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!

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 beautiful peaceful location. Half an hour lovely walk over the rocks into Fornells or the bus takes 10 mins. No need to go anywhere though as the house and pool is a great place to chill out and lovely restaurants and bar within walking distance. Fab holiday!

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.

Only downside was having to leave.

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.

Wonderful

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. We look forward to going back again.

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.

We had a lovely week in the villa - the pool, grounds and view are especially great. Everything you need is provided and Penny was a great help and source of knowledge! The area has shops, bars and restaurants within walking distance and although Fornells is quite popular, it certainly felt that the villa was quiet and away from the crowds. We will certainly be back to Casa Lavanda so we can explore more of the Island....

Spacious villa, Fidel for a family vacation.

We have just had a wonderful holiday with our grown up family in this well appointed villa in our favourite part of Menorca. The villa is very spacious and comfortable with good wifi. Within the villa there is ample dining space with a dining table and kitchen table, plus a fabulous circular table outside in the shaded BBQ area with ample seating for 8. The pool is a great size and we were very pleased to see that the pool guy came twice during our 10 night stay for to clean it. From a practical point of view there is ample wardrobe and drawer space in all the bedrooms and an abundance of hangers which i really appreciated. The showers are good and despite all of us getting ready in a short window of time, there was never any shortage off hot water. The landscaped gardens are beautiful and the veranda, with its sofa and chairs at the front of the property provided some lovely shade and an incredible view throughout the day. We did have one request of the owner as when we arrived there were no sunshades with the sun loungers. I have to say this was addressed very promptly and Gill from MC property management provided us with two fab shades with stands on behalf of Penny the owner. I feel that the owners genuinely care and want guests to really enjoy their stay, a lovely touch was a bottle of fizz waiting for us on our arrival. The villa is also conveniently located just 5 mins away from a small supermarket and 3 very good restaurants. I have to say we would without doubt return to this villa in the future.

Perfect villa for a family holiday

The villa had four good sized bedrooms and two large bathrooms with very comfortable sofas and two tables perfect for indoor dining if the need arises. There was a large table outside with plenty of chairs and there was plenty of loungers. The pool was big and very clean as was the jacuzzi and it was lovely to have the choice of the two. The villa was very well equipped with plenty of crockery and glasses. It was very peaceful at the villa and we had a lovely holiday and will definetely be back as we love Platges de Fornells which has a lovely beach and good selection of restaurants on the doorstep,

Lovely villa and location

We had a great stay here - two couples, grandma, and twenty-something grandson. I would say that the photos do not do the house or the grounds justice. The pool is a lovely place to relax round, and there are also numerous other places to gather - which we really liked. Often with holiday villas, if you have to eat indoors, things feel a bit sad - but here - the dining area and sitting room were very comfortable. The balcony to the front is a great spot for sun-downers, and the outside eating area comfortable, and private. The local beach - Tirant - is walking distance, and fun. This is also a good spot for walking - along the Cammi de Cavallis. We didn't rate the local bars, in the immediate vicinity, but the short hop into Fornells itself (a very nice walk along the rocks for all but Grandma) yields lots of restaurant and bars. Es Cranc particularly recommended. The owner is great to deal with, and her representative on-site attentative.

Lovely villa

My husband and I have just returned from our holiday in playas de Fornells. We had a fantastic stay in Penny's villa with its lovely pool, comfortable sun loungers, beautiful 4 poster master bedroom and several patio areas to choose from. We spent most of our evenings watching the sun go down from the front patio. We love playas de Fornells and have been holidaying here for years. We would recommend Penny's villa to our friends and family as we were very well looked after and Penny has been extremely accommodating.

About the host

Hosted by Penelope Bentley

We live in London and at the weekends go to our home in Suffolk.. I am in the film business and my husband is a lawyer. We have been going to Menorca for the past 25 years and we bought this house in 1995. We have furnished the house for ourselves rather than the rental market and we feel that is is a very comfortable home with beautiful gardens.

If you need further photographs please advise

Why they chose this property

We are both very well travelled and when we first went to the island we fell in love immediately with the beauty of Menorca and the fact that it was so unspoilt. Even after 20 years we feel that this is a very special place and are very happy that building of any high rise properties is forbidden and that the whole island retains its individuality over main land Spain and it continues to be a very special place. Even in high season, one can escape into remote areas and many of the beaches are very safe and not too crowded... Restaurant offer good value for money for families and the sports facilities are excellent.

What makes this property unique

The property is well furnished and very comfortable and is 5 minutes walk for the local supermarket and some very good eating places. The Gardens are very well tended throughout the year and there is a great terrace for evening dining where one can be totally secluded... The pool is a good size and there is also a jacuzzi at the back that seats at least 4 people... there are a number of terraces around the house and for those who want shade throughout the day this is not a problem.We have recently installed an additional shower area together with a dressing area and small study in a small separate annexe to the main house at the back of the property.
