What a beautiful surprise. Menorca...I'm not sure what I was expecting. But we got a fabulous airport in Mahon, a luscious green island, car hire superb... roads and navigation were dead easy. Not a single pothole anywhere. Not a single unfinished building anywhere. We arrived at the villa and were immediately greeted by a beautifully presented property, clean, fresh...with everything we needed for our stay. We even found we had 12 tortoises roaming freely within the grounds which was really fun and provided a lot of cute distractions.
The property is situated just off the main road and yes, there is the stereo-typical 'English' quarter just around the corner, which we don't like. But we didn't care because we wanted to explore beaches and found that some of the best beaches in the Mediterranean were in fact within 30mins drive from the villa. Outstanding scenery, clean safe beaches, turquoise waters. It was perfect. Some of our group even went horse riding and found the horses to be well kept and fit and healthy, which isn't always what you get. So all in all, 10 easy stars and an easy recommendation. Thank you to the owners who couldn't have been better.
