The Menorca region

Menorca is a peaceful island with an abundance of lovely beaches, pretty harbours and a genuine friendliness from it’s people. There are a plethora of sports available and a wide choice of restaurants to choose from

Known as the "Blue and White" for it’s sparkling white houses and deep blue sea, Menorca is located about 160 miles south of Barcelona and 30 miles north of Mallorca. The island measures approximately 35 miles long and 10 miles wide with sun bleached villages and pretty countryside.

It is one of the most enduring attractive of the smaller Mediterranean islands, with a particular charm and tranquility of it’s own. There are around 120 coves and sandy beaches, mostly with safe crystal clear waters ideal for small children. The roads are rarely busy and the landscape is one of rolling farmland, magnificent cliffs and exquisite sands. The South East of the island is partly flat with fields surrounded by dry stone walls while in the north are pine covered hills with wild flowers and scrubs.

There is a seemingly never ending array of restaurants lining the whole length of the marina offering all types of cuisine including the more traditional Menorcan dishes.

Fornells is a picturesque fishing village located within a very short drive of Son Parc to the North of the island. It is ideal for wind surfing and sailing with numerous sailing schools located in the area. There are a variety of seafood restaurants and cafes gathered around the harbour offering local dishes including Caldareta de Langosta a delicious local seafood casserole made with lobster.

There is a website giving a lot of general information about the island at www.ultimateguide-menorca.com, or telephone +34 971 362357 or fax +34 971 351587 to obtain a copy of their printed information sheet.

Villa Olivia is situated in Son Parc on the north coast of the island, in an area of approximately three hundred hectares of landscapes and pine forests. It offers the perfect spot for a family holiday or for those demanding a golf course on the doorstep.

The magnificent beach of Arenal de Son Saura lies just below the resort within 5 minutes drive of the villa, with sands stretching hundreds of metres into the bay and gently shelving making it ideal for children and wonderful for snorkelling enthusiasts with it’s crystal clear waters. There is an abundance of watersports available including windsurfing, water skiing, jet skis and pedaloes.

There is an abundance of good restaurants on the island to suit all budgets offering a wide variety of cuisines from the traditional Menorquin to Italian, Indian, French and Thai. For information contact www.menorcadining.com.

Flights & Car Rental
There are approaching 15 airlines which fly to Mahon airport, Menorca including Monarch Airlines, Britannia Airlines, Air 2000, European Airlines & BA. A copy of the Menorcan Flight Directory may be obtained by telephoning Celtic Holidays 01634 868600 who are also able to book flights and car hire.

We recommend hiring a car to give freedom to explore the island. However it is possible to travel around the island on public transport. A previous guest who decided not to hire a vehicle wrote. “The coach style services are clean and efficient and quite well priced if a little infrequent". They seem to stick well to their timetable, but can run a bit early or a bit late and are not very flexible about where they drop or pick up. You can get all over the island, though often via Mahon and you need to plan your return times as some services are limited.

For information on public transport, please see www.autosfornells.com and www.e-torres.net.

Guestbook for Villa Olivia

"Fantastic Holiday - we have re booked for next year."

"The children loved it and were never out of the pool. Great family holiday destination"

"My husband and I have just returned from two glorious weeks in Villa Olivia - the standard of accommodation is excellent - very clean and so well equipped (although I never attempted to use any cooking appliances !!!). The location is so quiet and peaceful, evenings sitting out on the patio until very late were absolute bliss - this is our second visit and hope to return again next year."

"We had a wonderful break, with no hassles. The property was lovely. Thank you for a great service, we will be in touch again."

"A great holiday! Villa Olivia is set in the perfect location, quiet and peaceful, yet within easy reach of restaurants, supermarkets and outstanding beaches. The villa is comfortable and well furnished and the lovely pool and seating areas are not overlooked. Hope to return very soon!"

"Villa Olivia is a beautiful spacious villa furnished and equipped to a very high standard - every modern convenience you could wish for and in a convenient location for visiting all parts of the island yet in a peaceful secluded setting - lovely pool and sun terraces and close to a safe sandy beach - something for all the family - will definitely be visiting again - can't wait!!"

"The setting amongst pine trees overlooking a small valley, and not overlooked by other villas, is idyllic. The villa itself is well planned, fully equipped and very comfortable. The pool is a very attractive feature and the various patios are ideal suntraps for relaxing. As golf enthusiasts the Son Parc development fits the bill perfectly and the surrounding area is perhaps one of the most attractive parts of Menorca. We would have no hesitation in returning."

"We had a fantastic holiday at Villa Olivia and would highly recommend it to everyone. The Villa was very well equipped, nice and quiet and the beach at Son Parc is in our opinion the best beach - it was super for our kids with plenty of space, very close to the Villa and easy to park. Menorca and in particular Son Parc is a great destination for families with younger children - the flight time is only two hours from London and it is easy to get around the island. We hope to be back."

Our first visit to Menorca and Villa Olivia but definitely not our last! The villa provided the perfect haven for our 'three generation family'. Its location was ideal with easy access to the child (and adult) friendly beach at Son Saura, the nearby shops and restaurants in Son Parc and only a short drive for quality dining in Fornells. Villa Olivia was clean and well maintained with plenty of flexible space in a tranquil setting - we especially liked the seclusion of the pool and terrace areas which were great for relaxing during the day and in the evenings.

Just to say that we all had the most wonderful time in your lovely villa. It is so comfortable, peaceful and private. It is well equipped and we had some excellent BBQ's sitting out in the evenings. Everything was perfect, and we hope to book with you again next year.

We have enjoyed a fantastic holiday in Menorca. Villa Olivia provided the perfect base for us as a family of five - ideal for traveling out to see and experience everything whilst making the days and evenings so enjoyable with the lovely private pool and terrace area. The villa itself was clean, very well equipped and the setting was perfect and easy to locate

We had a great holiday and enjoyed our stay at the villa. The surroundings ensured we could have a restful holiday but with a beach and plenty of shops and places to eat not being too far away. The pool and terrace offered a great deal of privacy. A lovely villa.

We all had a great holiday. The villa was clean, comfortable and we loved the fact the the pool and terrace areas were not overlooked. Nobody wanted to go home!
