About this property
Luxurious refuge in national park with heated pool, beach 5 min - Manon 10min.
*** The villa is among the few in Menorca that are winter-friendly. I.e. double glasing windows. electric heating + AC + pelet oven, covered and heated pool ***
Villa SAUDADE is a real luxury refuge in the middle of a national park. Its is extremely well equipped: e.g. Air Conditioning, SONOS music system inside/outside, STARLINK wifi, heated pool (not included), high-end gas BBQ, electric heating + pelet oven + log fire. 2 smart TVs, high end kitchen appliances, full kitchen for serious cooking. All three bed rooms have been refurbished in early 2023.
The special charm and authenticity of the Villa Saudade (Bras .: 'Longing') is located in its simple elegance and location in the middle of the 1947ha UNESCO Natural Park, Parc Natural S'Albufera '.- only 5 km from the life of the capital Mahon. Here you can still go on holiday, without being part of a row settlement. The fact that the villa can not be viewed by any side is self-evident.
Inside, the villa enchants with typical Menorcan details. For example, In the roof-top five-color windows - an architectural tradition from Menorca - which makes the whole house brighter. At sunset these windows spread a wonderful, colored light. The end wall is clad with menorcinic natural stone.
There are 3 bed rooms + one folding bed in the living.
MASTER - queen size bed with en-suite bathroom
GUEST ROOM - queen size bed - full desk for working + smart TV for desk and bed
KIDS / GUEST - 2023 newly refurbished room with variable beds: a) twin beds 2x 90x200cm b) One mega bed 270 wide x 200 c) a or b with an additional bunk bed 90x200.
In the living room you will find a foldable sofa bett in the book shelves for emergencies.
The kitchen is modern and high-quality equipped and has all the equipment the ambitious hobby cook needs: a Liebherr stainless steel refrigerator with 1 ° C zone, a 90s Smeg gas cooker, a stainless steel dishwasher, Nespresso machine, sharp knifes Etc. on the pool terrace is a 5-burner high end gas grill next to the large dining table.
The two bathrooms are also of high quality and tastefully furnished with generous shower baths, double wash basin and hanging toilet.
In such a living space, of course, the music must not be missing: Therefore, the villa is equipped with a SONOS system with 10+ speakers. Also on the terrace you can paint your cozy evenings with your own sounds. Via an APP, you can always choose whether you want music everywhere, or only in individual areas of the house.
The garden, which is occupied by old palm trees, is separated from the nature by a hedge. The pool care taker comes twice a week and takes care of the pool and outdoor area. A wind-protected terrace to the garden as well as a veranda to the pool with a view over the reserve form the exterior of the house. As far as the horizon you can see only isolated lights of houses at night, and only the starry sky. The pool is surrounded by a 150qm large wooden terrace. This offers the possibility to lie in the sun by the pool until the early evening and gives the house a small maritime touch. Not only do you have the opportunity to sit under palm trees, but you can also enjoy a delicious barbecue. The outdoor shower with warm water is also a thankful detail, whether you are just sandy from the beach or the day by the pool spends. The carport rounds off the outdoor area.
The villa is therefore not only an absolute relaxing holiday, but is also an ideal holiday destination for families with children.
The beach - one of the best and safest child-beaches due to shallow water, can be reached by car in 5 minutes, from the house you can take small walks in the nature reserve.

About the host
Hosted by Jan
The villa in Minorca was build in 1974 by our aunt and uncle in the context of the golf course development 'Shangri-La'. The golf course was banned by the environmentally focused minorcan island government shortly afterwards. In 1992 the 'Parc Natural S'Albufera des Grau' was declared a UNESCO world natural reserve.
In 1993 our parents took over the property which was managed my us since 2003.
We are a family from Düsseldorf: Jan, Nicole, Nick (6), Laura (4), and Charlotte (0). In 2013 we took over the property from the grandparents and spend 2-3x per year time in Menorca. We love the villa, the park and the island of Minorca.

Why they chose this property
Es Grau in Minorca is an enclave in which time seems to stand still. A real fishing village where small fishing boats moor at the pier and where the the water is so crystal clear that we often swim there. Only a few yard away the 400m long sandy beach of the bay of Es Grau starts. Perfect with young children because of the shallow, calm waters. The UNESCO Biosphere Albufera borders the bay of Es Grau and offers beautiful trails to the freshwater lagoon or in the adjacent secluded coves.
What makes this property unique
100% privacy in a tasteful environment with high quality facilities representing a standard like at home. Hardly a house in Menorca will have brands like Miele and Liebherr in their kitchen. The style of the furnishing is sylish but authentic menorquin. You can tell that we set it up for us and not save on the facilities as most holiday homes do. We try to serve our guests perfectly with many tips for Minorca.
The vacation villa is completely quiet in the nature reserve, yet just minutes from the authentic fishing village and beach of Es Grau. Also, Minorca's capital Mahon is less than 10 Minunten away. Thus, the location of the house is almost perfect, if you do not want to live right on the beach (which hardly exists in Menorca!)
