We have been coming to Menorca for 15 years, and having been in many places in this area, we agree this was probably the best experience we’ve had overall (the fact that we went just after the emergency state was over, and there was still very little tourists around, had a lot to do with this too! Seeing the island so quiet in early July is one in a lifetime experience).
The place is in a brilliant location. We love Binisafua because it retains the local feeling, some of our favourite restaurants are in this area, with 2 of them within walking distance of the villa.
The beach is always calm and cozy, very safe for children and remains clear of sunbeds, hiring things, bars etc. For us the fact that is full of local people says it all.
Behind the villa there are some platforms, quite a few along the coast, to swim in the sea. The snorkelling there is outstanding, but you must get up early as they’re always occupied.
Having a private pool was a hit, and kept the girls happy whenever we were home (not much!). I would advice to go easy on the chlorine, the first couple of days our floating unicorn, swimming costumes and children hair, were green.. the pool staff said it was the sun cream, but I’m still not convinced.
The place has everything you need, plenty of cutlery, glasses, plates, kitchen utensils and a blender. Which is great when the dishwasher is full and you still have spoons or glasses. Maybe I would put more mugs and cereal bowls as these, we had to wash every morning being only one set.
Don’t expect luxuries, some things need a bit of TLC, the wardrobes, the fans, etc.
Think of what you’re paying and it’s great value for money. We use to stay at some villas complex nearby, behind the club Náutico. I remember thinking every year, this place needs a makeover! Well, they did, and now it’s double the price so we can’t stay there any more..
There are plenty of useful things like beach toys, an air pump, electric plugs for the mosquitos ( need to get refills), a cool box that came really handy and even nice touches like fairy liquid, kitchen roll, toilet roll, a bottle of still water on arrival and coffee capsules and plenty of things we’ve had to buy in the past as they’re becoming less and less frequent.
There was even hand gel and antiseptic as well as plenty of cleaning products.
Alex and Tha were available 24/7 answering our questions, sending directions and making sure we were happy.
We will definitely stay here again and can not wait until next year! Wish you the best this summer Alex and Tha! Thank you for sharing your beautiful house with us.
