Sol Isla

Pleasant peaceful self-catering apartments offering just the basic bar and snack facilities. Set in appealing grounds with a natural rural feel. A few local amenities are handy for those self-catering.

A short walk down steps to the beach but a fair bit harder coming back up. Local transport to the more interesting resorts and towns such as Fornells or Mahon is just along the same street or a hire car may prove useful.

Suit families and couples just looking for a simple base, in relaxing surrounds.
