The village:
Fornalutx was twice elected one of Spain’s most beautiful and best preserved villages. Lovely mountain walks with stunning views wherever you go. Towards the valley of Soller with its lemon- and orange groves or up the majestic Tramuntana mountain or charming country roads with olive groves, goats and sheep.
The village itself is a 'living' village with banks, post office, hair dresser and beautician,shops, butcher, iron monger, carpenter, fisherman and a lovely main square(plaza) with the church, bars, shops and restaurants surrounding it.The women, like in the old days, still come and do their laundry just outside the house in the depot of water from the well. Soller the nearby town derives its name from the Moorish word 'sullier' which means golden valley from its orange groves. There was a great trade of the citrus with France and it is said that the Sun King himself, Louis XIV would eat no other oranges than the ones from Soller. A charming antique tram runs down to the Port.
Es Molí:
The house is named Es Molí which means wheat mill. Charmingly converted it occupies the lower part of an old mill, the mill stone is now the table in the little stone paved sitting area, shaded by bougainvillaea-covered pergola. The garden has a barbecue for al fresco dinners.
Fabulous mountain views and evening sun can be enjoyed from the windows in the upper sitting area.
The kitchen is fully and well equipped with high quality fridge/freezer, oven, gas stove, micro oven and dishwasher.
