This is a funky piece of heaven. You see a place on Airbnb and fingers crossed it delivers but this is one of those hidden gems that delivered a treasure chest of special times to us. From the architecture to the furniture to the art, everything in this house has a tale to tell, it is unique and stylish and nothing is 'reproduction' which is the way we like it so we were happy bunnies. This house is on top of the hill, a scenic island of a hill popping up amongst the terraced sides of the mountains with the famous church atop. Many characters have visited or lived in this village over the years and yet Deia, whilst it will cost you a few extra coins, is an easy place to stay with all ones favourite bits around. If there is one thing you would NOT be able to buy in a tiny supermarket in Deia it would be the The Fine Cheese Co, based in our local Bath, amazing cheese biscuits- it's hard to get these in Somerset at various times of the year but fear not, you can get them, and delicious local cheeses in little Deia's supermarket.
This place is a great way to stay in a town- albeit a small town/ village. We are country bumpkins and a town can be a bit of an overwhelming experience for us but our outside terrace and pool area were tranquil throughout our 9 day stay. A September trickle of tourists quietly passed the door on the road (it's hard chatting when you are on an uphill climb) and this is no place to be aimlessly driving around so we barely noticed a car for the whole week.
This was such a great space, we explored much of the island from it and yet it is quiet, secluded and very we felt rather privileged/ smug to find such a cool spot to restore ourselves and enjoy life. We had so much fun!! You can enjoy wonderful views throughout the day whilst plugging into a little town life. I am putting this one on our 'Go Back' list.
