Port de Soller is arguably the best place to stay in the island. You’re fairly close to palma with a main road for access (I say this as most of the island has no main roads!). It has a beautiful port, boat excursions, beach, mountains, shops and restaurants. The view from the apartment is honestly amazing and as good as the photo. I have marked down cleaning as there were a few cleaning issues which I have shared privately so hopefully these will be fixed for future guests. We hired a car to get round the island but there are plenty of taxis, buses and there’s a tram to get around or enough to do in the port to spend all your time there! When you know your way round the port, finding parking is easy but when you don’t it can be tough so just take what you first find (as high up as possible). If you do hire a car, fiat 500s are brilliant for the windy narrow small roads however they have absolutely no power to get you up the mountains to access beautiful (and well worth seeing) villages such as Deia, Valldemossa and Fontalux!! Talking of incline, it is quite a long steep walk up to the apartment which may take you by surprise if you do it for the first time with your 20kg suitcase! We weren’t aware so take this as your warning!! It does get easier after a few goes and it became (sort of) fun walking up after dinner. We are fairly fit but I wouldn’t say that it’s suitable for anyone who isn’t. Joe met us for check in and was lovely. He was informative of the area. Overall, a really great base for exploring the island.
