We enjoyed a fabulous week at Son Jazmin in mid-October when the weather was exceptionally kind to us!
Every last detail has been thought through in this beautiful villa and the position and views are just perfect. We walked into Deia every evening for dinner (and many lunchtimes too!) where you are spoilt for choice of excellent restaurants. Amongst our favourites were Es Raco d’es Teix – taste sensation in the most beautiful courtyard (worthy of their Michelin star), Hanok Korean for authentic and intense flavours, cosy atmosphere with a very personal service, Sebastians for its elegance and friendliness and Café Miro for wonderful flame lit alfresco dining. The Deia festival was on when we were there so there was a great buzz about the place and live music on the weekend evenings which added to the magic of Deia at night.
Due to visiting Deia before and exploring many other villages, we wanted to relax more this time and Son Jazmin was the perfect place to do just that. Lots of wonderful comfortable areas to sit and take in the views and a fab heated pool to laze around hoping the donkey will pay you a visit! Every room oozes style and quality and it feels extremely homely.
The Cala is only a 20 minute walk from the villa and is a lovely place for a swim and a seafood lunch. The walk down the road is certainly easier than the walk back up would be, but we used the footpath on the way back which was a lot gentler and took us to the other side of Deia which allowed us different views walking back to the villa. The village shop in the centre of the village stocks everything you could need and some very delicious wines. The aroma from their on-site bakery makes it difficult to ignore and their pastries are just divine!
Deia is a very charming and sedate village which allows a perfect relaxing holiday. It is only a short distance away from many other lovely villages & towns should you need to venture away at any stage. In our opinion it comes alive at night when it’s all lit up and all the wonderful restaurants are luring you in! Son Jazmin is the prefect villa for a stay here.
Would we return again – yes!
