The apartment is located high up in the Tramuntana mountains with wonderful forest views. It is situated close to the junction of the twisty mountain roads between Soller, Inca and Pollenca, and the small lane to Lluc village, but traffic noise was never intrusive and there was an over-riding sense of peace and tranquility.
The small 'Can Gallet' cafe directly next to the apartment was open for lunch Mon-Sat, and seemed to be popular with cyclists. There was a petrol station with small shop approximately 100m away on the road to Inca. 'Es Guix' restaurant was a short walk away and served excellent food (book in advance in high season). The restaurant garden features an amazing water hole complete with small waterfall, which was great fun (if not a little bracing, even in mid-August!). Lluc Monastry - with its Basilica, museum/art gallery, swimming pool, restaurants/cafes and gift shop - is a very short drive away and well worth a visit.
By hire car we visited beaches at Port de Soller, Cala Tuent, Sa Colobra, Port de Saint Vincenc, Cap Formentor, Port de Pollenca and Son Serra de Marina, each amazing in its own way. As a family, we also enjoyed visiting Alcudia's HidroPark, but were happy to escape back to the peace and quiet of Escorca at the end of the day!
The Sunday morning market in Pollenca shouldn't be missed and we enjoyed visiting the shops and restaurants on other days. (Lidl was much better value than the Carrefour in Palma, and very good for most necessities.). Soller also had a lovely market, art gallery, shops and restaurants, as well as a fun tram ride down to Port de Soller.
Communication with the hosts Cosme and Carol was always easy. Very highly recommended!
