The Villa
This privately owned villa is situated on a secluded plot, with its own
pool and garden, within the residential seaside village of Binisafua (sometimes
spelt Binisafuller), Menorca. A traditional fisherman's dwelling (not
the building pictured above), it has been extensively refurbished and
remodelled to a high-specification, and boasts three air-conditioned bedrooms, each with its own bath/shower room. The high quality furnishings are of a contemporary, but classical, style, and the well-equipped kitchen has a full-height fridge/freezer, electric oven and hob, plus microwave.
Only 8km from Mahon Airport, and 5km from the town
of Mahon, it is easily accessible by car or taxi.
The tourist resort of Binibeca, with its warren of pure white apartments,
various restaurants and supermarket, is a 10-15 minute walk away (or 5
minutes by car), and although the villa has its own private swimming pool
(10m x 5m approx.), it is only 75 metres from the sea - where you can
swim off the rocks pictured above, or take a short 10 minute stroll along
the coast to a sandy cove, offering safe and generally uncrowded bathing.
The Villa sleeps 6-8, and the accommodation comprises:
|
Lounge, furnished to a high standard,
with sofa-bed, TV, DVD player with home cinema “surround-sound” system plus Sky satellite (feel free to bring your own Sky Card). A picture window overlooks the pool and open-plan to dining area and kitchen. |
|
Three bedrooms - two doubles (both en-suite) and
one twin-bedded – all with air-conditioning. There is an additional
bathroom adjacent to the twin-bedded room. |
|
Dining area and fully equipped kitchen, with full range of domestic appliances, including dishwasher and washing machine, and also has a new log-burning fire. |
|
A beautiful pool, approx 5m x 10m. It is not heated,
but will most certainly be warmed enough by the sun during the day, and the pool, as well as the garden, can be illuminated at night. |
|
Beside the pool, we have built a new patio, which
is part covered. This is dual purpose, with sun-beds available for
those who wish to bake themselves, and a waterproof gazebo and outdoor
lounge for shade. The large dining table seats eight comfortably for
outdoor dining in the balmy evenings |
|
There is also a secluded courtyard, housing a well,
and planted with roses, jasmine and honeysuckle. |
Surrounding the house are beautiful gardens, planted with many indeginous
species such as palms and bourganvilla.
The villa is serviced with a change of linen once a week. The other visitors
to the property will include our gardener and pool maintenance man. Both
are English ex-pats, and will be happy to help you with local information.
If you decide to rent The Villa for your vacation, a more in-depth,
“Welcome Pack” will be provided with the keys.
