Excellent location, rather uncomfortable. I feel there is some misrepresentation so I will leave a candid review.
I visited this July with my boyfriend and my parents.
TLDR
Nice place, good location, very uncomfortable on balance not great value. So I wouldn’t stay here again.
Good points
- Incredible views and outdoor space
- Miguel is so kind and welcoming
- overall clean and as pictured
- thoughtful touches: Bluetooth speaker, beach towels, board games etc.
- good location
Bad Points
- **very uncomfortable beds ***
- 1 star bathroom: showering here is not a nice experience
- dishes were dirty on arrival
- poor value for money
- difficult to manoeuvre cars/ park
- managed by agency
The house is located between soller and port de Soller a short drive from the airport. It is within walking distance of both.
At the port you can find dozens of lovely restaurants (recommend Bon VI), a beach, water sports, tour operators etc. Soller is a small town with some restaurants and shops. There is a nice bakery a short walk away to get breakfast and a coffee which you can enjoy at the amazing outdoor space this property has to offer.
There are local hiking trails that take you to Deia and the port of Soller through the mountains which are worth exploring.
There is a local supermarket which offers everything you need <5 minute drive away and a local farmers shop with fresh produce.
The house has lots of thoughtful touches like board games, bluetooth speaker, mosquito repellent, parasol. It has a well equipped kitchen with a nespresso machine and orange juice squeezer.
However ….
The beds are ** very uncomfortable** - the mattresses are thin and old and very uncomfortable to sleep on. I think this is a very basic thing to get right so I found this very disappointing especially as I booked this for my parents to stay in thinking it would be adequate based on the reviews. I wouldn’t consider myself a princess but I think the mattress in the double room is a dealbreaker. It falls in on itself and the bed structure is rickety and old.
In the room with single beds I think the mattresses are okay. However you cannot use them as a double bed as they slip away from eachother, they don’t have the hooks to connect them. Which again is a very simple thing to do.
The bathroom is even worse. The shower is ** very very uncomfortable ** - it is in a bathtub so you have to climb in. It is not a great experience as the shower head falls off the stand when water is running and it is difficult to control the temperature. This means you have to hold the shower head to shower and then turn it off and put it down to use your hands for something else. Not a deal breaker it was just rather inconvenient and made showering not a very nice experience.
The property is managed by an agency and not by the owner. This is not made clear on the description
Overall I think this is poor value for money. The same price can get you a nice place in the port/ with a pool/ in the Deia (where I would choose to stay if I came again).
