We have just returned from the absolute best week in Menorca - it flew by! The villa was just perfect for us. We had been to Binibeca before so knew we wanted to be back in the same area. The villa was immaculately clean, perfectly located a short walk from the Binibeca Vell restaurants and shops, the beach, the land train stop (to Punta Prima) and the bus stop (to Mahon). A few things that i thought would be useful for other travellers to know...
The layout...you enter the villa into a large open plan living room and kitchen. To one side of the living room there is a section where there are 3 rooms (1 with ensuite) and 1 bathroom. The other 2 rooms are directly off the living room/kitchen area. 1 with ensuite. And the other has a bathroom directly opposite it. There is a utility room with washer and dryer if needed. A very well equipped kitchen.
Towels... the host kindly provides towels for bath/shower as well as seperate blue towels for the pool.
Pool.....its not heated but we stayed in early May and it was around 23 degrees every day and the pool was warming up in the sunshine as the week went on. We all swan in it a lot and in true british style....it was fine 'once you got your shoulders under'. Our 2 year old didn't like it, it was too cold for him - but i think thats just him! There is no fence around the pool so you do need to keep an eye on the children if they are young and clumsy but after day 1, both our young children figured out they needed to walk calmly around the pool unless they wanted an adult shadowing them the entire time.
Car.....we arranged transfers through Clarice which were perfect as there were 7 of us and because the Land Rover is available to use when at the villa, it was awesome. We only needed it once to do a big food shop on arrival (Eroski....only 10 min drive away in Saint Lluis).
Mosquitos....they do come to say hello at night, so bring (or buy) citronella candles and bring some of those mosquito repellent patches. They worked for us.
Trips.....we took the Land Train to Punta Prima and enjoyed a lovely lazy lunch at Aire Restaurant. Highly recommend! https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g659968-d14793693-Reviews-Restaurante_Aire-Punta_Prima_Menorca_Balearic_Islands.html
Also took the Land Train to Splash Water Park. A lovely water park that isn't too big or overwhelming for younger kids.
Took the bus to Mahon....such a beautiful city. Definately worth a day there....we would have gone back for more exploring and walking along the port if we were staying longer.
We also had a lovely lunch and cocktails at Bambu restaurant which is literally 5 min walk from the villa....gorgeous views from the terrace. https://bambumenorca.com/
So - in short...Binibeca and surrounding areas are amazing. The villa is just perfect and Clarice & Edwin were the perfect hosts. We will be returning as soon as we can.
