Grosses, neues und ruhiges Sommerhaus mit Meerblick in Gehdistanz zum Strand

We have just returned from a fabulous week in villa Sal Palmeria. The property is of a good size with plenty of outdoor seating and sun beds. The pool is fantastic and was cleaned during our stay, it is not shallow though so kids had to keep arm bands on, which was fine.

The property is 5-10 minute walk down some steep steps to the nearest shop, which stocked everything we needed for a weeks stay. Near to the shop there are other restaurants which overlook the sea, we ate there and the food and service was brilliant - I would recommend you book these though the day before as I can imagine in peak season they get busy. There is also a café which in the mornings is a bakery, but the shop does fresh croissants/pastries on site aswell.

The beach was also 5 - 10 minutes down another set of steps. It is a lovely small bay with brolleys and sun lounges to hire for 18 euros for the day. Or there is room just to go on the sand, it does get very busy though. There is a beach café which does sit down meals or take aways until 4pm. After that until sunset it is drinks only. We borrowed some snorkels and flippers which were at the villa, there are lots of fish to keep you entertained!

At the entrance to the beach is a pizza van - this was fab! We got take - aways from here on our first and last night very tatsy.

Walking towards the old town of Binibeca there is another small shop and a couple of restaurants. We ate at the Smugglers Inn which was good and very friendly and air-conditioned, which was lovely! If you then continue to walk you reach the told town of Binibeca (probably about a 30 min walk from the villa). This is worth a visit, there is another shop and more restaurants and cafes. Here you can hire a car also. There is a restaurant with a pool which was good for the kids.

I messaged the owners Rosalia & Alex several times and always had a quick reply.

I would recommend this villa and hope to return!

We were very happy in Sa Palmera which became 'home' for one week. Great swimming pool, convenient kitchen and amenities, lovely gardens, clean out and in. We had no real complaints, just a few niggles: the master bedroom en suite had no shower screen, the bed head there as well as in another room were loose, some doors were squeaky when going to the bathroom at night, and we could not find the folding chairs to take to the beach.

The instructions and tips were generally clear and helpful but it would have been useful to have a tip where to dispose of the rubbish.

We would thoroughly recommend this villa however, as it is very conveniently situated and is very easy to live in.

I have never stayed in such a clean villa - it really was spotless.

Great views from the roof terrace.

I thought I'd hate the artificial grass but it was fine - yes it does get hot but we just put towels down for the children to play on.

There are shortcut steps down to the beach and pizza van (a must) which are great.......when you don't have pushchairs/wheelchairs (which we did), so we had to go up the hill to go back down the hill, all the while knowing that the shortcut steps were there but not accessible to us. It would be great if Binibeca council could put an access ramp in.

Everything about the holiday was easy and we would go again.

A lovely stay with son and family of 3 young boys. The villa was extremely well equipped, and having beach towels provided was a real bonus.

A Good location to the beach. Lovely seating areas, although with the 2 yr old we had to cordon off the outside steps to the roof terrace.

Comfortable beds and spacious living areas. Would certainly return to this Villa. Rosalie was very helpful.

We had a fantastic holiday in Minorca, the villa was perfect for the eight of us. We couldn't find fault with any of it, it was clean, smart & very well maintained. It could have easily slept ten people within the bedrooms. There is a lot of external space to eat, sun beds, pool & terraces with beautiful views of the sea & surrounding area's. Our 3 year old daughter came too, we just had to be careful around the pool area. As with a lot of the villa's the railings to the verandas & terraces were not child friendly, a child could easily climb through, we were not too concerned as we made sure there was always someone outside with our daughter or we locked the external doors to keep her inside with us. There is also a travel cot which could double as a playpen for a baby/ toddler to ensure a child is safe. It is within walking distance to a gorgeous sandy beach, a road train stops at the bottom of the road for access to a lot more restaurants, shops, a water park, other beaches & plenty more. We had an amazing time & are very tempted to go back!! Thank you to Alex & Rosalia for a wonderful stay!
