We used this as a base for walking in the mountains. It was perfectly positioned on the GR221. We did walks to Fornalutx and Mirador ses basques; Biniaraix and Barranc de Biniaraix; Deia via the amazing coffee and cake stop on the way with stunning views. The Spar supermarket was ok but agree we did main shops at Estoril supermarket. There is a good bus connection from Palma and through the mountains up to 31 Oct although we got to Soller via the vintage train which was a fun way to arrive. Because we were there to walk we didn't find we needed a car.
