The house is not part of Fornalutx but a 15-minute drive away from town, up a hill. Set in a Mediterranean version of the Shire, it lies on a hillside amidst century-old olive trees. Mont Puig is visible from the terrace, which is facing north-east and thus offers no sundowns. Fornalutx is a very cosy little town and can be reached walking down the hill partly on a private road winding down the olive orchard. The house itself is basic and full of charm. Some aspects were not as functional as they could or should be, all of which pales by the experience of staying here. It's exactly what we were looking for.
