The house itself is traditional in style, a delicate plaster pink with terracotta floors and arches providing a typically Hispanic feel. A trio of huge sliding glass doors opening onto the patio bring light flooding into the wonderful conservatory, furnished with rattan seating and a large wooden dining suite so you can admire the view over the garden whatever the temperature outside.

Predominantly single-storey, the property has some eye-catching features, including a quirky waved ceiling and a stunning covered front entrance flanked by elegant terracotta pots. The sunny fitted kitchen with a central island unit and breakfast bar is perfect for anyone wishing to try their hand at some traditional Menorcan cooking (although the delicatessen in the nearby town of San Lluis offers a take-away paella for those who prefer to leave it to the experts).

The lounge is a comfy spot for relaxing evenings spent watching a movie after a busy day at the beach and comes complete with leather sofas, surround sound cinema system, satellite TV and DVD player.

Three of the four attractive bedrooms are located on the ground floor, including one with a king size bed and en suite bathroom with a Jacuzzi bath, separate shower and twin washbasins. A twin bedded room and a single room share a separate bathroom. Upstairs, the master suite offers a bright, king size bedded room with huge arched windows leading out onto a private terrace overlooking the gardens. A nightcap here under the glittering stars is an experience not to be missed.

For such a tranquil place, it seems remarkable that it’s just a short drive or a 15 minute walk to the pretty town of San Lluis with its historic, whitewashed buildings, numerous restaurants, bars and shops and a bustling weekly market. From here it’s less than ten minutes’ drive to the beach resorts of Binibeca, Alcaufar, Punta Prima and S’Algar where soft white sand beaches and clear turquoise waters await.
