Villa Alakala

“Two amazing weeks” 5 ***** Keith L.
My wife and I spent 2 amazing weeks in Villa Alakala with another couple. The villa is beautiful. It is very modern in style, furnishings, and finishes – yet very comfortable. Even though we were only 4 people, it could easily accommodate double that. Both the upstairs master bedroom and the 2nd master near the pool are really set up to feature spectacular views. The location was perfect for us – right near the incredible Cala in front of the villa, close enough to walk to the local store, and a 2.5 kilometer walk into the port of Ciutadella. We walked that nearly every day for exercise and the view! We felt distant enough to feel tranquil and set away, but close enough for a quick drive into town for dinner at one of many really cool restaurants there. Housekeeping was provided 5 hours, 6 days a week – which we thought would be too much – but in fact was great to have! The kitchen is fairly well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, glasses, etc. We were not able to have a chef during our stay due to local employment difficulties, so we cooked only a few nights. There is also a newish, very functional barbeque. The outdoor living is fantastic. With the Cala close by attracting visitors, the only “strange” thing was that people kept stopping and staring at the Villa – as it is that striking! We didn’t mind but were surprised how people just stared with us sitting right there in the back. Some adventurous boys asked if they could use the pool, but we declined J. BTW- the pool is fantastic! Overall, we loved our stay and will definitely visit, not only Menorca, but this Villa again.

Magical Villa!!5***** Dominique L.
When we first arrived in Menorca, we weren’t quite sure what to expect of our rental…traveling from the US and renting so far away from home was a bit scary. When we arrived exhausted and bedraggled, I literally wept when I walked in and saw the view from the front door. It will exceed all your expectations, as this villa truly is incredible. You are transported to a place of utter luxury, and on an island where time moves at a slower pace. Everything at this villa was perfect from the layout, to the amenities, to the accommodating owner Sebastian who helped guide us with great suggestions of what to do and where to go. There are breathtaking views from every gorgeous room, and the location is AMAZING – right on a cala where we swam every day. We have now stayed here twice with family and friends, and plan to come back again and again as we still have not yet explored all of this unique and special UNESCO island! P.S. Don’t forget to arrange for fresh-baked and still-warm chocolate croissants delivered each morning from the neighborhood market to feed the hungry kids before heading out for a day of swimming, boating, shopping, or just lounging.solutely amazing place to spend the holidays with friends and family.
“The best holidays ever” 5***** Rosa P.
A magnificent villa right in front the sea, with private acces to the turquoise sea.
Funtional design and first class finishes. An authentic luxury in the Mediterranean. And a careful owner, that help us to enjoy the island.

3 Generations holiday in Menorca. 5***** Patricia S.
Absolutely beautiful, modern, spacious home with every possible amenity and breath-taking views of the Mediterranean Sea. The immediate neighborhood has everything needed within walking distance....grocery stores, restaurants and beaches, as well as miles of paths for walking and amazing cliffs for (very daring or casual) jumping/ diving /swimming in protected coves! A must add to your "bucket list"!

Very stylishly designed villa , luxuriously appointed with front row sea view 5 mins drive from old port in Cuitadella
Seb the owner does everything to ensure a great stay including a couple of days out on his boat. Nadia the housekeeper keeps the place spotless
We were 5 inc 3 teenage girls, Great days out to the virgin beaches like Macarella and Turqueta by boat, on Lilos in the pool and easy chilled out dinners in old town
Very enjoyable break in a most comfortable villa

Take me back! 5***** Arianne L.
This Menorcan Villa truly is BREATHTAKING. The home is set between two beautiful Callas that can be accessed within a few steps from the house. Cliff jumping, cave exploring, swimming, sunning…all right at your doorstep. Then, there are the amazing views. How spectacular go to sleep each night with the light of the moon over the water and awaken to a view of endless ocean. There is also a lovely swimming sandy beach a few minutes walk with a restaurant and bar right on the sand, if you can bring yourself to leave the gorgeous pool. The neighborhood market (the owners knew our names by day 2) provided fresh, still warm croissants every morning and delicious Spanish Albarino, cheese, baguettes, prosciutto, etc. for our afternoon wine and cheese. Our kids loved having the independence to walk over and charge their daily snacks! The island itself is stunning. From the spectacular beaches and farms that surround you to the colorful architecture throughout the charming cobblestone streets in town, there is never a loss for something to do. The owner's knowledge of the island was indispensable. He stocked the refrigerator upon our arrival with requested items. Ask him anything, he will guide you in the right direction. Endless restaurant choices (paella!), shopping (espadrilles!), sightseeing (how about a Menorcan gin cocktail while watching the sunset from the Cliff Bar?) - all contributed to what was one of the most memorable vacations I have ever taken. I can't wait to return!
