We loved the house. Plenty of room for five adults. Wonderful view. 10 minute walk to the town center, downhill. We rented a car, which was very nice to have for exploring the island, but be prepared to navigate narrow streets of SĂłller to get to the house. Completely doable, just nothing like driving in the States.
We had a lovely week and Robert the owner was very welcoming and helpful. The pool and pool area was a little tired compared to the pictures but overall a good stay
Stayed with my family and parents . Really nice villa and the host was excellent, very attentive and helped us out with advice on where to go and the one time there was a small issue small issue (flushing toilet) we had it fixed within the hour
This house is a little gem and my husband and I really enjoyed our week there. Robert was so helpful and gave us amazing recommendations for our stay.
Will definitely come back!
Quiet rural stay within easy reach of town, bars, cafes
A gorgeous farmhouse, simply but beautifully decorated, with a lovely homely feel. Robert couldn't have been more helpful with advice on where to go/what to see and a quick fix of a plumbing problem too. Would highly recommend :)
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Robert and Mariaâs villa. It was equipped with everything we needed for our week long visit. Robert was only a call away if we needed anything and was very helpful. The only thing that couldâve made our stay better wouldâve been fans in the bedrooms. Highly recommend staying here and look forward to coming back!
A Beautiful villa with fabulous outdoor space. The pool was just perfect for cooling off and relaxing. It was well equipped although rather warm at night without air conditioning.
We loved the peaceful walk into Soller and the location was a great starting point for exploring.
We had a lovely time at the villa. We spent a lot of our holiday relaxing around the pool and enjoying lunches on the outside dining area which was very quiet and peaceful. Robert, the property owner gave us a great handover and was promptly on hand when needed. The villa was close to Soller and surrounded by the stunning Tramuntana Mountains. Thoroughly recommended.
We had a wonderful time again in Soller - we've been many times and it never fails to charm us with some of the best walking and cycling you'll find in Europe. Our Villa was tasteful done, well equipped and peaceful and despite some poor weather with occasional cloud, rain and thunderstorms, we made the most of the pool and the the comfortable facilities it offered.
We had a wonderful week staying at Robert and Mariaâs villa. Robert was very helpful upon arrival and made himself available throughout if we needed anything.
It was a joy spending time together around the pool and strolling into town for evening meals. The hike back is a bit of a challenge but my 7 year old boy and 73 year old mum both managed it well.
We loved listening to the birds, although never saw them. The villa is well equipped and has everything you need to make your stay comfortable.
It was the perfect family holiday, exactly what we hoped for and we will definitely be back. There is so much to discover in the area, we ran out of time.
We had a wonderful stay in the house - it was beautiful and peaceful and no detail had been missed in helping us have an incredibly comfortable holiday. It felt like a real treat. Robert met us in town so that we could find our way there and welcomed us with kindness and much love and information for the island. There is a steep walk back to the house from the town, but that gave us a sense of achievement at the end of each day! The area is stunning and there is so much to do - more than we could fit into a week. We are already planning a return.
Robert was so accommodating and friendly on my arrival.
The house is immaculate and sympathetically designed to a very high standard . I have fallen deeply in love with this area and the house itself . I had the most romantic week of my life there and if you appreciate the beautiful of nature then this is your place . It aroused all of my senses . Beautiful location could not fault it I will be back VERY soon Rob !
We have fully enjoyed our stay at Robert and Mariaâs wonderful house. The house is perfectly equipped with everything you might need, beautifully decorated and very clean. The outside area including the pool is a real gem! The house is perfectly located, near to Soller but still providing a lot of privacy.
Thanks also for the great tips to explore the island and picking us up from the bus station, Robert!
We can totally recommend to stay here & will definitely come back! :)

We loved our week here. With the mountains on one side - green with pines & olives, despite the heat (mid-high 30s) - and the distant sea on the other, the house feels very private & remote but is only a short walk into the town of SĂłller, with its shops, buses and marvellous wooden train to Palma. Apart from sleeping & cooking, we hardly spent time indoors. The long table on the veranda is great for family meals, and the deep pool is a good size and has soft salty water rather than chlorine. Robert is a really thoughtful host, who made us feel welcome and well looked-after and provided plenty of information on local walks, places to eat etc. Back home in rainy England, it all feels like a dream, but we hope to return sometime!
A family event to celebrate two significant birthdays found the perfect location. Never before found accommodation that provided both champagne flutes and cake forks in a great kitchen. Rural location was a joy and the property had enough space, both inside and out, for everyone to find 'space' if they needed.
Nothing was too much trouble for Robert and Maria although we did our best to be self-reliant and not bother them.
Some of us did find the the walk up the hill, back to the property, a challenge as did the dreadful hire car, a DR, but everyone has benefitted from the exercise it seems.
Perfect combination of countryside and access to Soller Town
Although the house is just a 10 - 15 mins pleasant walk from the beautiful town of Soller, once in its environs it feels secluded, very private and remote. Surrounded by the majesty of the Serra de Tramuntana, the house is uncluttered, clean and offered everything we needed it to on our relaxing holiday. Four adults and two small children were comfortably accommodated and everyone had a very enjoyable break. The saltwater pool was deliciously cool and the combination of poolside furniture and hammocks arranged around olive trees ensured there was both sunshine and shade throughout the day for everyone. We enjoyed our early morning visits to the bakery, our evening meals on the terrace and the cool rooms of the house at nighttime. Robert and Maria were wonderful and very responsive hosts and dealt with our enquiries expediently and efficiently. All in all we had a lovely time and hope to return on day if we can.
We, a family of six adults, all enjoyed our stay at Olivera. On arrival Robert met with our taxi driver to ensure that he could find the house and Robert then offered to take us shopping, which was apppreciated.
Robert responded promptly to a small issue we had and, whilst he was at the house, he ordered pizza for us as the place we contacted wasnât doing delivery.
The house itself has everything that you need. Air conditioning would be good, but fans are provided.
The pool, which is well maintained, was most welcome as the temperature was 32-35c whilst we were there. One thing to note though is that there is no shallow end.
As others have mentioned, the house is up a steep hill. The younger members of our party didnât find it too much of a problem.
Soller itself has a number of good restaurants, whilst other towns and villages such as Deia, Port de Soller and Fornalutx, are easy to get to on the excellent bus service.
Overall, we had a lovely holiday.
A magnificent property, situated just on the outskirts of Soller. The surrounding area is just beautiful and the town has a lot to offer including easy transport to a number of must see locations. The house is comfortable and the pool very relaxing to come back to after a day of exploring. It is fully equipped.The host, Robert could not have been nicer. Great communication from early in the process and a great homemade map sent before our visit which really highlighted a lot of important and relevant information on the town. We opted not to have a hire car and Robert very kindly took us shopping on the first day, pointing out local products and driving us back to the property fully equipped! He also booked a taxi for us on the way back and even checked out airport luggage storage options for us as our flight was a bit later. He is fantastic.Very happy to recommend.
Beautiful house and location - completely restful, well equipped, easy walk to town. Lots to do close by and further afield on Mallorca. Only the in and out of town and to the house is a bit tricky and takes some time.
Das Haus liegt in fuĂlĂ€ufiger Entfernung (15 min) vom Stadtzentrum von Soller entfernt. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefĂŒhlt mit dem groĂen, erfrischendem und gepflegtem Pool. Da es zu unserem Reiszeit sehr heiĂ war, konnten wir immer unter der Ăberdachung der Veranda den Urlaub genieĂen.
I have always been very interested in the Mallorquin building style, architecture,and culture. I have been professionally involved in designing many homes in Soller maintaining the traditional Mallorquin Soller style. The Mallorquin Soller style is quite unique as it is a mixture of different cultures. Many of the older properties were originally built during the Islamic period that at its longest lasted 300 years. You can still see the influence in the names of many villages like Bini Ali or Lluc Alcari or Bini Basi. Even some people claim the name Soller has an Islamic meaning. There are still lots of traces left,including many minarets in Palma City.
I liked this house because it is so close to the Center but at the same time tucked away in the olive groves surrounded by nature. Distant sheep bells and the bird song are lovely. We have another smaller property also on HomeAway called Relaxing Casita (advert number 6300799) that is in the vicinity so if you had a larger group you could rent them together. I will be happy to offer any recommendations or assistance to make your stay the best I can. Each property (The Relaxing Casita and the Olive Grove Villa ) is independent,autonomous. The pool and the garden of Olive Grove Villa is secluded and belongs only to Olive Grove Villa property. It is absolutely independent from the Relaxing Casita.
