Perfect
A wonderful villa in a super location with stunning views.
Penelope is the perfect host, from my initial enquiry to returning home Penelope was on hand to check we had arrived safely, offering advise on restaurants, local markets and booking tables at some super restaurants.
The villa was very comfortable and well equipped, we particularly enjoyed the numerous outside spaces to sit and enjoy a morning coffee through to an evening cocktail.
The pool area is first class with sunbeds and parasols and the added bonus of the outside jacuzzi. We found the outside shower room practically useful with the large shower.
The location is ideal with numerous restaurants and a mini supermarket within walking distance. Cala Tirant beach is a great option which didn't feel busy, we enjoyed lunch at the Xiringuito beach bar as well as Okapi restaurant.
A wonderful holiday enjoyed by all!

Great place to enjoy and to explore the island
This is a great place to enjoy the place itself and as a base camp to explore the island. Sunsets are beautiful from the deck. Penelope and Ellie were always checking out necessities. Even when the microwave didn’t work next day we had a new one. I would recommend it.

A lovely villa for a short end of summer stay
The villa was well maintained and had everything we (my wife and I and our 9-year old daughter) would require for a fairly last-minute 5-day stay at the end of the season to lap up the last few rays before winter. The beach is c. 10-minutes walk (or 2 minutes drive) away, you will need a car to get to most restaurants however. The property had a fabulous BBQ which we made best of too.
An special note for Penny and Ellie who manage the property; they were fantastic, very attentive and offered some great suggestions around restaurants, places to visit etc.

Fabulous stay in a beautiful villa
We’ve just returned from a fabulous 2 weeks at this villa with 3 children 9, 8 and 5. The villa is as shown and if anything doesn’t give full justice to the size of the pool which was perfect for 3 children to play around in and for us to do lengths; or to the view which in the evening is beautiful with the sea and the sun setting over the ridge line.
We found the location ideal although we did have a hire car as we wanted to see the island, do water sports in Fornells and do proper food shops at the main, cheaper supermarkets in Mahon. Don’t be put off by it being off the road and near other villas, it was so quiet and peaceful and a perfect retreat from visiting the busier resorts. If you don’t get a hire car you’re within easy walking distance (a couple of minutes) of a small but well stocked supermarket, several restaurants (don’t miss out on Okapi which was superior to every other restaurant we tried around the island in both service and food!), a splash park and beach (about 10 mins).
The villa is spacious and you’re spoilt for choice of seating areas We valued having shaded options when the heat picked up and the parasols to cover some of the pool. Bedrooms are very comfortable with decent fans.
There were many small touches that made this villa ideal. Parasols were provided for the beach and a fully equipped utility room and external shower. To note - many steps on property and no very shallow section of pool though neither issue for us.
Wonderful villa!

A wonderful place to stay
The villa is luxurious and feels more like a home than a holiday rental. Right from the start the booking process was dealt with quickly and efficiently. Any queries were answered by Penny immediately. We were a family of adults and had several other friends staying nearby. Ours was undoubtedly the best villa. There are several areas outside to sit in as well as very comfortable sofas inside. The kitchen is very well equipped We had incredibly hot weather and would not have survived without the pool although air conditioning would have been welcome. There is a lot to do and good places to eat in the area but I wound definitely recommend having a car. There are a lot of good beaches to drive to although the island was very busy when we were there and you definitely need to get to the beach very early or late to get a good parking space at this time of year. To get to one beach now (Macarella) you now need to get a bus from Ciutadella. We enjoyed snorkelling off the rocks below the villa and Tirant beach is within walking distance. Okapi bar, the Cactus and La Franola all great for eating out within walking distance. Thank you Penny for a lovely stay.

Beautiful, spacious villa in a great location
We were four adults and one toddler staying at the villa in June 23. With four average sized bedrooms and the spacious living area there was plenty of room for us to spread out. The kitchen was well equipped and the living area was very comfortable and stayed reasonably cool during the day. There are fans for every room - but no air-conditioning. The grounds are amazingly large. The star item is the large pool which was cleaned regularly. We loved the terrace outside the living room which had comfy chairs and a table with great views. The BBQ area was also a lovely outdoor place to sit and relax. The whirlpool at the back was a real hit with our family. Penny had a new shower room/wc put in at the back with access from the outside which we found useful.
There are a lot of steps within the grounds and a few even within the house although there is no up-stairs. It was a bit tricky for our toddler. It meant we had to watch her all the time.
The location is brilliant with a few restaurants and a supermarket just minutes walk away. We loved the Isabella restaurant in a stunning sea-front location.
A bonus were beach towels which can save you a lot of room in your suitcase.
There are two sandy beaches close by. The smaller one is about 10 minutes walk away and has a beach restaurant and the bigger one involves quite a number of steps over the cliffs but it is worth it. Altogether we loved our stay at the villa and resort and would recommend it to anyone. Thank you Penny.

Wonderful week in Fornells
We visited the Villa as a family of 6 adults for a week to celebrate a 60th birthday. From booking the Villa to checking out the communication from Penelope was faultless. Very friendly and helpful with recommendations, we tried most of the restaurants and all were brilliant. The Villa itself was lovely and just what we wanted. We enjoyed all the different areas, including the BBQ. A few outdoor lights for the evening would have been handy for cooking and playing cards. The little pool around the back needed maintenance so wasn’t working for us. The beds were comfy and the whole place was spacious. The area around was very quiet however the road was a little busier through the day. We did walk to Fornells from the resort across the seafront and rocks, took around 45 mins and not for the faint hearted/flip flops. We found a car was essential for our trip as we liked to explore the island as there wasn’t much to see/do in Plategs de Fornells itself.. Highly recommend Okapi for a local, and Isabella was a lovely location but not a huge menu. Good if you like sushi and a view. Caves of Xoiri were great for a view and quick drink. Cuitadella and Mohan good day trips. Water park (splash) was good if you’re looking for Abit of fun. Places were very quiet as end of season and a few places closed that same week so worth checking ahead. Overall a fantastic week in the sunshine and very relaxing place.

Lovely villa overlooking the sea
Casa Lavanda is a charming villa on a hillside overlooking the community of Platges de Fornells and the sea below. There are many excellent beaches nearby and a number of excellent restaurants in Platges and the nearby town of Fornells. The many outdoor spaces made the villa ideal for groups of 4 to 6 people. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

We spent an enchanted week here. The villa is a dream with everything you need, and as the week went on and our shoulders untensed, we needed less and less.
I thoroughly recommend this villa. From first booking to checkout was a breeze. The accommodation is great. It's well appointed, and it's very, very comfortable.
The only drama we encountered was the spectacular view.

This Villa was absolutely perfect for our family of grandparents, parents and young teens. Plenty of space, different areas inside and out to relax. The pool was the best part, the kids loved it and especially enjoyed swimming at night with the beautiful pool lights. The view is fabulous we loved watching the sunset behind the hills. The location is great close enough to walk to the beach, supermarkets, restaurants and bars. Penny the owner was great, as were any other staff we made contact with. Highly recommended.

Great holiday
We had a great family holiday here for 6 adults and one child. The villa and gardens are spacious and fully equipped with everything you could need, great pool and outdoor Jacuzzi, a BBQ and outdoor and indoor dining areas. There is a fully equipped kitchen, plenty of wardrobe space and hangers plus TV and Wi-Fi if you need it. There is no aircon but rooms are equipped with large fans. The location is excellent, quiet and private, with a supermarket and 3 restaurants just a few minutes walk up the road and more options nearby. Fornells itself, with its marina, is only 5 minutes or so by car with lots more eating options and supermarket and there are activities such as snorkeling and kayaking etc available for the more active. The main towns, Mahon and Cuidadela are about half an hour's drive at opposite ends of the island. The owner, Penny, could not have been more helpful and in the event of any problems (we didn't have any) Gill from the property management company is only a couple of minutes away. Highly recommended.
