Shelter "Es Mirador" Cami de S'Illeta - Port de Soller

Small and bijou perfect for 2 people- relaxing and laid back. Uninterrupted views of the Mediterranean from a large terrace. Handy if you are fit for the walk to Soller Bay especially the return. Or have an appropriate car and reasonable driving skill.

Es Mirador is a place for peace and tranquility overlooking the Med from a height that is well worth the hike up from Port De Soller. It's a little quirky but surprisingly spacious, very comforatable and there's plenty of everything you might need. We had a great 4 nights here at the end of a trip to Mallorca. As others have said the road up is a little challenging but we were happy to get here and then just work up and doen to the beach and town as needed. Highly recommended.

We had to interrupt our stay after two days (planned and payed 6 days) because the owner did not inform us in any way about the horribly narrow, steep and curvy road to the property! You need to have a small car with a manual handbreak to be able to manage the steep and curvy road. Trees and branches scratched our car on the narrow road and the automatic handbreak made it impossible to drive the steep curve (you need to reverse once) without ruining the clutch. The house is small, but very nice and clean. No washing machine or dishwasher. The view is nice but there is no possibility to relax on the veranda! No sunbeds, no comfortable chairs. Only two tables with fixed seating benches, that are VERY uncomfortable! The picture of the veranda is misleading! There is no round table or chairs under the roofing! I am sure there are nice hiking paths but if you want to explore the island by car this is the wrong place, due to the limited and difficult accessibility. Also because of the uncomfortable outdoors, you don’t want to spend a lot of time there. We felt trapped in a prison with a nice view. The Owner was not helpful at all, and Vrbo wouldn’t help either. There was no possibility to even get a partial refund, although we left after two nights, because we didn’t want to ruin our car. A very unsatisfying stay and loss of money.

I can certainly say out of the many places we have visited Over the years we will be returning here. The space is perfect for someone looking for a quiet get away. It has stunning vistas directly out your front door. The town is a 20 minute walk which isn’t bad but can be strenuous in the heat. We didn’t find a need to go to town much and mostly stayed in simply leaving to pick up some essentials for dining. The hosts were so gracious and welcoming. I wish we spoke better Spanish so we could properly express the many thanks for sharing their wonderful spot.
