The Palma-Port de Soller
bus
scoots through Deia five times daily in each direction (Nov-March reduced service on Sun). There's no tourist office, but the village's hotels and
hostales
will gladly provide local advice on walks and weather, and can fix you up with a
taxi
- or do it yourself at 971 630 571. Of the two places where there's a good chance of a reasonably priced
room
in high season, the
Fonda Villa Verde
, c/Ramon Llull 19 (tel 971 639 037; fax 971 639 485; €48-60) has lovely premises near the village church, while the
Hotel d'es Puig
(tel 971 639 409, fax 971 639 210; March to mid-Nov; €90-120) occupies a tastefully converted old stone house close by. Deia also possesses two of the finest hotels on Mallorca, both overlooking the main road:
Es Moli
(tel 971 639 000, fax 971 639 333; April-Oct; over €120) and
La Residencia
(tel 971 639 011, fax 971 639 370;
laresidencia@atlas-iap.es
; over €120), each of which occupies a gracious and beautifully maintained mansion.
As for
eating
in Deia, you're spoiled for choice. There's a concentration of cafes and restaurants along the main street towards the west end of the village. These include
Cafe La Fabrica
, which offers reasonably priced tapas,
bocadillos
and the traditional
pa amb oli
(bread rubbed with olive oil), and the
Bar-Restaurante Deia
, where you'll pay a little more for a light meal, but with the compensation of a terrace overlooking the valley. Moving up the price range, the
Restaurant Jaime
(tel 971 639 029), which is also at the west end of the village, offers mouthwatering Mallorcan cuisine. Other useful information
