Outside
The garden is the gem of this property, fully landscaped it features a dark blue, 9x4m swimming pool for the exclusive use of the villa, it has a plethora of shrubs, plants and herbs. Huge rocks create the feel of this garden and it is fully enclosed by a Menorcean style dry-stone wall. There is also a child's wooden swing set amongst the tree's. The terrace provides ample relaxing space with stylish Gloster sunbeds, parasols, a comfy seating area plus a dining table and chairs with a parasol. There is a gas BBQ for alfresco cooking and a shower for rinsing off after a dip. The rotary washing line is located to the side of the villa allowing you to dry your laundry without having to look at it!
Coast/Beach
The location of the villa is just 5 minutes walk from a rock beach and fabulous coastal walks. The nearest sandy beach is located in nearby Punta Prima just 10 minutes walk away. If you've hired a car you can explore the island and find the many fantastic beaches (try Son Bou, or Binibequer) that Menorca has to offer, local maps and guide books are supplied at the villa.
Travel
The Airport is Mahon (Mao) which is 25 minutes away. Mahon Harbour (Ferry Terminal) is 20 minutes drive away. Once at the villa car hire is not essential but we would recommend it to allow you to find best beaches, supermarkets etc.
Distances
Nearest resort is Punta Prima 1/2km away (10 minutes walk).
Nearest village is Sant Luis 4km away (5-10 minutes drive).
Mahon harbour/town centre 8km away (15-20 minutes drive).
Cuitadella (North-East of Island) 45km away (1 hour drive).
Further details
Menorca has a wealth of wonderful things to discover, from beaches and landmarks, to food (did you know Mayonaise was first created in Menorca) and fine dining. We have started a book in the villa with all the restaurants we have discovered so far and what type of food they serve, and hopefully you will be able to add a few more.
Interesting places to go and visit (and most feature a great restaurant!) include Fornells in the North, Es Castell (the most Easterly point in Spain), Son Bou (7km Beach), Mao Old town with its market and wonderful shops and boutiques, Mahon harbour is a must with lots of great restaurants to sit and watch all the gin palaces and power boats come and go from!

Owner profile
About the owner
We have several arms to our business portfolio, we have a sports car business, we build and restore houses, a battery distribution business plus two small daughters to care for! All of our family enjoying going out to the villa as do many of our friends, what I feel is a real credit to the villa itself is that this year we had three returning clients from the previous year.
We searched hard for a great management company to look after our villa as their own when we cannot be there, and Charles and Fiona do a fabulous job, making it a real pleasure to arrive whatever the time of year.
Year purchased: 2005
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We purchased our villa off plan after just one trip to Menorca, we simply fell in love with the island, it is so unlike the other Balaerics, its gentle, laid-back feel was exactly the kind of place we wanted as a retreat for us and our two small children. The villa was finished in 2006 and we spent that entire first summer there decorating and furnishing it, we are really pleased with the calm, relaxing ambiance we have created. Our real pride and joy is the garden which has grown from new to the glory it has become today and it is the one bit I relish seeing each time we visit. We have recently started a visitor book, and the comments are proof that everyone who stays loves it as much as we do.
Unique benefits of the property
The style of the villa is very unlike many villas on the Island, its clean, white lines give the whole villa a very calm feel, the villa is surrounded mainly by local Menorcan people which means there is not the usual 'holiday' market surrounding noise and carry on that seems to blight some villas. The villa is minutes from the rocky beach of Son Ganxo, plus a ten minute walk into Punta Prima for a casual bite to eat, or the supermarket.
The villa has its own pool, it has electric gates onto the drive, it has air conditioning, plus the villa benefits from a Paddle Ball court for the exclusive use of the six villas on the complex.
