Fornalutx enjoys a well-deserved reputation as one of the most picturesque villages in Spain and has won several national awards for the loving way in which buildings, streets and amenities are cared for and maintained. Fornalutx offers a true oasis of tranquillity, scented by citrus trees and almond blossoms. As its ancient houses built in mellow, terracotta stone stand sentinel over narrow cobbled mule paths - so the imposing peaks of the Tramuntanas fall steeply into the sea, creating coves so sheltered as to be almost invisible. These in turn give way to lush green valleys and - in the winter - rushing torrentes. Many of these areas can be explored from the village by taking the local twisting mountain roads, revealing a different panoramic vista at each turn.. Close to Fornalutx is the Baranque - one of the wonders of the world. Starting from the hamlet Biniaraix, these stone steps were cut through the mountains perhaps 2,500 years ago by the Carthaginians.

Further details for this holiday house rental in Fornalutx, Spain

For guest book comments please request,: The very name Fornalutx is the subject of debate. Some say it derives from horno and lutz, describing the man’s view of the carbon burning oven lights as they clambered down in the evening from harvesting the terraces. Others say that it originates from the glow of the smithy’s forge, forja or formel. The English poet Robert Graves, who lived for many years in nearby Deía, speculated that the ending '-lutx' came from the Latin 'lux', as in light and Lucifer! He related this to tales of witchcraft in medieval times. Your choice. The smithy is still there; his fine work evidenced by beautiful hand crafted railings and village lampposts.

Returned for 2nd Visit - excellent!

Review Submitted: October 21, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2008
Casa Tim and Gully is a traditional old village house right in the middle of the village so everything is close to hand. It is a "Home from Home" with everything provided - even beach towels! The property is as described and very clean. Our bed was very comfortable and although we didn't try them the others looked just the same! The views from the roof terrace are fantastic and there is a handy little kitchen fully equipped with everything you need just on the floor below. The owner is very friendly and gives very good instructions re arrival etc and in the house is a mine of information and lots of books on Mallorca and other subjects as well. The village is amazing and you can spend hours sitting in the square with a drink or two just people watching! There are lovely walks all around and the town of Soller at the bottom of the mountain is another place to sit and take in the atmosphere. The beach at the Port is only a ten minute drive and the bay is vey pretty with lots of bars and restaurants to try, The village has a few very nice restaurants as well - mainly traditional mallorcan cooking. A place you will want to come back to time and time again!

Lovely charming and cozy house!

Review Submitted: February 27, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2007
We are a family of 6 (two adults and our four children between 8-17) who came from Sweden last summer and rented this very lovely house in Fornaluxt. We felt very welcome. The house and the little village was adorable and Catalinas shop and the sweet oranges we bought there left memories.
It was so hot in august that some of us slept up on the roof terrace, listening to the sheep bells and looking at the stars. There was a very beatiful view from the roof and we had a exciting experience with a thunderstorm up in the mountains around. Our children loved the house and we wormly recommend this pleasant living.
