About the home

Our 'home from home' apartment is built in a traditional Menorcan style, having 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 2 balconies. It has the bonus of being situated on the top floor and is detached on all four sides. It has a balcony to the front and terrace to the side. Both of which enjoy extensive and unrestricted views across the bay at Cala Tirant and inland across the unspoiled countryside towards Monte Toro, the island's highest point.

The community has attractive gardens, a communal swimming pool with children's section and is only a few hundred metres to the beach which has a resident life guard during the main season.

Playas de Fornells is an exclusive private development on the north of the island, a few kilometres from the unspoilt fishing village of Fornells. Playas is fully self-contained with a range of bars, restaurants and supermarkets.

Fornells is less than 5 minutes away by car and offers a superb choice of harbour front restaurants and bars. It is fast becoming the most exclusive location on the island but the harbour area remains completely unspoiled.

Numerous beaches, traditional towns, golf, waterparks, horse riding, boat hire, windsurfing, diving, are all within 25 minutes drive.

The Menorca region

Just 2 hours from the UK and accessible from most UK airports, Menorca is the second largest of the Balearic islands and measures only 30 miles x 12 miles. Menorca offers everything (climate, food, lifestyle) you would expect from the mainland, but with its own distinctive Menorcan character. Virtually unspoilt and with more beaches than the other Balearic islands, it is an ideal family destination. With the contrasting cities of Mahon (the capital) with its Georgian architecture and Ciutadella (the old capital), both with an array of restaurants and bars to explore.

Both Mahon and Ciutadella come alive at night. Mahon's waterfront is the place to 'people watch' with its luxury yachts and cruise liners (The King of Spain, Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas are among a number of celebrities known for mooring their yachts in Mahon harbour).

Ciutadella has a family atmosphere where Menorcan families like to stroll on the cobbled streets between the old Gothic style buildings in the evenings. With numerous restaurants hidden in the many backstreets and also along the harbour front. Ciutadella harbour is also where you can catch a ferry to Majorca for the day.

The Fornells / Playas de Fornells area

Fornells is located to the North of the island. It is a traditional white-washed fishing village, well known for its excellent fish restaurants. In July one of the many fiestas takes place in Fornells. The fiesta lasts for four days and involves many beautiful, well-trained horses dancing to traditional music. The fiesta ends with a firework display in Fornells harbour. Fornells has craft markets twice a week.

Playas de Fornells is an exclusive private development 5 minutes drive from Fornells. With a number of bars, restaurants and supermarkets it is well-contained, famous for its award winning gardens and right next to the beach at Cala Tirant. With golf, horseriding, sailing, windsurfing and diving all within 5 to15 minutes from the apartment, it is ideally located.

“A wonderful location” This apartment suited us perfectly; close to the pool and the beach, fabulous views from the terraces, lovely safe gardens and easy to walk to some great, friendly restaurants. We spent the first week exploring the island, and the second feeling reassured that this was the best area if you're looking for somewhere less built up for a relaxing family break. The sea is amazing, alive with fish so the kids were delighted. Hubby could fish from the rocks and be called in for lunch from the balcony! We shall be returning soon.

Guestbook for Bancalets

Just returned from our holiday in your lovely apartment, everything in the write up and the reviews was accurate and sometimes under stated. The location and the accommodation was brilliant, never felt so rested, weather on our side as well, in the 30's everyday. Mercadal had a great butcher, bakery and green grocers, so much better value than the supermarkets. Tried lots of local restaurants that were mentioned in the reviews or paperwork within the apartment and all very good, cannot find anything negative to say at all except the exchange rate, hope to return again one day. Your management company were a great source of local knowledge. Mr and Mrs Belcher Sept 2011

It looked wonderful in the photos but in reality was even more stunning - opening the shutters in the morning to
that incredible view across the bay to the green hills and down to the sea - glorious! It was very hot and sunny every day and we spent many lazy hours reading or eating on the balcony enjoying the sights. A wonderful relaxing holiday in every way! Thank you again, Mr and Mrs Hunter - July 2010

Just to say how much we enjoyed staying at your apartment last week. The location, views and facilities are superb and provided everything we needed!
Snorkelling off the rocks below the apartment was amazing and both the pool and beach were excellent.
We were privileged to arrive on Saturday night for the Fornells Fiesta and the horse rearing in the square followed by a firework display on the Monday night!
Poppy cars provided an excellent service. Mr & Mrs Acton - August 2009

The apartment was everything we wanted, being quiet with a fantastic view and just the right amount of space and features. I have to say, we never actually turned on the TV, DVD or video once in the whole 8 days!! Weather was good, and I’d love to return at other times of the year too. I loved the Island, which is so relaxed, nice roads, no traffic jams, great beaches, lovely food and more. Mr & Mrs Simons - July 2009

The apartment is certainly in the most spectacular position, with all the amenities needed for a good stay. I will certainly recommend the place to friends – the area has not really changed from our visit 8 yrs ago and remains ideal for a relaxing stay.
We particularly appreciated the sight of so many nice sunsets whilst making the tough choices such as G&T or Rosado. Happy memories!!!!! - Mr & Mrs Mitchell - Sussex - Sept 2008

Just a quick line to say that Bancalets did not disappoint. We found the apartment to be very well equipped, in a nice quiet location and the whole family had a wonderful time.
I could breakfast on that balcony every day of the year and never tire of the view! - Perry family - Wimborne, Dorset - August 2008

Just a note to say how much we enjoyed our stay in your apartment. It was just perfect - plenty of space so that we all had somewhere to escape for a quiet bit of reading or "me" time.
We loved the resort and we'll miss the fantastic view, and will hold our memories of evenings spent with a G&T watching the sun go down thro the next months of grey rain and wind in the west of Scotland! - Wallace family - Glasgow. - July 2008

The weather was superb and we had everything we needed in your apartment. The location is superb and we would love to go back the same time next year. Mrs Betts - Worcs, July 2008


Just wanted to say thank you, the apartment was absolutely fantastic. Mr G Gilchrist, Glasgow, Sept 2007

We found the apartment not only very comfortable and well equipped, but very cosy, charming and homely. With all the little things that makes it different from just another holiday apartment like books on the shelf, video tapes, beach accessories, information sheets etc, etc. And at the same time it is probably the best situated apartment in the development. We are very satisfied and must say that you and your family have got a real nice place! Thanks for letting us stay. Mr and Mrs Larsen, Denmark, July 2007


"To be able to listen to the sea whilst still lying in bed is wonderful! The boys loved the pool and the closeness to the beach was just great. Thanks once again." Mr & Mrs Johnson, Somerset. June 2007

"We just want to say thank you for the use of your lovely apartment for our holiday. It is by far the best location on the development with amazing sunsets. " Mr & Mrs Rowlands, Dorset. May 2007
