It was a wonderful week in Guillermo's "Mountain House". Guillermo welcomed us very friendly with a bottle of wine, some oranges and nectarines and a pocketful of tips for our week.
The house is as nice as to see on the photos! Even more beautiful ;-)
At first we had to climb up the wonderful olive grove in the small hill in front of the terraces of the house. From above you have a wonderful view over Caimari and even Selva. The children (8 and 10) had fun to scramble up, but our advice after this small adventure is to wear long trousers because of some sharp plants.
The kitchen is fully equipped from toaster to the juice squeezer, we didn't miss a thing. There were enough towels (but not for the beach!), and there is the possibility to wash the laundry (bring some washing powder so you don't have to buy some).
Because of our trips by day we didn't use the terraces, but we sat every evening and night on the main terrace to play games and drink some wine. A wonderful atmosphere under the almost full moon!
In Caimari 150 metres from the house away is a small shop where you can buy the most important things for breakfast. The owner, Tina, doesn't speak English and more Catalan than Spanish ;-), but after one week we understood each other!
Besides we can advise the restaurant "Ca an toneta" on Caimari. Not cheap but the perfect spot to start and end the holidays with a great menu and wine like we did!
The Mountain House is the perfect accommodation to start several trips all over the island. We mostly were on the Formentor beach because of its beautiful landscape and absolutely clear water. Further we did excursions to Lluc (and hiked back - if you want to do that, too, bring alpine boots, we just had Converse Chucks and that was not practical), Palma and a wonderful lookout between Valldemossa and Deiá at kilometer 65,5 (Mirador Sa Foradada). Perfect for sundown, but remind, that you have to drive back all the serpentines in the dark! ;-)
The one and only drop of bitterness: The barking and whining dogs in the neighborhood, mostly in the evening. That can drag someone's nerves...
Thank you, Guillermo, for making your beautiful house available for us. We would come back with good grace and can advice your accommodation to everyone who wants to make beautiful holidays far away from mass tourism!
