurant down the road has amazing views and great food so recommend spending one of your meals there and you can walk home afterwards in three minutes.
We did a lot of hiking and there are several trail heads right next to the restaurant. The trail head right after the restaurant (on the right - a small wooden arrow marks the trail) breaks off in two directions about 20 mtrs from the road. You can walk downhill in the direction of Fornalutx in a little less than an hour, and Soller in just over an hour. Right before you come to the restaurant, there is another trail head that leads you to Cala Tuent. I would have loved to have done this hike as I hear you can lunch there and then they have an afternoon pick up boat for hikers back to Port de Soller. We just ran out of time. You can get the map and more info from the tourist office next to the train station in Soller if you are interested in that hike.
This property is at the top of a steep road that zigzags out of Soller for about 20 minutes by car. I knew this area when booking and chose it as we wanted something quiet and remote that had an outdoor kitchen, that was near the trail heads. We did have a moment of panic as we arrived on a Saturday afternoon and there were dozens of moterbikes racing up and down the road extremely loudly. We walked down to the restaurant to ask more about them and they told us that it is common on a Saturday but the rest of the week would be quiet. This proved to be true. The rest of the week was fine. If you do stay here on a Saturday, recommend getting out and about on a Saturday - and staying out into the early evening for dinner even.
The property manager dodged our questions about the noise when we arrived and were worried, and she also didn't know much about using the appliances. We reached out, and the next day the owner Catalina stopped by and walked us through everything - she was lovely and with that we were settled in and enjoying.
