Host profile image
We purchased our apartment in 2015 and instantly fell in love with its spectacular views, peaceful surroundings, and unique location. Since then, it has become a special place where we can relax, unwind, and enjoy the beauty of Menorca’s north coast.

We’re delighted to share this little piece of paradise with our guests. Over the years, friends and family who have stayed here have always returned home feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and already planning their next visit.

We are also fortunate to be surrounded by wonderful local restaurants and tavernas, where you can enjoy delicious fresh seafood, traditional Menorcan cuisine, and sunset drinks overlooking the sea.

Playa Fornells is wonderful area if your wanting to relax or if you are wanting to set a base for long walks across the cami de Cavalls coastline paths. Fornells itself is close by if you are wanting to sample sailing or diving followed later by some amazing fish restaurants serving locally caught fish & crustaceans.
