Many Thanks to Jmichel for a fantastic holiday.
On arrival from Palma by bus, which stops on the other side of the port , we rang Jmichel for directions and he very kindly collected us and drove us to the apartment. Our host advised us on local restaurants and shops , and was available at all times for any queries.
Although the apartment is compact it is furnished to a very high standard. It was perfect for us (a couple and our teenage daughter) We really appreciated the little touches such a supply of coffee, salt, pepper, oil,and other bits and pieces to start is off. Having a dishwasher and coffee machine were a great addition.
There is not a lot of privacy in the bathroom, but fine for a family or couple. As the weather was so hot we had no need for the upstairs lounge and used this as a comfortable 2nd bedroom . The air con worked perfectly to keep us cool indoors.
The terrace (where we spent most of time) is enormous ! The views all around are spectacular. It must be the best in Port de soller. We could have easily spent all our time here . The large garden downstairs is also a lovely spot to relax.
The best beach in the port is literally outside the front door ,and great for snorkeling as the water is so clear. There's plenty of fish to be seen and diving with the cormorant that was constantly on the end of the jetty, was a definite highlight.
The location was perfect for us at the quieter side of the port. A supermarket and and the best ice cream shop in the port are just downstairs, and plenty of restaurants close by. As is the tram stop to Soller.
It's an easy 10 min stroll to the harbour, with plenty more restaurants and shops and this where you can take boat trips from to other coves nearby. We booked an afternoon snorkeling trip with Octopus diving, which was a little expensive , but still enjoyable to see quieter coves in the area.
Getting about by bus is easy and very cheap, and I would definitely recommend a trip to Deia for the best snorkeling and a great lunch, but be warned , the hike back up from the cove, (about 15 mins) is hard work in the heat ( or you could book a taxi in the village).
On departure , Jmichel booked our taxi for us and allowed us to use the garden and downstairs bathroom to freshen up before we left at 5pm. Also a place to store our luggage.
I cannot recommend this apartment enough, and would love to return in the future. (Especially when the hot tub is installed on the terrace !)
