Thanks Antonia for organising our visit - excellent email communications, accurate directions and all the information we could have required.

This was a perfect little home for our 19 day stay in Menorca. The apartment is very homely, with 2 good bedrooms, newly fitted bathroom, living area, dining room and small but full kitchen (including washing machine & oven). It is situated in the middle of safe residential streets, making it feel more like a home than a holiday apartment, and shares lovely shaded gardens and a pool with just 12 other apartments. Being ground floor with 3 outdoor terraces meant we used the outside space well - one terrace for eating, one for storing inflatables and beach stuff, and another for hanging out washing to dry.

The gardens are shaded by pine trees which provide welcome relief from the sun at times. The pool is not not large, but was rarely in use during our August trip, meaning we often had it to ourselves. It is plenty big enough for swimming and diving (unlike the small pools that some private villas offer in the same area). We all loved it and used it a lot.

The position of the apartment is ideal: a 3 minute walk to the beach, or 10 minutes walk to the main strip in Cala Blanca. Lots of supermarkets within a few minutes, plus bars, restaurants, car hire etc..

We hired a car, but there were very regular buses into Ciutadella picking up from the end of the road. Cala'n Bosch is 5 minutes drive away, Ciutadella is approx 10 minutes drive away as is the main Me-1 road leading to all other parts of the island (eg. Cala Galdana 25 mins, Mao 45 mins, Fornells 35 mins). Bigger supermarkets are available in Ciutadella (we used Lidl mostly) and are a lot cheaper than the local ones, though not as handy obviously.

We will definitely come back to stay again - we already miss our home away from home and we've only just left!
