We loved every minute at this beautiful house in unforgettable Fornalutx! The location is great and it was easy to walk to restaurants and shops. The house itself is charming, spotless, and suited our family perfectly. The pool is in wonderful condition and the setting against the mountains is breathtaking. Alex was an ideal host - very communicative and helpful. The only thing I would change would be to install an AC in the downstairs bunk room as it could get quite hot - but then again, we are Americans and very reliant on our AC! We hope to return one day soon for another magical experience in Fornalutx. Thank you, Alex & family!
Many thanks for the kind words! You were perfect guests and you are always welcome back! Thank you for leaving the house in such good condition! Alexis

Excellent holiday property and location
We had a great holiday in Can Fave. It's a charming property with a pool that gets lots of sun. The village of Fornalutx is beautiful and full of character. We came mainly for the walking and were not disappointed - fantastic range of mountain, valley and coastal walks nearby.

We had a one-week stay in this lovely, well-equipped villa with a good-sized pool and garden. We never tired of the stunning views of the surrounding mountains. Only a 5-minute walk into the beautiful village of Fornalutx, which had a great choice of restaurants and a couple of bars in the main square. Thank you Alexis for being such a great host and for all the helpful info you gave us before and during our trip.

Charming house in Fornalutx
We, a three generation family ranging from one to 74, loved our stay at Can Fave. The house is charming and well equipped, and the garden with its mountain views is a wonderful place to relax. We enjoyed the short walk to the bakery every morning and the many beautiful hikes in the area. Alexis was an attentive host. Would love to return some time.

Wonderful town house with unique atmosphere in Fornalutx
We can give our absolute best reviews of our stay in this unique town house. We had high expectations which was exceeded by far. Very nice pool on first floor, and big terrace with out-door kitchen on main floor. As the whole town, the house is very charming, and very well maintained and a very good-taste in design inside. We felt at ease and relaxed from the start, and enjoyed our stay.

Homely and well equipped house in beautiful surrounding. Great pool but probably not suitable for very young children as it soon becomes deep which is great for adults and older children who are proficient swimmers.

The house was perfect for our group, beautifully spread out so we had our own space.
The view from the house is amazing and the house is really well equipped with everything you need.
Alexis the owner was so helpful and resolved an issue we had so promptly, he was very generous and attentive.
I would definitely return to this lovely house which felt like home from home.
Right near places to eat and a small but well stocked supermarket.
So many walks to explore, you can walk to Soller too.
Highly recommend staying here.

We have stayed in Fornalutx several times. This was 3rd time with large family group. Ca'n Fave had ample space and outside areas. By far the best propoerty. BBQ area was great. All bedrooms comfortable. But Pool area was simply the best. Property very secluded and private. Location to village square an easy 5min walk. Then trips to Soller and the Port were also amazing.

Fantastic property in the most enchanting and beautiful village
Really lovely property ideal for holidaying with friends or family. The village of Fornalutx is simply stunning and if you love your food you will be spoilt for choice by the many excellent restaurants within a 5-10 minute walk from the house. Cafe Med and Moxie were probably the stand out establishments for us but we enjoyed every restaurant we ate at (we pretty much tried them all!). Alexis was an excellent host before, during and after our stay, very informative and very responsive when required. We really hope we will get an opportunity to return sometime in the near future.

One of the best finds ever!
We were lucky to find such a great place in a fantastic location. You do need to know how to drive though, if you have rented a car and plan to explore on your own. Probably not a big deal if you are use to European driving, but much more challenging (and fun) than American roads!

Our stay in Can Fave was one of our most beautiful holidays! The location ist perfect if you prefer a quiet and relaxed atmosphere and the house overall is a dream! The rooms all have a sweet and individual touch and the house is also really big and you have a lot of space. The contact with the house owner Alexis was also really easy and friendly. He tried to make our stay as good as possible so we never had the feeling that anything was missing. Alltogether we can recommend Can Fave for a nice holiday and would come back any time!

A cozy, charming and well equipped accommodation in a charming village
We had a very pleasant stay in the house. It is located with fascinating views of the surrounding mountains and hiking paths starting just around the corner. At the same time the location in the vey picturesque village of Fornatlutx provides good opportunities for grocery shopping and hanging out on the cafés at the main square. The house itself was excellently suited for three couples wanting to have a relaxed vacation. However, one has to bear in mind that the house is located just next to a main entrance road to the village. This makes is most suitable for persons wanting to get up early anyhow :-)

Beautiful house set in stunning mountain village
Can Fave is the prefect setting for a family holiday. Well stocked house and tastefully decorated, comfortable and homely. The pool was a godsend and the garden a perfect place to relax with a beer at the end of the day. Fornalutx has everything. A well stocked supermarket,bakery, fantastic restaurants and gorgeous streets to wander. All in all a wonderful holiday spent in such a pretty house.
It does get hot in the garden room so would be nice if aircon could eventually be fitted here :-) and plan a day out on the day the gardener visits as he’s there the entire morning from 7.30am! Other than that, we couldn’t fault it.

Amazing house in stunning location
We had the most beautiful week in the Can Fave property, Fornalutx! I can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who is looking to rent a house on Mallorca. The house is beautifully done up, very comfortable and totally genuine. You can feel that it is owned by a family that truly cherises it and loves being there themselves. Waking up in the heart of the Spanish mountains was something else. The view, the sounds, the light...
The location in the village is perfect, near the village centre that has shops, cafés and restaurants. The house comes with a good sized pool that our kids practically lived in.
A big thank you to the Nicou family who made us feel very welcome and who were very easy to talk to. In short - one of the best holidays we have had. We'll be back!

Our stay was truly idyllic. From start to finish, Alexis was in contact and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. The property holds its traditional beauty whilst having all the luxuries you need. The home is beautifully decorated and the outdoor kitchen overlooking the mountains is stunning. There is ample free parking around and a local car park with a very small fee.
The town has everything you need and we loved our meal at Molon, where Neil served outstanding food and made our night really special. There are a couple of local bakeries, a super market and other restaurants so plenty of options. I would suggest booking early if you’re going in peak season.
The apartment was in a perfect location to explore other local areas including Deia, Soller and Valldemossa all accessible within 30 minutes maximum (only 10 mins to Soller). We hired a car however everywhere is accessible by an hourly bus.
Absolutely recommend this place and will definitely be looking to return!
