The gardens are watered twice a day automatically. The pool is cleaned twice a week.

Mahon harbour is the second largest natural port after Pearl Harbour and was a favourite staging point for Nelson’s fleet.

Menorca is a registered biosphere and as such developers are limited as to what they can build. Near the villa there is a natural park that attracts a diverse range of birds and wildlife. Menorca has more sandy beaches than any of the Balearic islands and is ideal for families.

The night life is also good and Mahon is buzzing during the evenings. The island was occupied by British for around 100 years and occasionally by the French. The architecture of these two great powers is noticeable on the island. For example the town of San Lluis was built by the French whereas Mahon has a colonial feel.

The harbour of Mahon is supposedly the second biggest natural harbour in the world. This did not escape Nelson’s eye and he based the Mediterranean fleet there for many years. There is so much to do in Menorca both on water and on land. It’s a paradise to be enjoyed.

The Mahon / Cala Llonga – Menorca area

Cala Llonga, otherwise known as ‘the place where millionaires live’, is an exclusive urbanisation on the far side of the port opposite Mahon. There is a supermarket which stocks almost everything you could want. You can walk there but driving is better if you are loading up on the week’s shop. About a kilometre away is the fort of La Mola.

This was originally built by the British to protect the island from attack. For a short time it was occupied by the French until the British took it back again. You have to take time out to visit it as there is so much history to be enjoyed. A recent episode of Hornblower was shot there.

Cala Llonga has its own harbour filled with expensive sea-going yachts.
