Sóller · Serra de Tramuntana · Mallorca

A stone house where the orange groves start.

Six rooms behind a green shutter, three minutes from la plaça.

The House

We kept the house mostly as we found it.

The walls are the old Sóller stone, rounded and river-worn, the kind the masons set by hand a century ago. We added good beds and a courtyard that holds the afternoon light. Not much else needed changing.

Sóller has a way of doing the work for you: the bells from la plaça, the smell of orange blossom in spring, the tren de fusta rattling down to the port the way it has since 1912. You hear all of it from here, and none of it too loudly.

The Rooms

Six rooms, each a little different.

Some look onto the street and its lamp-lit stone, some onto the courtyard. Thick walls keep the August heat outside, the linen is actually good, and we leave fresh flowers and the keys to the front door.

A suite under the old beams, the floor its original hydraulic tile.

The morning

  • Oranges from the valley
  • Bread & good coffee
  • As little ceremony as you like

Breakfast is oranges, bread, and coffee, taken in the courtyard or not at all, as you please.

Cream and Sóller-orange roses left fresh in a room.
Sóller

A town in a bowl of mountains, the Tramuntana standing over it.

Step out the door and la plaça is three minutes on foot: the café tables, the Saturday market, the old wooden tram that still runs to Port de Sóller through the groves.

Walk ten minutes the other way and the orange terraces begin. This is the Mallorca people mean when they say they found the real one.

  • 3' on foot to la plaça
  • 10' to the orange terraces
  • 1912 the tren de fusta, still running
Breakfast on a room balcony overlooking Sóller's rooftops, a palm and the Tramuntana mountains beyond.
From a room balcony — juice, fruit, and the rooftops climbing to the Tramuntana.
