Soller area holiday apartment: Port de Sóller

I stayed in this apartment for 1 week along with my wife and our 7yr old son.

We had a really great time.

The apartment was presented in immaculate condition and as described.

The apartment is right on the beach, literally 10 metres from the front door to the beach over a nice pedestrianised area with lots of restaurants and cafés. (Tip: Chez Nous downstairs do lovely croissants, pain au chocolats …etc freshly made every morning.)

Our son is disabled and often uses a large buggy. The apartment is accessible via the rear entrance (the front has a few steps) and there is a lift to the first floor where the apartment is.

The terrace of the apartment really gives you so much space. We had breakfast there every morning with lovely views of the mountain range.

The owner supplied a good information pack to get to grips with the local area.

(Another Tip: if you plan on hiring a car at any point, arrange it as early as possible as there are not that many hire car firms in the area, we tried hiring with 2 days notice and everything was fully booked.)

The beach is in good condition although sometime the sea can get a fair amount of litter washed up in places, presumably due to the nearby harbour.

(Tip 3: make sure to clean out your ears after swimming in the sea. There are fresh water showers all along the beach.)

There are some really nice restaurants around the whole bay, we ate mostly around the marina, a lovely atmosphere. nearby Soller is also worth a trip to eat on the main square. We went to Café Central which had good service and food at a reasonable price.

I would definitely consider coming back to this property for another holiday and would recommend it to friends and family. I also wish I'd stayed for 2 weeks as it's very easy to relax in Port de Soller.

(Tip 4: We booked our transfers before we left. It would have worked out about 30€ cheaper to have just caught a taxi off the street and they all have set prices, so you can't get ripped off)
