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!
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.

A secluded mountain retreat
A delightful finca, now with a new plunge pool, quiet (ok, if you ignore the neighbouring, occasional donkey which sounds like its being castrated!). It is beautifully situated up a narrow, private, hairpin strung 3kms road, so do insist on a small hire car, and resist the upgrade. The finch is a small really 2 person facility with all mod cons, including internet and the terrace has the most stunning views. Because of its position you benefit from the afternoon and evening sun, but not the morning sun. Despite having a car we hired cycles from Port de Soller and cycled back up 3kms and 1000 feet of climbing each evening and on 3 occasions took the old pitched stone track to Fornalutx for supplies and an evening meal (30min walk down and 40 back). The owner Vero was most helpful, from meeting up through to bits of advice locally and also ensuring everything was just so (e.g. water delivery; welcome bits and pieces etc). Thoroughly recommend it for those who enjoy the outdoors and peace and quite away from the crowds.
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 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.

Peace and Tranquility
Sorry for belated review, where does the time go, but just had to add our glowing report. We were the first to use the new pool which was cool but divine. Felt quite privileged to stay in this little oasis away from it all, and the windy road was the price we were happy to pay! Just what we needed, thanks for a wonderful memory.

absolutely amazing!
This little casita in the mountains of Tramuntana is great! The location and view are amazing, ans do is the pool and bbq. If you are looking for rest, this is the place to be, the only sound we heard was from the monkeys and sheep. The road to the house is a bit adventurous, but no problem with a small car. we had a great time, hope to go back soon!

Beautiful sunsets, wonderful terrace
We spent a week here in September and had a wonderful time. The road to the property is narrow and winding but all part of the rural Majorca experience! Very clean and comfortable. Great shower, comfortable bed and good cooking facilities. We used the outdoor barbecue as well as cooking indoors. We spent most of the week on the terrace reading, eating, chatting and snoozing then cooling off in the plunge pool. The sunsets over the sea were quite spectacular and we felt truly rested by the end of the week. Thank you Veronica, it was lovely.

Etwas zu abseits
Das kleine Häuschen liegt sehr abseits am Berg, auf der Nordwestseite. Frühstück auf der Sonnenterrasse ist nicht, da die Sonnenstrahlen erst mittags das Grundstück erreichen. Trotz Ortskenntnis haben wir uns von den Angaben hier täuschen lassen.
Die Ortsmarkierung in der Karte ist nicht korrekt! Die Casita liegt etwa dreimal so hoch und ist über eine sehr enge und serpentinenreiche Privatstraße zu erreichen. Diese Bergpassage ist wirklich ein kleines Abenteuer, besonders bei Gegenverkehr! Für die 3 Kilometer lange Strecke (ab Ortsende Biniaraix/Waschhaus) benötigt man etwa 15 Minuten.
Die Wohnfläche des Hauses beträgt nicht 50 m2, wie in der Beschreibung angegeben, sondern nur ca. 32 m2. Die Bilder geben den gepflegtesten Bereich des Grundstücks wieder. Abgesehen von der Terrasse hat das Areal einen gewissen Baustellencharme, bedingt durch die verteilten Häufen Bauschutt.
Der Pool war nicht zu benutzen. Er war undicht, was den freundlichen Eigentümern offenbar schon länger bekannt war und bei der Anmietung unerwähnt blieb.
Nach 8 Aufenthalten in sehr schönen Fincas/Casitas in den Bergen um Soller und Fornalutx glauben wir beurteilen zu können, dass das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis für dieses Objekt nicht passt!

Absolut ruhig gelegenes Häuschen in der schönsten Gegend von Mallorca. Ein Traum für Naturliebhaber und alle die mal so richtig ausspannen wollen!

Einer der schönsten Orte
Wohl einer der schönste Ort wo wir waren. Alles Perfekt. Tolles kleines Haus mit allem was man braucht und Pool. Wenn man Ausblick, Ruhe und Wandern mag, einfach ein Traum. Wir sind nur selten unterwegs gewesen, weil es einfach so schön war. Auch die Vermieter sind sehr nett, hilfsbereit und entspannt. Wir kommen sicher wieder.
