The property of Mencia Jimenez is located in Son Blanc, a recent and cosy residential suburb of Ciutadella, Menorca island. We have stayed there as a small family: two adults and a teenager, and it was big enough for us.

This is an apartment, not an independant house, even though the title refers to it as a house ("casa" en Spanish). Its location is nice for people without a car like us: it was possible to walk to the next beach and to some bars (we recommend Sa Nacra), and the bus stop in front of the Blanc Palace is frequented by bus lines 64 and 65. These lines enable to go to Ciutadella's town center and to other beaches like Cala Bosch or Son Xoriger. There is a small supermarket with fresh bread every day and a pharmacy not far from the Blanc Palace.

The residential complex is made of small nice houses of two flats each with a big and clean swimming pool and palm trees at the center, forming a kind of small village. There's also mini-tennis (paddle), that we did not try out.

The apartment was clean and the terrace enabled us to eat outside, which is nice with the high summer temperatures in Menorca. It has been equiped recently with a big fridge (very useful), cooking plates and micro oven, oven, air conditioning in three rooms, and a tiny dishwasher and a tiny washing machine. Unfortunately, quite a lot of things have been forgotten as well: dish towels and cloths, enough plates and glasses, more cooking equipment. We only had one set of sheets per bed and one set of towels for two weeks. The lack of bed side lamps prevented us from reading (there's a big television, but we do not watch TV). We only had one set of keys, so we were always frightened to lock us out. We reported the problems and have been told by Mencia that she would take note.

The Wi-Fi connection was very expensive (15 € per connected equipment per week, that's 45 € for two laptops and an iPad), with hardly good enough quality.
