Puerto Soller with its small sandy beaches, traditional marina and a choice of restaurants and cafes is a 10 minute drive away.

The BEST Location

Not only was this house luxurious, well-stocked, perfect for families and get togethers, but it's location is awesome. So close to downtown and all it has to offer, but there's even a playground across the street. Great for kids. Really couldn't have asked for a better stay. Thanks Tisha.

Great family holiday

We wanted a house that would cope with three generations and this was perfect with great bars and restaurants close by, the lovely wooden train to take the children to the beach and a house that had everything we needed including a lovely swimming pool. It was everything we had hoped for.

Amazing stay

The house is beautiful and in a prime location. The view is lovely out of all the windows. The kitchen is perfect for a larger group and plenty of space to cook. There are two master suites located on the 3rd floors that are large and welcoming. The den area on the second floor was perfect for the 5 kids we had with us. Tisha was also very helpful before and during our stay. The pool and back patio is beautiful and you may not want to leave it.

Fantastic Family Villa

We had an amazing 2 week holiday in this brilliant family villa. The rooms all very spacious and luxurious, there is a great outside area for eating and relaxing and the swimming pool is amazing - even heated. It is also very easy to walk down to the town square and local shops. Tisha is very organised and enthusiastic and looked after us incredibly well. We hope to return in the future.

Beautiful and well located

I'll echo others in saying this one of the nicest short term rentals I've ever stayed in. What really sets it apart is how well equipped it is. It has every kitchen item you need, including spices and oil. There are plenty of towels and paper products. The water was strong a hot! We enjoyed that everyone had their own space. Best of all were the idillic views from the 3rd floor and the sunrises from the little roof terrace. Don't hesitate to book the perfect property.

Gorgeous!

Stayed last week with a group of 10 friends in this absolutely beautiful villa. The property is in the town of Soller and is in a great location as its a 3 minute walk from the plaza and heart of the town but is quiet and away from the noise. The villa has absolutely everything you'd need from a lovely pool, a fantastic kitchen (which is very well equipped) to really spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. The villa is tastefully decorated and has lots of "areas" which is great when you have a larger group. We couldn't recommend this villa more and will definitely be back for another stay.

Magnificent wedding week in Soller

Our family of 8 stayed over a week at this beautifully restored and decorated villa. The home is as beautiful, romantic and historic as the photos and description of the rental. We could not be happier staying at Tisha Dawson’s home. Every detail from a fully appointed kitchen, bathrooms and pool side dining was perfect. I highly recommend this villa and it’s very convenient location to city center, just blocks away. Tisha Dawson was fantastic to work with every step of our trip to booking to recommendations for everything. This is not always the case with VRBOs. Our stay was perfect! Be confident renting this villa with Tisha.

Amazing Villa with great location

The villa was absolutely lovely. It was even better than pictures depicted. We had a brilliant time there. There were 12 adults and one baby in our party and we had tons of room. We cooked most nights at villa and found it to be extremely well equipped with many pots, pans, serving dishes, plates, cutlery, etc. We could walk to center of Soller in 5 minutes and also walk up into mountains in just minutes too. We loved the location. The property manager/owner, Tisha, was brilliant. If we had any issues they were dealt with immediately. We could not recommend this villa more highly.

A perfect vacation!

We were three families, six adults and six children (age 3 months – 6 years), who spent a fantastic week in Soller and in this beautiful house. The house location is perfect because we could enjoy Sollers village with shopping and restaurants as well as easily and quickly get to the beach and harbor. The house is absolutely magical, the decor is tasteful and stylish and the rooms are generous and large with private bathrooms to each room, which was very practical and lovely. The house's kitchen and living room was large and invited to socializing and cooking, the kitchen was especially well equipped. The garden and the heated pool made life wonderful for both adults and children. The service from the owners before and during our stay was wonderful - We really recommend this lovely house!

Best villa we've ever stayed in

We had an absolutely amazing week at can ballester. The villa is outstanding, even better than the pictures. Tisha could not have been more helpful. Soller and the port are beautiful. The only minor issue we had (with the area not the villa) is the severe lack of taxis at the moment. We didn't rent cars so we relied on taxis to get home from the port at night which was a bit of a nightmare. However if you take the gorgeous little train into the port and manage to make the last train back to soller which is around 9pm I believe, you won't have a problem. Highly highly recommend this and we will be back!

The best house in Soller! Look no further

The history of the house, known as Can Ballester is a great start, most of the original features have been kept and the house has the best of both worlds...authenticity and local flavor and modern day comfort with phenomenal good taste. You will not want to go home, that's the only problem! Making G&Ts with the fragrant lemons from the garden a lovely touch. The house is spotless, huge, perfect to share with friends and family. The garden and views are incredible, the bbq lends itself to a trip to the fish market for a late night outdoor cooking session perfectly! It is run so well, that any questions you have on the area will be happily answered. We totally recommended. For local tips, breakfast at Frau near the picturesque square is a must, casual dinner with tapas at Cal Pintxo is great, or for a special romantic night drive to Cas PatromMarch in Cala Deia. There is nothing in this house that we would change, it made our stay in Soller a week to remember!

'Ca'n Ballester', A stunning Property

A fabulous holiday property with plenty of room inside and outside for our family of 6 adults and 4 children. The whole property is well designed with beautiful interiors and the two master bedrooms are stunning. The lovely open plan kitchen and dining area with seating areas around it makes it a lovely communal space. The outside area has lovely comfy seating on both terraces and another dining area with plenty of loungers around the pool. Soller is lovely and It only takes a few minutes to walk from the villa to the main square where you will find a variety of good restaurants, cafes, boutique shops and, of course, ice cream! Definitely take the famous tram to the Port! Tisha, our Host was so lovely and helpful in giving us lots of information about the villa and Soller and she also made a point of finding out about the availability of GF food in the supermarket as one of our family members is Coeliac. If you want to stay in a lovely area and in a beautiful villa, Ca'n Ballester in Soller is the place to stay. We hope to return one day! Pat & Graham

Amazing Villa in an Amazing Place

This is without a doubt the best appointed villa we have stayed in, the whole property has the feel of a five star hotel and the rooms and building in general are simply stunning. Kitchen is very well equipped with everything you could ever want to cater for yourselves with. Pool area is also great and well enclosed and not significantly overlooked with a wide array of pool toys for the kids. The only slight draw back of the property relates to parking. While it has two off road spaces this isn't really enough to cater for the size of group that would use the house - while there is a public car park opposite this was often full and feeding the meter regularly became a bit of a pain, particularly given the eagle eyed nature of parking attendants in the town! however i think this is a problem all over Soller as it is quite an interesting drive around and parking everywhere is at a premium! however public transport via the train and tram is great.

Tolles Haus, sehr guter Service, Tisha war sehr gut erreichbar und hat sich rührend gekümmert.

Wunderbare Location, die Nähe zum Marktplatz ist sehr schön. Sehr gepflegt, sehr sauber. Viel Platz für 12 Personen, es fehlt wirklich an nichts. Auch in der Küche alles vorhanden, was man braucht. Auf Anfrage ist der Pool gegen Gebühr beheizbar. Viele Sitzgelegenheiten, auch draußen. Alles sehr durchdacht. 2 Parkplätze sind vorhanden, ansonsten ist Parken eher schwierig. Die Straßen sehr eng.

Great week with family in beautiful Soller

We loved this house! The in town location made everything in Soller extremely accessible. The restaurants, shops, train, etc were only a few minutes walk away. The large pool was so refreshing after being out during the warm days. All of the rooms were large especially the bedrooms with plenty of clean good sized bathrooms. A notebook loaded with information about the house and the area was quite helpful and Tisha was always available to answer any questions. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and utensils. There was also had a big bowl of fruit, a couple of bottles of wine and some cheese waiting for us when we arrived. A very nice, welcoming touch!

Truly incredible stay!

Wow! I stayed at the villa with family and friends and we were truly blown away. The villa is absolutely gorgeous with everything you might need during your stay. We spent hours in the pool, enjoying the sunshine. It’s located moments away from the main square in Soller - minutes to restaurants, ice cream and all the shops. The tram is also closeby to take you to the port to enjoy the sea. Such a perfect setting for a memorable holiday! We loved every minute.

Can Ballester - a stunning Villa in Soller!

We stayed at Can Ballester in May 2022 to spend a week celebrating my wife's 60th birthday with our family. The Villa is beautifully furnished with the most tasteful decor, inside as well as throughout the various "garden rooms". The nine of us had more beautiful spaces to enjoy than we had time to experience them. The location is perfect, only a few minutes walk to the main square and all the shops/restaurants in the village. There is a tram in the village which provides a 20 minute open air ride to the beautiful port. We chartered a boat one day, hiked to the charming hillside village of Fornalutx for lunch and experienced the amazing festival Es Firo, all easily from the Villa. For the birthday celebration, a fabulous Private Chef (Piers Dawson) came and prepared a most memorable dinner on the Terrace. His wife Holly set a beautiful table and arranged all the wines to pair with the incredible food. We highly recommend Can Ballester and offer our thanks to host Tisha for all her help with suggestions and advice. She was only a text message away whenever we had a question!
