This was our first experience of both AirBnB and Menorca and we could not have had a better time. I’ll start by saying we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend David’s Villa or David as a host, and are already working on when we might be able to return ourselves.
The Villa is in a really quiet location at the top of the town, which suited us perfectly as both the beach and town centre were 5-10 minutes walk away, meaning we could dip in and out when we wanted. There’s a little ‘supermarket’ 5 minutes away which had enough for us to stock up on when we arrived.
The Villa is really well laid out; the 3 bedrooms are good sizes all with AC and the open plan living /kitchen area is bright, well-furnished and offers plenty of space (we’re a family of 5). The pool is gorgeous with plenty of sun loungers, and David has a stock of toys and floats which the kids (10, 8 and 4) made good use of; they spent hours and hours every day in there!
There are two patio areas both shaded - we ate outside for breakfast, lunch and dinner - and this area is fenced off so can be closed if you have very young children.
David is a warm and welcoming host, while also being very discreet. He was ready and willing to offer suggestions of things to do, places to see or eat whenever we asked and he was very kind (and patient) with our 3 boisterous children, but was very respectful of our privacy. We really felt like we had the place to ourselves.
It’s worth noting that the area is hilly with lots of steps up and down, but nothing is very far away. We had a car which was great for exploring the island but we could quite happily have stayed in Cala Galdana, between our beautiful pool and the equally beautiful, if much busier, beach.
