Bancalets (apartment)

Home description

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.

Guestbook for Bancalets

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

Just a quick note to thank you for the use of your apartment – everything worked just fine – and the weather was perfect – a very good time for not being in the UK from what we hear!!! 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

We arrived back yesterday (Friday) after enjoying a really good week at your lovely apartment in Fornells, Menorca. The weather was superb and we had everything we needed. 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'd like to tell you that 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
