THIS is the true luxury….what a little slice of paradise, being so close to nature from what felt like the top of the world with views over the gorgeous town of Soller. Peter and Esperanza’s mountain cabin is possibly the most idyllic and breathtaking location we have ever stayed at. And such great hosts too….from making the booking, to the very detailed directions on how to reach the cabin, the warm and friendly reception on arrival, to the tips and suggestions during our stay they were very hospitable and helpful. Upon arrival, Esperanza had picked fresh oranges and prunes for us from the orchard, had left a bottle of the delicious olive oil they produce on the farm, along with a bottle of Mallorcan wine, a couple of beers and a bottle of water in the fridge….all perfectly cooled. The water was especially welcome after the beautiful but sometimes hair raising drive up the mountain. The roads are very narrow and winding, but once you have done the trip a first time, it becomes a fun challenge to take those hairpin corners in one go. Don’t let others descriptions of the road put you off….it’s worth every exhilarating moment. The house itself was spotlessly clean when we arrived and had everything from well stocked quality BBQ utensils (with an outside kitchen and BBQ area that possibly has the best panoramic vistas in the world). A tree shaded hammock provided a comfy spot from which we admired the majesty of the surrounding mountains and the bed was comfortable, the view from which was just insanely beautiful, both the starry skies at night and the shadow of the mountain cast over the village in the mornings). Even (Nordic) walking sticks were at hand to for those who might need help getting up and down the side of the mountain to the very quaint gastronomically inclined little village of Fornalutx where we had many delicious meals. The walks up and down were rewarded by either the great food in the village or coming back home to the cabin in the evening with the lights of Soller twinkling in the distance like a smaller, more friendlier version of LA from Mulholland drive. I can’t recommend this place enough….I’m so glad we found it and we will definitely be back. As Esperanza said when we arrived, one has to climb high to get to heaven, and what a little slice of heaven this truly is. Thank you Peter and Esperanza for understanding the true meaning of hospitality and creating and sharing this space which quietly commands respect and gratitude.
