We are three well-travelled couples who agree that our stay at the finca in Sóller was one of our loveliest travel experiences. Apart from the beautiful and well-apppointed home, we loved the property and its easy access to a network of hiking trails. On a practical level, we found the location convenient for groceries and restaurants - lots of good choices. We also enjoyed dinner “at home”, taking advantage of the opportunity to have a local chef(Matius) prepare an extravagant paella dinner one night, and roast lamb on another.
But what set this experience apart was our host, Pilar, who in every sense was a “super host.” From the time we made our first enquiries months in advance, she was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the finca, its surroundings, and Mallorca in general. Shortly after we arrived, she gave us a tour of the grounds along with the family’s history associated with the property. This truly was one of the highlights of our vacation. We all agreed we would love to go back one day.
