Citrus Groves & Dramatic Coast

The holiday confirmed our good experience of Inntravel.

The beautiful walks through the orange and lemon groves were a highlight of the holiday.  The food at a local restaurant was fantastic, Ca'n Gata and the staff were brilliant at providing vegetarian options and superb Mallorca wines. 
Our accommodation was beyond our expectations and we are planning a return visit next May.

The festival was a bonus, we enjoyed the music, dancing and street entertainment.

We had a glorious holiday in Soller. We stayed at Ca's Curial which was wonderful. Our room was very spacious and the hotel itself is like a little oasis smelling of orange blossom and in easy walking distance (10 minutes) from the town centre. The staff could not have been more helpful. Breakfasts are superb and the dinners were excellent too, show-casing some tasty Mallorcan cuisine. We ate out a few times and would recommend Luna 36 and Petiti Celler cas Carreter.  
We walked every day and found the walks to be varied and well marked. We particularly enjoyed the Fornalutz/Mirador walk although we did it the other way round ending up at Fornalutz for a late lunch. We also enjoyed the walk down from the lake - it's only 20 minutes or so by taxi - although going down is hard work on the knees, it's a good path and well worth it. The walk to the Refuge is interesting too.  
Antonio, the taxi driver, is a well informed and friendly local.  He had lots of great tips and also recommended a fantastic restaurant for our brief stay in Palma - Celler Sa Premsa. Antonio was always prompt and courteous and drove us with care and consideration.  
All in all, a really wonderful and well organised holiday! 

The heady perfume of orange blossom as you walk through the citrus groves is something I shall always remember. I loved the walks through the countryside to the beautiful stone villages in the Mallorcan mountains. Travelling at the end of April, I was lucky to enjoy six days of sunny weather with the chance to sit under the lemon tree and relax by the hotel pool at the end of the day.

Recommendations: Miga de Nube slow coffee atelier - where art and good coffee meet in pretty surroundings. Interesting cakes and meals all locally sourced. They have a lovely courtyard behind the cafe but close at 4.00pm. If you have done too much walking and want a relaxing morning I can recommend a visit to the Ecovinyassa orange grove for a relaxing tour of the farm followed by a light snack, which is included in the ticket. All in all the holiday was delightful, lovely hotel, friendly staff, no problems with flights, airports or Covid thank heavens. Hope to return sometime to do the Archdukes trail around Valldamossa.

Excellent holiday in a beautiful setting. The hotel staff were exceptionally helpful providing local knowledge and assistance where needed. The self guided  walks from one centre enabled us to select walks of varying distance as we felt able. The walks were well directed and allowed us to explore the surrounding countryside of Soller which was beautiful with the many orange,  lemon and olive groves and wild spring flowers.  Local bus services were cheap any easy to use, but very busy at peak times.

Soller is a great base for walking from with no need to hire a car. Public transport was really good.

Given that our arrival and departure days were cloudy and wet, we were delighted that we were able to enjoy each hiking day in ideal weather conditions. The main square was very accessible from our hotel and was a hive of activity each day and, particularly, for pre-dinner drinks. We tried a range of restaurants for both lunch and evening meals - two stand outs were Ca'n Llimona and Sa Granja. 

Ideal walking in a lovely part of Mallorca. Excellent hotel.

We had the most gorgeous holiday from start to finish. Everything was perfect... the hotel, the location in Soller, the food both in the hotel and the local restaurants, the pool, the walking, the views, the citrus groves and olive groves, the fresh orange juice, the tram, train and buses, the little towns and villages, the weather. Amazing. And I can't praise Inntravel staff highly enough for the gargantuan efforts made to make this holiday happen in very challenging circumstances.

We were lucky in that we had a glorious week's weather at the beginning of March and had an unrestricted holiday immediately prior to the national lockdown resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic. The daytime temperatures were warm, but dropped off noticeably once the sun set behind the surrounding mountains, so guests taking the holiday at a similar time of year would be advised to take warmer clothing, particularly long-sleeved shirts, for the evenings Soller has plenty of opportunities for eating out in the evenings. We particularly enjoyed Ca'n Pintxo and also Ca'n Llimona. The lady owner/chef at the latter was so friendly and welcoming even taking time to advise us to choose one starter between us due to the size of the portion. The included evening dinners at Ca'l Bisbe were also excellent, good value, with reasonably priced wine and friendly staff. We enjoyed all the walks, our particular highlight being the descent from Cuber reservoir through the Barranc de Biniaraix. We only regretted the fact that we didn't have sufficient time to do the walk from Valldemossa or the walk to Cala Tuent.

Great little bustling town a couple of miles from the gorgeous Port Soller. Most walks begin from the town square and take you through the orange, lemon and olive groves. Paths are well-marked and the views well worth the climb. Highlight walk would be to Cala Tuent, catching the boat back. Loads of space on board even if there is a big queue! Good selection of restaurants in Soller; C'an Pinxto, Cafe Parisienne (have a go at Spanish and they'll love you !); and Port Soller; Kingfisher (book ahead). Nice trip into Port Soller on the tram - catch the last one back at 21.05 after dinner. Use the train into Palma from just above the town square as a quaint form of transport, although the bus is cheaper but can be more crowded.

The cobbled walking routes are pretty steep & uneven. We were grateful to have taken comfortable walking boots though we did see many others doing the walks in trainers.

Another perfectly organised holiday with Inntravel. Stayed at Ca's Curial which I highly recommend - wonderful breakfast and also high quality dinners in a lovely setting.

Only hint is to always book restaurants 2 nights ahead - even in October they are full in Soller! Recommendations for dinner:

- La Luna www.luna36.es - fab, went there twice!

- Can Llimona www.canllimonasoller.com. Serves delicious fresh pasta - don't be put off by very small menu or the fact that it looks like a cafe on the outside, there are several rooms upstairs and the owners are so passionate about what they do - highly recommend

- La Vila, Hotel Soller - on the main square but lovely garden at the back - www.lavilahotel.com

Antonio our taxi driver was a delight and very helpful. Hotel was lovely and the staff very friendly and helpful. We loved Soller and found it the perfect balance with plenty to do but not too busy.
