We had a really wonderful time at Antony’s place! It’s truly a paradise, so much so that passers by often took photos of the garden because it’s so beautiful.
The house is lovely and clean with a spacious downstairs. We were two adults, two kids and a friend, and we were very comfortable. It’s spilt over 3 floors with a bedroom on each floor and each with an en suite bathroom. We spent a lot time relaxing in the garden with the kids playing around. The mornings are especially nice to see the sunlight creeping down the hills. There’s also a bbq which we used one evening.
The location is perfect, just a few minutes walk from the Main Street where there are many great restaurants and a few lovely boutiques. The little grocery shop is excellent and sells everything you’ll need, plus they’re super friendly, but it’s quite expensive. Our favourite place was the restaurant down the road from the apartment called S’Hortet - really delicious breakfast and lunch with healthy options and a play area for kids, we spent many long mornings there!
Two things to note - many shops and restaurants close on mondays, and the main restaurant on Deia beach doesn’t accept card payments, wish we’d known that after turning up hungry!
Deia beach is very picturesque and great for a swim but not massively child friendly as it’s just rocks with not much shade. However Sóller is just a 20 min drive along a windy coast road . We went there almost every day to enjoy the clear water, sandy beach and Italian gelato.
Finally I really want to emphasize how happy we were with our host. Mya, who is the property manager, really went above and beyond to help us. She always replied quickly to messages, and gave us a lot of help to deal with an incident where someone scratched our rental car with their car. She made calls and did translations and arranged for us to meet the local police officer. She really did save a lot of stress on our holiday and we are so grateful! Also the directions to get to the house were spot on and included detailed instructions with photos.
We will definitely be returning next year!
