This was our third visit to Port Soller, but our first stay in an Airbnb. By far, it was our favourite visit.
The apartment was perfect and we enjoyed the freedom of having our own space. The trip was made particularly easy by the fast and helpful replies from Pere at Mallorca Dream Homes. We were able to easily access the apartment on our arrival on the Sunday morning, and everything was very clean and tidy.
The views were absolutely incredible, and the apartment made the perfect base to enjoy Port Soller and explore the Island. The apartment had everything we needed, including a hair dryer, hair straighteners and an iron. A full list of all the equipment available in the flat would have been helpful, so this may be something to think about. The WiFi was excellent also.
We visited the office on the Monday to provide copies of our passports and to pay the tourist tax. The office is on the outskirts of Soller, which wasn't a problem for us as we had hired a car. If you don't have a car, then you would need to take a taxi or the tram so this is something to bear in mind.
The spectacular views does mean the apartment is quite a way up the hill as you leave the sea front. From the beach, the road climbs steadily before the steps bring you up to the bottom of the apartment block. You then climb three flights of stairs to get to the flat. If you have any health or mobility issues, this is something to think about as it can be quite challenging. The steps at the back of the block to take you to the road above, where we parked our car, are much steeper and quite tricky to climb. The hill and the stairs also means the apartment probably wouldn't be suitable if you have a baby or small child. The safety glass in front of the patio doors is also not very high.
There are several supermarkets within walking distance of the apartment, and we enjoyed breakfasts of fresh fruit, bread and local honey every morning whilst enjoying the spectacular views. There is also a very handy shop at the bottom of the stairs towards the beach, which sells essentials including water and freshly made bread.
Port Soller is a beautiful place to stay, with a wonderful beach and lots of lovely restaurants. The apartment is a fantastic place to stay in order to enjoy all this.
We would definitely stay again. Thanks for making our holiday so magical.
