Notes on accommodation
In all, the house has character - there are wood beams and archways throughout, and the floors are tiled. The white Georgian windows and green shutters add to its charm. The house is suitable for children and the pool is accessed by steps at the back of the house, fenced in by a wrought iron fence, and has a swimming ladder. Should the house be rented outside of the summer months, there is a pretty Jotul stove in the dining room, and another wood burning stove in the living room. There is also central heating. Additional charges are made to pay for all fuel.
Accessibility
The house is on one level which makes it easy for guests with mobility problems, but not wheelchairs. There is a low step from the driveway to the courtyard and the garden is 'flat'.
Outside
The property has lovely gardens which were visited by the Mediterranean Garden Society (Balearic section) in 2008. There is a rockery, wild life pond, trees, lawn and many lovely spots where you can sit, relax and gaze at the surrounding beauty.
There are extensive patios, a lusciously shaded arbour with seating, dining table and portable barbeque. The roof patio, with stunning views, is accessed by steps from the courtyard, and is a perfect spot to end the day with an aperitif or alfresco supper, watching the sun go down on the mountains.
The 7 x7m private swimming pool is self contained at the back of the house, accessed by a stairway and fenced in with wrought iron. It is one depth all over - l.60m - and is entered by a swimming pool ladder. There are 4 'beach' chairs by the pool.
There are 3 separate dining tables and chairs (including the one on the roof patio) so you can dine where you desire and 4 sunloungers for use in the courtyard patios.
Coast/Beach
Puerto Valldemossa is 'just down the road' 5km (a worthwhile experience in itself) and has a pebble beach or swimming from the rocks. The crystal clear waters are superb for swimming and snorkelling. Cala Deya, another lovely spot is a 20 min. drive and Puerto Soller, which has a sandy beach is 30 mins by car.
Golf
The lovely Son Termens Golf Club is a mere 10 minutes down the road, and situated on the mountain hillside. There are many other golf courses within 1/2 hour to 1 hours drive.
Special interest holidays

Distances

Further details
The picturesque village of Valldemossa, famed for its monastery where Chopin and Georges Sand stayed in 1838, is one of the most beautiful villages on the island, surrounded by spectacular mountain views of the Serra Tramuntana range. And it has easy access to all parts of the island. There are many restaurants in all price ranges, from the good value for money, Italian Vesubio, to the exclusive Valldemossa Hotel. There is also an excellent seafood restaurant in the Port. There is a small well stocked supermarket, excellent bakers/patisseries, banks, pharmacy and other stores selling clothing, artwork and gifts. Sundays there is a Market.
The romantic old Valldemossa Monastery, the Palace of King Sancho, Michael Douglas's Costa Nord, and the new Coll Bardolet Cultural Center, provide interesting excursions and art exhibition, along with Miramar and Son Marroig 4/5 kms. away. The very interesting La Granja, showing life on a country estate, is a must, and only a 15 min drive to Esporlas.
At Soller you can take the 'old train' down to Palma, and the tram down to the Port. There are also boat trips to the incredible Sa Calobra gorge (Torrente de Pareis) and along the coast to Deya/Valldemossa.
Deya, once home to the poet Robert Graves, is a mere 10 mins. drive, and abounds with restaurants, the famous La Residencia Hotel, and a bohemian nightlife. There are many classical and jazz concerts in both villages, including the wonderful Sunset Concerts in Son Marroig during the summer months, and the now famous Chopin Piano Festival during August, held in the Cloisters of the Monastery.
For those interested in nature, the garden and area abounds with birds and wildlife. Hiking in our wonderful mountains is a pleasure in store for those that can, and do! And there are 'rock climbing' pistes just down the road.
