Pure enchantment! What a privilege to stay in Oona's indescribably beautiful and peaceful home in a setting that truly surpasses any hope or expectation you could have of a perfect week in Deià. The photos are stunning but still can't capture breathtaking beauty, peace and magic of this extremely unique place.
After driving down a secret rugged road through gorgeous olive and citrus groves, with sheep grazing peacefully and seagulls circling overhead, you arrive practically at the water's edge where a final foot path leads you to this house of wonders that you will never want to leave. The views not just from the lovely garden but from the house itself are breathtaking and you can literally hear the waves in the Cala as you drift off to sleep at night. The house is super cosy and has everything you could possibly need if you love to cook - or barbecue! - as we do and the bed (from which you have an amazing sea view) is incredibly comfortable. Even in November the weather was mild enough to enjoy morning coffee and dinner on the front porch. There are little corners everywhere inside and out for resting and reading a book (there is a phenomenal library of books in the house - so inspiring!) or just for gazing out at the panoramic views. Less than 10 minutes walk has you down at the Cala or off to enjoy the wonderful hiking trails. And downtown Deià is literally 5 minutes away by car but you could also walk there.
Oona was a warm and thoughtful host and the communication was excellent from start to finish. I absolutely loved her guide to her home and to the area which was full of great local and insider tips and helped us to get even more out of our time there. This is such an inviting and personal place and a unique opportunity to experience something more than a generic AirBnb stay. Deeply restful, inspiring, uplifting, immersed in nature, magical, cosy ... a perfect combination. I highly recommend it. Thank you for everything Oona! We hope to return very soon.
