Great property in a great area for walking.
Veronica’s property is in an idyllic location in an olive grove high up in the hills above Fornalutx and Biniaritx in the Soller valley. Both villages are a 40ish minute walk away, have good restaurants and the former a great wee shop as well. The valley has terrific walking, with much of it well signposted. The property and garden are both fitted out to a high standard with all the features you would expect. Views are amazing and the pool is lovely (though a bit chilly in April!) Veronica is a very good host. The only con for us was that the amazing peacefulness of the garden was occasionally interrupted by the sound of motorbikes and chainsaws from across the valley.

Hot week lazing like lizards
This is a quiet hideaway which has all you’ll need - a perfect romantic escape. We particularly enjoyed swimming in the evening later on accompanied by the friendly bats! The drive up was a bit tricky to start with but perfected by the end of our stay - thanks Veronica!

Absolutely perfect for chilling and relaxing
Even before entering the house we knew it was perfect. We wanted to unwind and relax and that’s exactly what we did. The house and it’s surroundings were very clean and well kept. Fabulous. Looking forward to going back.

Small isolated mountain hideaway - a nature lovers dream
Have recently returned from 7 nights in this mountain hideaway where we enjoyed peace and isolation, great scenery and nature galore. Both parts of close-by Soller (port & town) make for an excellent holiday and the small village of Fornalutz (walkable) was great for provisions & refreshment. This cottage totally ticks the boxes that we asked for and the location was fantastic. The property itself is small but compact. Basically, great bathroom/shower with plentiful hot water. Small kitchen, workable. Bedroom does the job. Sofa awful. Wifi passable considering you are halfway up an isolated mountain. Outside space excellent, tho I do think astroturf is out of place. Outside furniture is great. Downsides....the mountain road up & down is an experience to remember and what is perhaps exciting & exhilarating to some, I actually found quite stressfull & limiting...no popping out on the spur of the moment for that toilet roll! When reviewers mention that only the smallest rental car is advised, THEY REALLY MEAN IT! Flyscreens on ALL the windows and door would have been appreciated as the mozzies were biting, and men in particular may wish to note no air-con. But wow, what an experience...sheep & goats for neighbours and not another soul for a week if that is your wish. Made friends with the donkeys who WILL disturb your sleep and watched the sun rise from behind the mountain at 8.40ish each morning & sink down into the ocean late into the evening. Peace & serenity in bucketloads.The only real negative of our stay was that halfway through our week the sides of the pool started to turn green and despite being told that someone would call, as far as we are aware no-one ventured up the mountain to rectify. Which meant no pool for the last few days. All in all a wonderful adventure.

A blissful little retreat
The setting is simply spectacular and really unique to the island with only a handful of houses dotted up the valley. There's plenty outdoor space and everything flows very well from the house to the patio. The pool is up a few steps behind the cottage, and apart from the odd walker passing on the path, it feels completely private. The house itself is compact but really well appointed. As keen cooks - we found everything we needed in the small kitchen - and of course, cooking on a barbecue with that view as the sun sets, was heavenly! A couple of little indoor negatives: the sofa isn't very comfy; and at the time we visited the condensation (from the mountain air) meant everything was a bit damp. There is a dehumidifier but it didn't really solve the problem. And finally - I can't not mention the drive to the cottage. It really is quite heart-stopping at first, but after a few times, it's not so bad. It's the price you pay to be up so high with those spectacular views!!

Wonderful Isolation
The villa - wonderfully secluded in the hills above Fornalutx. The location is amazing and the views from the terrace are stunning. The mountain vista has to be seen at sunset to be believed. The price to pay for this is the drive from Binaraix up the narrow single track road. It does require nerves of steel to negotiate the road and insist on the smallest hire car available! The villa is well equipped and comfortable for 2 people. The bathroom was well designed and there was plenty of hot water. The small pool is an additional bonus. It was relatively easy to self cater here as there are plenty of utensils and cookware. Veronica who manages the accommodation is excellent and her communication was outstanding - we arrived on a very late delayed flight and she was so considerate, even providing groceries to help us over the first day or so. There are fruit trees surrounding the villa and we had an endless supply of figs. There are walking routes from the side gate of the villa taking you higher up the valley and down to Fornalutx and beyond. Keep an eye out for the bird life - in the space of 10 minutes we saw black vultures, booted eagles and ravens flying above the crags behind the villa. If you want to just relax, there are plenty of outdoor chairs and sunloungers on the large terrace. Overall we were impressed with the villa but it's best feature is the location and views

A perfect location for “getting away from it all”, surrounded by nature.
Two weeks of bliss in a perfect location for “getting away from it all”. The well-equipped and nicely clean house, surrounded by nature (including the donkeys and sheep having the occasional conversation - humorous and delightful!) was just perfect. It all made us not want to venture out too much, especially with the wonderful views and peace and quiet. Lots of options for lying/sitting in or out of the sun were very welcome, as was the excellent bathroom, great shower and an abundance of towels and linen. Veronica made us feel very welcome - thank you so much!

A lovely mountain retreat
Great walking, beautiful sunsets and peace and quiet. The cottage is well equipped and tucked away in a quiet mountain setting up a windy road above Fornalutx. Amazing views out to the Port of Soller and up the valley to the mountains. A great spot.
