We spent a month in Carla's house — from mid-September to mid-October.
The house is located just outside the city of Soller — it takes about twenty minutes to walk to the city center.
The view from the house is absolutely amazing, better than in the pictures.
The house itself is functional, there is what you need, but the best is the outside space and the view. The house was also fine but could honestly do with a little upgrade — doors were loose, as was many of the wooden planks on the outside deck. Being there a month, it would have been nice to have a vacuum cleaner, but we made do with the broom.
We rented bikes and ventured into some of the beautiful routes in the area (Deia, Fornalutx, Port de Soller) and loved biking down for bread and croissants in the morning. The best bakery in the area is in the pedestrian street (For de Barri) and this bakery also has a small outlet in the fantastic Cooperativa, which is a five minute bike ride from the house. Here you can also buy local fruit and vegetables, as well as some basic other things.
Just down the hill we found a lovely local restaurant; Raft 19 Jardin. The owner is kind and the food is very good, only using local, in-season products.
Carla was super easy to communicate with. She met us outside the nearby school and drove us the rest of the way to the house.
When our daughter and her friend came to visit us for a few days, Carla brought extra bed linen and towels and she was generally quick to respond.
In summary, we enjoyed our stay. This time, we wanted to stay for a longer period and the location and daily rate was spot on for our wishes and budget (we are traveling for a year in total). The silence and the view are both amazing and breathtaking. The sounds of goats, ducks, bells from sheep nearby, visits from the cats in the area and a lot of different trees and plants added to the tranquil and rural ambience.
If you are looking for silence, nature and a view that is nothing short of spectacular, I would highly recommend booking Carlas house.
