This was our second visit to Xisco’s home this year and we loved it all over again!
It is located very close to the church of Sant Joan de Deià on the top of the hill with very imposing views across the village and towards the sea and the mountains of El Teix.
The house is furnished in a typical Mallorcan style and is comfortable and very clean with plenty of hot water for showers etc. If you are like us, you will spend much of your time gazing out of the kitchen-dining area on to the semi-panoramic vista or taking in the views on the upper terrace listening to the music emanating from La Residencia or the music bar.
Xisco is an excellent, kind and very responsive host and was able to efficiently deal with a couple of requests without any problem. Highly recommended.
It only takes 5 minutes to walk down the hill to the village shops, supermarkets and numerous restaurants. We recommend the music bar Sa Fonda to chill out over a beer, Rullan for lunch and Es Punt for breakfast For those with more sophisticated palates there is the famous Es Raco d’Es Teix, and El Olivo Restaurant in La Residencia. S’Hortet is another lovely place we frequented a few times during our stay and is a good stop off if you are planning to take the walk down to Cala Deiá (allow 45 mins).
There is an excellent and cheap bus service that connects to Valldemossa and Palma in one direction and Sóller and Port de Sóller in the other direction. The bus stops are located close to the La Residencia. The views from the bus along the coastline are spectacular.
If you want to hire a car for your visit, I would suggest something quite compact so that you can park it either outside the house or nearby on the road.
On this occasion, we stayed for over 2 weeks and were sad to leave as we really enjoyed our stay and were very settled. I’m sure we will be back on our next visit to Deià!
