Travel:
The nearest airport, Palma, is served by a multitude of airlines, and is about 30km (20 minutes) away. If you plan to hire a car it is probably best to collect it from the airport. Car hire not essential though, and taxis are relatively cheap. Pick up can be arranged, if required.
Allocated car parking.
Distances:
Sóller town is about 3km, served by a quaint wooden tram, and there is a wealth of things to visit nearby. Examples are Binairaix and Fornalutx - two of the prettiest villages in the area, and the monastery cell where Chopin and George Sands stayed in Valledemosa is nearby. A mountain train runs between Sóller and Palma (5/6 times a day).
Further details:
Sóller and its Port are located in the beautiful north-western region of Mallorca. They are surrounded by the highest mountains in Mallorca, in a valley dominated by the Puig Major and L'Ofre. Soller is an attractive town, with many interesting buildings, including the parish church and the Convent of San Francisco. The landscape of the Soller valley is lovely, with groves of orange and lemons trees loaded with ripe fruit as early as February, and mountains terraced with olive trees.
People come to Port de Sóller for many reasons, and if you tire of the beach, the area is well-known for its walking opportunities (walk directly from the apartment). Boat rides can be arranged in the port. There are some spectacular scenic drives to Alcudia and Pollensa, and fascinating monsteries (Lluc) to visit at all times of the year. The pretty village of Deia (erstwhile home of the poet Robert Graves) is nearby.
