If you are looking for a unique and special experience in stunning surroundings, then look no further. This house has everything you need to switch off, relax and connect with nature. The house itself is cute and, although fairly basic, is stylish and comfortable, with everything you need.
The pool looks over the beautiful mountain scenery. It is the perfect termperature to cool off when the sun gets too much. There are different outdoor spaces, so you can always find a quiet spot; the pool terrace, the hammock, the outdoor sofa where we'd sit each night and watch the stars come out.
The house is remote and peaceful. The only sounds most of the time are the bells of the goats and sheep and an occasional distant car driving up the mountain. It is close enough to civilization that you aren't cut off, with nearby Soller a 10 minute drive down the mountain (or 5 minutes for more confident drivers). Picturesque Deia and stylish Valdemossa are a short drive away and worth a day out.
But really, once we settled in, we didn't actually want to leave. It's the most beautiful location; an utter dream for us town girls, who just wanted to switch off and have a real break. We got that in spades and it exceeded every expectation.
Deia, the sweetest little black cat, came round to visit soon after we arrived. She is very low maintenance and really happy and thankful for a few cat biscuits (very cheap in local Eroski). Please take care of her people. She's tiny and on her own in a very big outdoors.
Also visiting us were goats and sheep, who also gratefully received the benefit of leftover fruit and veg. They are funny and sweet natured and took a real shine to one of our girls, who had a "favourite sheep" by the end of our 5 days, something she never expected to say!
The drive to and from the property onto the mountain road is not for the faint hearted though and I would definitely consider that if you are a nervous driver. There is an option to leave your car at the top of the driveway and walk down but it's a steep walk on shingle and not fun in the hot sun. Having said that, I came down like driving Miss Daisy on day 1 and went up like Lewis Hamilton on day 5. You'll get used to it and it all adds to the experience.
I really can't say enough nice things about this property. Go. You won't be disappointed.
