This is the most magical place. When we booked I didn’t realise it was actually right in the famous Binibeca Vel structure, I thought it was just nearby, so it was such a treat and a privilege.
The apartment immaculate, charming and romantic. It’s elegant but well equipped for your stay with many helpful touches. The showers are great, the kitchen is set up with all you need, and there are little supermarkets a few steps from the apartment to get all your basics.
It’s a stone’s throw from a little harbour then a short walk from the most beautiful cove. Take a snorkel to see all the beautiful fish! Sitting on the balcony in the morning with an espresso, watching the sunrise on the white rooftops is amazing, as is the rosy sunset with a glass of wine in the evening!
We wanted a relaxed holiday rather than to explore, and aimed to rely on the odd taxi ride to go a bit further sometimes, but taxis were just impossible to get. Worth bearing in mind if you’re deciding whether to hire a car. There’s only one taxi service on the island (Menorca Radio) and they just hung up on us every time we called. Thankfully Eva could at least negotiate taxis for us to get back to the airport! We also took the ‘land train’ to a water park further down the coast.
The air conditioning only really keeps the main kitchen area cool. The bedrooms are very hot, but we were there in very hot weather and as these apartments are listed they are not permitted to install a proper air con system as it would spoil the overall appearance. You just trade that for the charm of the place really, which is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I think worth it! Most of the year round in cooler months this won’t be a problem at all.
You hear people coming past your windows quite frequently as the place is so popular and draws so many visitors. They aren’t raucous or loud at all, it’s just the conversations naturally drift through the shutters, earplugs worked for me with this.
We loved the BB cocktail bar, and the Sa Cuina hotel restaurant (which is directly opposite the apartment) is great not only for lunch, dinner or drinks but they have a little pool you can use, friendly staff and a lovely sea view. Eva has lots of information if you want to explore restaurants further away.
Eva is completely amazing. So many recommendations and great communication both before and during the week. She’s a lovely lady who genuinely wants her guests to have a wonderful time!
We would thoroughly recommend this lovely place for an unforgettable stay. People come from miles and miles around to explore the magical labyrinth of Bibibeca Vel and you will be staying in the middle if it, in such a clean and pretty apartment. Honestly you feel like you’re in a movie.
