The views are truly spectacular with vivid and stunning sunsets over the mountains- more than once we were really moved by the sight of the skies around us. Peter and Esperanza greeted us warmly and there was a beautiful basket of fruit and wine as well as cold water drawn from their own well. The house (sorry, but cabin brings to mind horrid, wooden chalet-like structures!) is of traditional Mallorcan style and we loved it at first sight- it suited us perfectly. We particularly enjoyed cooking in the wood-burning cooker (both inside and outside); Steve managed to create a home made pizza from scratch, the dough rising successfully on the warm terrace outside!
I enjoyed the hammock too- particularly good for getting rid of stress!
But it was the surroundings that we most enjoyed, sitting out until late every night. We ourselves live on a quiet farm with few neighbours so we wanted somewhere peaceful...
This property wouldn't suit everyone- the drive along very narrow lanes with numerous hairpin bends are scary, especially at first! However we would definitely want to return to Peter and Esperanza's mountain home. We cherish our memories of our time there.
Finally, there is much to see and do in nearby Soller- we loved the town, never having visited it before we felt immediately at home. There are many other lovely traditional towns nearby and Deia is especially beautiful. We wanted to do lots of walking but having torn ligaments just two weeks before we left home made this impossible. The walks we know are great in the area but actually we thoroughly enjoyed just chilling out and relaxing- we realised we don't do enough of this!
Thank you both. We will return!
