Testimonials

“We arrived at Binicalsitx having never been to Menorca and we certainly landed on our feet. The house is very quiet with great views and very well placed on the island. We were eleven, with a wide range of ages and the accommodation worked perfectly. Extremely comfortable, stylish and a wealth of outside spaces to enjoy. We particularly liked the sitting and eating area above the lovely pool. Great tennis court, rackets provided and table tennis. We were given the name of a chef who was absolutely excellent and made our holiday. We spent more time at the villa than we would normally, because it was so relaxing to be there. We loved it.”

“Binicalsitx is a sumptuous retreat away from the hustle and bustle of everyday, in the quiet and calm of the Menorcan countryside.  A stone’s throw away from a local town, beaches and the capital city Mahon only a 20 minute drive away.  It is the perfect villa for anyone wanting great restaurants, rural bliss and some beach time.”

“We really adored our stay at Binicalsitx – totally remote but somehow only 30 mins from the airport so friends and relations came and went effortlessly.

The house itself is full of charm and is architecturally striking. The pool is handsome and quite grand. The outbuildings are in a marvellously picturesque state of disrepair (unlike the house which is bang up-to-date). The walk to the tennis court is like something out of Gerald Durrell with tortoises, dragon flies and strange beetles of all descriptions. Daniel the chef made truly delicious food.

If we needed the slightest thing the house manager was available, apparently at any time.”

“We had a wonderful stay in your lovely villa thank you. It has been done so beautifully and we found it all incredibly comfortable. Loved
the salt water pool, the fantastic tennis court and the different eating/drinks spots. The bedrooms are very comfortable and when escaping from the sunshine, the sanctuary of the house feels like a home from home. We
could not have enjoyed it more.”

“The house worked brilliantly for holidaying with four families; there is so much space for happy, concurrent activity: by the pool, on the tennis court, reading under the trees or playing chess on the terrace; everyone was content. The layout has been perfectly thought through and the design is delightful. The house was immaculately presented both inside and out.
We enjoyed the very peaceful location and yet we also appreciated that we were well situated for visiting the whole island. We found several fantastic local restaurants and we enjoyed bbq evenings on the pool terrace followed by a night time swim. A few of us also explored the well signposted footpaths for early morning runs to the beach. We returned home universal in our intention to re-book.”

“We spent a wonderful week at Binicalsitx. It is a very pretty, very comfortable house with beautiful furnishings and a lovely courtyard for dining al fresco. There are lots of different areas to sit in and eat in which makes it very attractive and means one can find time for oneself if desired. The pool was refreshing and the perfect size. The area is rural and access to Alaior for shopping is incredibly easy and it is no distance to go out to restaurants and beaches. We loved the house so much we hardly moved while we were there but the island has a lot to offer. We will be returning next year as we enjoyed it so much.”

“We could not have wished for a better place to hide away from the constant onslaught of Brexit and Covid news back home. Binicalsitx is a haven, tucked away just outside Alaior, in the centre of Menorca, set in 56 hectares of unspoilt Menorcan natural countryside. Really well positioned for a quick trip to Mahon (the charming capital) and either the south or north coast beaches, of which there are plenty to chose from. The house is a beautifully converted, large farmhouse, full of character and decorated as a home not a rental villa. Bedrooms have ceiling fans, much nicer than air con. The outside has about four different spots for sitting around, eating or drinking, from a lovely quiet garden setting to a funky lounge area to watch the sunset. There is a fabulous pool, about 15m long, good for cooling off and large enough to exercise in, with plenty of sunbeds for everyone. A great astro tennis court and table tennis kept us busy too.”

“Thank you for such a great stay at Binicalsitx and for so generously allowing us to stay on for an extra four days. Despite the over-crowded beaches in the summer season, Menorca has retained so much charm and your lovely villa is such a haven of peace – we couldn’t have enjoyed ourselves more. Thanks too for the gin which went down very well and the tote bags and drinking bottles, a lovely touch. Again, many thanks for your flexibility and generosity, it was a wonderful and much needed holiday. We felt very privileged.”

“We loved our stay at Binicalsitx and really enjoyed Menorca. The house is fabulous and so much great attention to detail. The children loved their attic room, it was such a feature and perfect for our four. Everything worked so well such as hot water, TVs, wifi etc etc so it was a relaxing time. The wild tortoises were also a major hit and Belen the tennis coach was great too. We fully explored the island as the weather was a little bit up and down but actually that was a delightful surprise. I can see why you bought there as the people are lovely and it feels relaxing (unlike its close neighbours!). Ann was excellent and we loved meeting Sandi the cook who dropped in some delicious food for us. We would definitely like to return one time.”

“We have just returned from Menorca and wanted to thank you so much for allowing us to rent your beautiful house. We were enchanted with it, the well appointed kitchen and the sheer comfort of everything throughout including the delicious local gin that you provided for us. The pool and garden were gorgeous and with all the twinkling lights in the garden, it was a magical setting. One of the most memorable holidays we can remember.”

“What a magical place - we had such fun and just loved our stay at your wonderful house. Binicalsitx is in the most lovely spot and is so rural, well set out, you have thought of everything to make it so comfortable for all ages – even a cupboard full of Tupperware for beach trips! Eating out at night watching the swifts and swallows diving in to the pool was as good as it gets. The whole island is so easy and relaxed with such charming people – all so helpful.”
