The cottage is set within a landscaped garden of citrus, olive, and palm trees, and is totally enclosed by traditional drystone walls covered with wisteria and bougainvillea. There is a lawn area and a further 3000sq.m of olive terraces around the house. In addition there is a parking area.

Sóller Town:
Sóller is a historic market town, only 20 minutes from the island’s capital Palma, nestled amidst orange and lemon groves between the turquoise Mediterranean sea with its hidden coves and beaches, and the olive-terraced mountains with their ancient honey-coloured stone villages.
Region:
The dramatic and rural Tramuntana Mountains make the region a varied and interesting place to visit in all seasons, especially if you like to walk and cycle. There are many little villages in the area to explore such as Fornalutx, Deiá, Llucalcari and Biniaraix, and the year round local festivals and traditions in each town and village are particularly special to experience.

The cottage is suitable for families with small children. The cottage is powered entirely by solar panels, and there is a water deposit which is filled by rainwater (or truckloads of water in summer), treated by an ultraviolet light system. Therefore, we urge our guests to be aware of water and light consumption. We request that appliances with high voltage are not used at the property.
