Maison / villa - Soller

"Maison très agréable et propriétaire fort sympathique. C''est la deuxième fois que nous louons la maison et il améliore le confort d''année en année."

We had the most wonderful holiday here. We took the train from Palma to Soller, followed by a 2 min taxi ride with our bags to the Villa, then after that just strolled the leisurely 10 to 15 mins to and from the restaurants, bars, boutique shops and cultural attractions at the heart of Soller. When you're at the Villa you are in the beautiful Mallorcan countryside and yet so close to all the lovely things that make a holiday truly memorable. The Villa itself is very stylish in a low key, relaxed manner: you feel at home, in a really lovely home. For those who love water, the pool is exception. Crystal clear, chlorine free, spacious and natural feeling. We were there a year ago. I'm writing this now because I dream of being there again but won't be there this year, it was all booked up. Having stayed there once it is for sure a place we long to be, time and again. Julie & Peter

It's a struggle to top the comments already left about this property and Robert. I agree with everything that has been said before. What I loved about this place is that it feels organic, rustic and remote but, you notice the attention to detail in making the place clean, finished and accessible. It's all very clever and feels like it's been created with love and care, coupled with the wondrous setting (I never tired of the towering mountains each morning as I ventured out) it's a gem I'm delighted to have found.

If you're looking for every mod con, clean lines, town center noise and instant access to everything, this isn't the place for you but I challenge anyone to find a more superb setting, genuine charm and character and a more accommodating and friendly host.

Villa Olivera is a beautiful old stone house in the most wonderful location. It's less than 10 minutes walk to the main square in Soller but is set peacefully, in the midst of the foothills of the stunning Tramuntana mountains.

The house, pool and surroundings are lovely, and the kitchen by far the best equipped of any villa we've ever stayed in. And to top it all off, Robert is a fantastic host. extremely highly recommended.

Villa Olivera is a delight, with all the joy of a rural location, and all the convenience of being a short walk to town. The villa has been sympathetically decorated and furnished, and has character and warmth. We were quite happy to spend time indoors during the short spell of thunderstorms that we experienced. But it's the garden, pool, setting and views that made us really fall for the place.

The house was spotlessly clean when we we arrived, the kitchen had all the equipment we needed - it was great to have good quality sharp knives, and a choice of chopping boards. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the shower was great (and reliable).

Robert himself is a fantastic host. He gave us loads of useful local information, showed us how everything worked, looked after the house, and even lent us an emergency printer! And he still gave us all the privacy we wanted at the same time.

Roll on next hols!
