Ask a questionAbout Alison Patterson
After many years living in other countries teaching English we are now settled in Es Mercadal. It's a long way from home for Richard, who's from Canada, but he loves it as much as I do. We're semi-retired now but keep our hand in with some online teaching and materials writing. We absolutely love living here, the walks, the cafes and restaurants and the fabulous environment.
Alison Patterson purchased this Apartment in 1999
Why Alison Patterson chose Platges de Fornells
I came to Menorca on an impulse in May 1999, I arrived on a Sunday and fell in love with the Island on the Monday during an excursion to Fornells, it was chilly and misty and reminded me of the Peak District!! On Thursday I bought the flat! It was a reckless purchase, but it was one of the best things I ever did. For years during difficult times in London it was my dream and my escape. Then when I became an English teacher, I was drawn to other parts of Spain and spent a wonderful 5 years living in Barcelona. Fast forward 12 years and now we are living in Es Mercadal. Menorca has always felt like home. It casts a simple but strong spell on many people who visit it. Something I hope you will feel too.
What makes this Apartment unique
For me the flat immediately had a real positive energy about it. With the hills directly behind and the sea in front. I read many years later that the Chinese believe that this is perfect Feng Shui for a property. Naturally, all the flats in Playas de Fornells are similar in layout, but the previous owner of this flat. The electrician for the community when it was built, put in the breakfast bar and the charming arches. This apartment is cool, yet cosy and comfortable. A perfect place for a holiday stay
