I didn’t read the reviews going back to 2016 /2017 so I did not note comments relating to the size of the flat. From the photos I thought there was a separate bedroom. The bedroom and lounge are all one room with steps leading down into the kitchen. It was inconvenient at first as I like to do early morning exercises which I couldn’t do without disturbing my partner. This wasn’t too much of an issue in the end as the flat has many good features and we spent a relaxing week here. It is ideally located within a 3-minute walk of the main square and the views of the mountains from the balcony are enchanting. We spent many an evening gazing at the stars. We also barbecued a couple of times as there is a BBQ on the balcony. It would have been helpful to have an outdoor broom to sweep the balcony as lots of things gathered there from the wind. If we didn’t eat at one of the many good restaurants (our favourite was s’aturada) we soon got into the habit of joining lots of couples and families at 10.30/11pm in the main square for a night cap or even ice cream at one of the bars before bed.
Fornalutx and surrounding areas are beautiful and a perfect place to relax. We didn’t rent a car and we thought this might have been a mistake but it didn’t stop us from getting around. There is a local bus which goes to Soller and Port Soller but it doesn’t run to time. Remember that the bus runs to a different time table on Saturdays! We visited in the July heatwave so the air conditioning was very welcome. Just before we left someone told us about a public swimming pool on the road to Soller which has fantastic views of the mountains. Food and drink are available and apparently hardly anyone goes there.
You can get buses to Palma from Soller or you can take the Tren Soller which is a beautiful wooden interior train (like the wooden trams in Soller). Very quaint.
We took a taxi from the airport to Fornalutx. I think it was about 50/55 Euros. I think next time we would take a bus from the airport to Soller and then take a taxi from there.
If you have spent the day in Port Soller and intend to take the bus back to Fornalutx I would recommend getting to the bus stop early as the day we were there the bus left 10 minutes early. If you miss the bus, there are plenty of taxis in Soller. There only seems to be one taxi driver in Fornalutx. His number is by the bus stop opposite the recycling bins and next to the car park.
There were shutters or curtains or both at every window except the glass front door. We felt that we could have had more privacy with a curtain here as people walking to the property next door can see straight in whilst you are relaxing on the sofa.
There were no cleaning products that we saw in the flat.
The location of the flat is not ideally suited to anyone with mobility issues as the steps are steep from the road steep leading up to the flat.
Lastly, as the flat does not have a number, I think more detailed instructions on how to find the property along with photos of the front of the property would be helpful. Instructions on how to open and close the keyguard would have been helpful as I haven’t used one before. We worked it out in the end.
