Deia is a small but popular holiday destination. Its pretty, reassuringly under developed and popular. If you like food then you will be well served bY the restaurants in Deia, there are a surprising number of them for such a small place. Outside of the restaurants there isn't much else but this is part of its charm.
The villa itself is exactly as described, rustic and clean with a lovely pool and situated a 20 minute or so walk from town. Access to the villa is a bit of a faff as, unless you have a small car (Fiat 500 size) there isnt anywhere to park and instead you have to park about 2 minutes walk away which involves walking along the main road. Not a big issue but worth bearing in mind if you do it repeatedly in the August heat with a lot of shopping/luggage.
The checkin was quick and efficient and before we knew it we were in the pool, which is bigger than it looks on the photos.
The villa is surpsingly large but we barely used the interior, most of the time was spent by the pool or in the relatively small, basic but clean kitchen. The gas barbeque was used extensively
Points to note - as per the description there is no air conditioning which meant the bedrooms were very warm at night. The supplied fans helped and Anna was very quick to provide additional ones.
The walk to Deia isn't as long as it looks and is actually very pleasant. The walk to Cala Deia is about 40 minutes down hill and a lot longer uphill! Worth walking though as the car park gets very full very quickly. On the subject of Cala Deia - the seafood restuarant there has great views but in our expereince overpriced with average to indifferent food.
The pool and hot tub are great and the views from them to die for.
Anna was a great host and very responsive to any questions before and during our stay. All in all a great place and we had a wonderful holiday.
