As soon as we saw Oona's house on the Airbnb site, we knew we had to go and see it. I'm so happy to say it is every bit as magic as what you see in the pics! The location (ten minutes on foot to Cala Deia) is incredible, and the views of the wild North Majorcan coast and changing sky are captivating.
The house is not your usual self-catering fare, full of personal curios and fascinating books. This won't be for everyone, but being people who can't bear generic decor and self-catering houses with no real atmosphere, this was right up our street. Its integral to the magic of this place, and like taking a step back in time to Deia in its bohemian heyday. The house really feels like a time capsule, and really invites you in to learn more about the weird and wonderful history of Deia. Some rentals retain too much of their personal stuff, and it can feel claustrophobic but Oona got the balance just right.
There was tons of space to put clothes away and get settled in, but still it felt really soulful and homely. Everything was spotless and clean and the beds were really comfy.
It's worth saying that we went with a toddler and carried her down to the Cala every day in a backpack carrier. She had a great time, just make sure one parent keeps an eye on branches that might graze your child, pulling them back to clear the way a bit.
We'll be back!
