We loved our stay at the villa. It's an amazing space and we really didn't want to leave. The private pool, the roof terrace, the veranda, the BBQ, the fully-equipped kitchen, the big sofa, the comfy beds! The villa has everything! There's even a stand up paddle board and two-seater kayak if you fancy venturing out onto the sea.
Biniancolla is a serene and beautiful place where we felt completely relaxed and refreshed. We visited in mid-October and really appreciated the peace and quiet. The cala is literally on the other side of the road from the villa and is very pretty. We also enjoyed walks to the nearby beaches of Punta Prima and Cala Torret. The picturesque village of Cala Torret is especially beautiful and perfect for strolling around on a sunny day.
There isn't an abundance of cafes or restaurants in Biniancolla but we found plenty in both Punta Prima and Cala Torret. One restaurant that is near to the villa (about 10 minutes' walk) is En Caragol. It has great views across the sea, an excellent menu and fantastic staff. They shut for the season during our stay but we managed to go twice before they did.
There's a couple of small supermarkets in Punta Prima and Cala Torret and for a big grocery shop there's the Eroski supermarket in Sant Lluís which is about 10 minutes' drive. We didn't have a car so discovering that the Mercadona supermarket in Maó will deliver to the villa was brilliant. Registering ourselves on the Mercadona website was a little tricky but once we did we were able to get a delivery the next day. (Eroski also deliver but you have to have a Spanish telephone number to be able to register with them, whereas you don’t need one to register with Mercadona.)
Caroline was a wonderful and generous host who supplied us with a wealth of information about the villa and the local area. She was easy to contact, quick to answer any questions we had, and made sure everything was perfect during our stay in her incredible villa.
