We stayed for 10 days in this house, which is in a superbly landscaped holiday development, walking distance from two lovely beaches and some great restaurants and bars with wonderful views and just a few minutes drive from amazing sailing and windsurfing and a lovely village with regular festivals and great food. We loved the views from the house, which is really spacious and comfortably furnished plus everything you could possibly need is provided including boogie boards, clothes rack and pegs, hairdryer and lots of British plugs. My husband sailed for a week with Minorca Sailing at Ses Salines and my daughters and I did sailing and windsurfing at Wind Fornells, just down the road from Ses Salines. Both are incredibly friendly and professional with brilliant instructors and good kit. The beach near the house has beautiful water and the best boogie boarding we've done for ages on the days when the surf was up. It's shallow and there's also a surf lifeguard so it's really safe. Kayaks, paddle boards and pedallos are available for rent. The local wild wind whipped up a couple of times whilst we were there and there was a fair bit of banging and whistling but not so hard to sleep if you turn the fan on and bring in the plastic chairs! The wind created excellent sailing and windsurfing conditions and spectacular waves and also kept us nice and cool.

The pool in the development is a bit of a walk from the house but it's a nice stroll through the wonderfully higgledy piggledy paths. It's small and quiet with lovely views. There is also access to a magnificently large and deep pool just up the road which was brilliant. And there's a water park you can pay to have a day's access to as well. Plus great gelato down by the beach.

We did have one issue with the house, but a visit to the English managers, just a minute's walk away, saw it being fixed the same day. Great service.

All in all, a place we will definitely be returning to! :)
