Sa Cabana is a very special home - a stunning location, a beautiful house and a very thoughtful and tasteful renovation. You'll feel instantly relaxed the moment you get there. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay for five nights and wished we had booked longer! I'm not sure the photos do it justice.
Biel, who manages the property, was so friendly and helpful - meeting us in Soller at the Eroski supermarket where we got some initial provisions and then showing us the way to the house. He was also brilliant at answering questions through the week.
You will see this in other reviews, but please take note - the private driveway to the house is not for the faint-hearted: the first journey up was pretty nerve-wracking (and I am a confident driver) with some very narrow parts and some tight hairpins as well as steep inclines. Take it slowly with as narrow car as you can hire and take the advice to get an automatic!! Something with decent ground clearance would also be good. You get used to it and we started to appreciate the drive through the olive trees and up the mountain.
But the drive is worth it... the finca is perfect for relaxing and removing yourself from everyday life. You hear the tinkling of bells on the sheep roaming the hills, you get the smells from the various fruit trees and flowers, the house is welcoming and so well set up for big lunches around the outside (or inside) tables, time to chill out by yourself and swims in the refreshing pool.
The walk down to Fornalutx is about 40 minutes (about an hour up!) - you walk down the drive until you reach a signpost, which is very clear. It's a gorgeous little town and a perfect place for lunch or a morning coffee and pastry.
Because of the drive I would say Sa Cabana is better set up for people wanting to stay at the house more than for exploring Mallorca, but either way, it will really charm you. It was our first time to Mallorca and we fell in love, in no small part due to this wonderful place.
