Joan's clean and very comfortable cottage sits on a terrace looking across the town and down to the sea in the distance. Whether eating at the beautiful, shaded, outside dining table or kicking back in the hammock, there are views of the mountains in every direction. The attractive pool can be found on the lower terrace and is reached by a series of stone steps. Perfect for cooling off in the heat of the day. A 10 minute walk takes you down into the town centre where there are plenty of shops, a few small supermarkets and a wide variety of places to eat. The cottage is very well stocked with essentials. Thank you Joan for the bottle of Cava and delicious, home grown, oranges and lemons. We didn't hire a car but jumped in a taxi at exit 4 of the airport. There were plenty waiting, even at 1.30am in the morning (after a very delayed flight). Joan kindly met us in the square by Soller train station and drove us, through the winding streets, up to the cottage. The taxi would never have found it!! If you hire a car, make it a small one. The tram to Port Soller is a must. If you want to swim, it's worth getting off when the tram stops by the beach as the end of the line is by the marina, a quarter of a mile further along the bay. When traveling back to the UK, we caught the wooden train to Palma. The airport shuttle bus and taxis pull in at the lay-by (across the busy main road) beside the large square. Many thanks go to Joan, our 'super host' who could not have done more to ensure that our stay was stress free. Muchas gracias xx.
