This is such a beautiful part of Mallorca - one that we had not visited before. The mountains are spectacular and the walks took us to some of the highest peaks. Walking through the forests was a tranquil experience with many birds - it was interesting to see so many robins and chaffinches as well as the big raptors. The history of the charcoal burners, lime kilns and ice houses was evident as we walked along. The villages are delightful with honey coloured stone houses and cobbled streets. The weather was mild - shorts and t-shirts in March is an unexpected treat.
We had a lovely holiday thank you, the hotels hit the mark for us. All the staff were so friendly and helpful in every place we stayed.
The meal we had included at Cal Bisbe was fabulous. The Es Petit Hotel in Vallemossa was lovely, there was a fire lit in the lounge each day after walking which was very welcome as it was quite cold and blustery weather wise.
Eating wise we loved the Es Roquissar restaurant in Valldemossa, tiny, delightful, friendly and such yummy food.
The Cafe Med in Fornalutx was a fabulous find, a really welcoming reception from a husband and wife team, and again great food.
This holiday offered a range of interesting walks with a particular highlight being the Cuber Reservoir to Fornalutx route. Molón restaurant is close to the hotel and serves delicious small and sharing plate options. In Sóller we would recommend Restaurante Luna 36 and in Valdemossa restaurant Es Taller.

My personal highlight was the climb up Gros Puig. The views from the top were stunning and I felt a sense of achievement, having actually climbed a mountain! I also enjoyed swimming in the sea in the harbour at Deia. It was great not to have to worry about hotels, luggage etc. I liked the fact that all the hotels were centrally placed in towns which made it easy to explore and to eat out.
The quality of the accommodation was excellent. We especially enjoyed our breakfast sitting outside on the terrace surrounded by stunning scenery. It was also good to be able to have a refreshing dip in the sea or hotel pool at the end of our walk given that we experienced hot, sunny weather.
Another great Inntravel holiday which as usual ran like clockwork. Some challenging walking at times but mostly on very clear paths with excellent signposting so great choice for anyone nervous about following instructions and a map. We started with a very welcoming greeting from our driver Antonio who safely took us to our first hotel in Fornalutx giving us lots of useful information on the way. Fornalutx was a lovely little village with a great atmosphere. On the first day we did the walk from the Cuber Reservoir. The lady at reception organised a taxi to take us to the start which cost about 22 euros. It was a fairly challenging walk with a long descent of a cobbled path but perfectly manageable. On the second day, it was a straightforward walk to the next hotel in Soller. Soller was our favourite hotel and our favourite town. Ca's Curial is a beautiful oasis of calm but is only a very short walk into the town which is nice and busy with lots of nice restaurants. We would particularly recommend Ca'n Pintxo (reservations reccommended). There were so many places to eat we almost didn't take up our one included dinner. To be honest the menu did not sound that appetising (think there was something lost in translation!) but so glad we did as food was delicious. Did a couple of walks round Soller suggested in our instructions. Favourite was walk down to Port de Soller and we then got tram back. We finished our walking in Valdemossa which is a very pretty but busy little town. Would recommend Troya restaurant and also Es Roquissar. Did the walk up to Puig Gros which had a very steep start but had great views and after the initial ascent was a fairly easy walk. We finished our trip with a couple of nights in Palma which we really loved. Had a great walk along the seafront up to Portixol. Hotel Almudaina was a great hotel with a central location and a lovely Skybar. Would recommend Ombu restaurant not far from the hotel which is a modern tapas place. You need to book as very busy.
The walk from Lake Cuber was a an excellent introduction to the area through beautiful scenery, flora and fauna. All the walks were extremely well marked. We ate at the Molon and S'Aturada restaurants both excellent. In fact at the Molon we rejected desserts and went for another couple of tasty tapas. Soller and walks to the coast were great.
We enjoyed most of the walk to Deia apart from the last part but that was due to the hunger and the delay for the motor race.
Really enjoyed the Hotel in Valldemossa. Views from the room, breakfast on the terrace, position in the village, I could find no fault. A great little town, particularly towards the end of the day when it went quieter glad I took my sketch pad.
This was our first Inntravel holiday. We enjoyed the walking very much. We had expected to either do circular walks or walk on to the next hotel and not to have to use taxis and buses to complete or start the walks some days (one taxi cost €75). The hotel in Fornalutx is in serious need of repair. We witnessed a glass panel fall and shatter just missing 2 guests. The premium room was tired, lights not working, dirty in places, loose door handles etc, if that was the best room I dread to think what the others were like. The packed lunch was terrible, we didn’t take it. Celine was the redeeming feature there, but our contact with the owner was poor. The other 2 hotels C’al Bisbe and Es Petit Hotel Valldemossa were very good and we would stay there again. It would be good to offer a room only option at all hotels and it would have been nice to be able to upgrade the dinner option at C’al Bisbe. Antonio the driver was very helpful and reliable.
We were concerned about the glass panel breaking at the hotel in Fornalutx, and contacted them for more information; on the day mentioned, there were extremely high winds, which resulted in a door swinging (there are signs requesting that guests keep these doors shut) and the glass shattering.
There are multiple walking options on most days, with varying transport requirements, and some require no transport at all. The most expensive taxi journey is only required on an optional walk, and if the boat is not running from Cala Tuent back to Port de Soller.
Another excellent walking holiday with no problems at all.
We had a lovely holiday, even though the walking was more challenging than expected due to the record heat wave in Europe. The walking notes were detailed and clear and we never had any trouble following them or finding our way. The hotels were all very cosy and pleasant, and given the weather we particularly appreciated the pools at Fornalutx Petit Hotel and Ca'l Bisbe. As for eating out, we recommend the restaurants Molón (in Fornalutx), Ca'n Pintxo (in Soller) and Bon Lloc (in Palma), especially for anyone looking for vegetarian-friendly fare.
Overall an excellent holiday in the Tramuntana mountains; the Hotel Ca'l Bisbe was fabulous with a very calm and relaxed atmosphere where you could quite happily relax by the pool with some lovely background music, all very low key after a good days walking. We also stayed at Es Petit in Valldemossa right in the little town centre, a wonderful boutique hotel with fabulous views from the balcony over breakfast.
The walk to Tuent and the boat back to Port de Soller was definitely the highlight. Local buses are far the cheapest, most convenient, way to get around. You pay on the bus. For our day trip to Palma, we took the bus, which was very straight forward and far cheaper than train or taxi.
We particularly enjoyed the upgrade to Ca's Curial which we felt was well worth the extra.
Our 2 nights in Palma prior to starting the walk was the perfect introduction to Mallorca, and is highly recommended.
All of the walks were brilliant. We have been on a few Inntravel adventures, and this must be one of the best. The climbs were always rewarded by stunning sea views.
Possibly our favourite was the walk to Tuent, stopping at the "cafe" for orange juice. The following steep climb was soon forgotten on reaching the beautiful coastal path, the superb restaurant, and the secluded beach. The receptionist at C'al Bisbe was very helpful in booking our return trip on the water taxi, which turned up very promptly.
Our only regret would be not making the effort to explore Deia, beyond the very inviting, cafe just past the bus stop. In our defence, the day was very hot and the climb up from the beach very steep, and the earlier bus was too great a temptation. Maybe next time....
Naturally, food is a very important feature of this kind of holiday. Highlights for us were the breakfasts at C'all Bisbe - lovely views, eating outdoors by the pool, superb pastries, pancakes, fruit... We have invented the 4 - course breakfast.
Sa Aturada in Fornalutx. So good we ate there both evenings. It is popular with the locals, and with good reason. Try the pork wrapped in cabbage, but only if ravenous. Which you will be having walked down from Cuber.
S'estret in Valldemossa - our favourite tapas of the whole trip.
For me, as a first time customer of Inntravel, the highlights were the accommodation in both Fornalutx & Valldemossa together with the wonderful walking in stunning scenery.
The holiday was brilliant from start to finish. The walking was great and we certainly discovered some unused muscles in our legs after the descent from Cuber Reservoir. Accommodation and food were all excellent. We would have preferred an extra night in Fortnalutx rather than Soller and most of the suggested walks can be done from there too. Like a previous comment we found the distances to be out by a few kilometres. The highlight had to be Puig Gros from Valldemossa. We almost did not bother but it was easily the best walk of the week. It was much easier underfoot than any of the other walks and the main ascent is done over a very short distance early on making the rest of the walk a breeze. The scenery was also different to anything else encountered during the week and the views throughout were just stunning. You will not regret doing it!
INNTRAVEL NOTE: We're pleased you enjoyed the fabulous walking to be had in this area. As with all of our walks, the distances are very carefully checked; we find that 'raw' unedited distances recorded by GPS devices are almost always too long by 10-15%.
Small pack lunches would be a bonus and saves searching for a supermarket / shop before starting the walks.
A well organised walking tour of a very beautiful area, punctuated by charming villages, with excellent food and a particularly super hotel with a wonderful swimming pool in fragrant orange orchards. Highly recommended by seasoned walkers with high expectations.
This is not a criticism, but we did find the descent from Cuber Reservoir very demanding, particlarly exacerbated by the steep cobbled stone steps. It did make us reassess our capability and so chose not to attempt Ses Barques to Caia Tuent. On the route from Fornalutx to Soller the path is blocked by fallen trees. (See 'Careful! just over 100m down the path you come to a set of SP where you continue SA' ). This route is blocked and impassable. Instead you have to take the path we were told to ignore to the L unrtil you reach the concrete track. If you then turn R and walk about 100m you can find where the blocked path meets the concrete track.
We really enjoyed the walks and routes around Soller and Ca's Curial was delightful, breathing in the scent of orange and lemon blossom every day. Our host Andres was really helpful, ringing round at least half a dozen restaurants and hotels to find us somewhere to eat on a busy Sunday night.
We are pleased that you enjoyed the holiday overall, but note that you felt that the Cuber Reservoir walk was more challenging than anticipated. The routes for this holiday are individually graded to help customers select routes which they feel are appropriate. Customers do occasionally mention that the cobbled steps (which are well maintained) make the descent hard work on this walk and we will add advice on this into the holiday notes. We will also monitor the path closure mentioned and inform customers if this is not quickly cleared. Thank you.
This was perhaps the best Inntravel trip we have done, exceeding our expectations. The walks are great and in beautiful, quiet countryside with wonderful views. Some parts of some walks are more challenging than the Grade 1/2 might suggest, and we thought the distances are longer than the walking notes suggest, but all are well worth the effort. The boat was not running from Tuent to Port Sóller, which was a pity, but we did the walk in the reverse direction by getting a taxi to the start point at Tuent. Ca's Curial is well worth upgrading to - it is delightful, and the home-cooked food was delicious. In Valldemossa, the restaurant Se Taller is excellent. If you get the bus from Deia to Valldemossa, get to the stop in good time - it was a bit of a scrum to get on the bus.
Really lovely holiday. You can easily avoid additional costs of taxis because there is plenty of nice walking to be done without.
I will never forget the gorgeous scent of orange blossom on our trip to Mallorca.
Fornalutx: The first walk starting at the Cuber Reservoir was a spectacular start to our holiday. Even with rain, hail and wind we were blown away by the colours, landscape and variety in the walking. Soller: Ca’s Curial was a tranquil oasis with amazing 360* views of the surrounding mountains. The owner, Andres, is one of the most thorough and helpful hoteliers we have ever come across. We enjoyed an extra day here and it was a worthwhile extension to our holiday. Valldemossa: A word of advice - if it breezy in Valldemossa when you start your walk you could experience wild winds around the summit of the walk.
This was a well organised holiday by Inntravel. The suggested walks were all superb, with very easy to follow walking notes. The Tramuntana mountain villages are so attractive and we found all the hotels excellent - in particular Ca's Curial in Soller which was extra special. Andres the Proprietor was so friendly & went out of his way to help. Travel light if going to Petit Hotel Fornalutx - our room was at the top, up lots of very steep stairs. It would be worth upgrading here as the mountain views from the rear/garden are just stunning. The breakfasts surpassed expectations at all our hotels. All in all, a brilliant holiday.
