My family and I have enjoyed a wonderful holiday at Helens beautiful spacious villa. We felt like we were staying in paradise. In our opinion it was even nicer than we expected from the pictures. Our group comprised of my husband and I, my son and girlfriend who are in their twenties , and my youngest son who is 16 years old. Helen allowed us too leave our bags at the property as we arrived on an early flight, while the preparation was completed. She then showed us around and gave some suggestions for places to eat and visit etc. There are lots of books to read so no real need to bring your own .

We found the villa to be spacious and spotlessly clean. We stayed for two weeks and really appreciated the mid stay clean , and linen change which was thoroughly completed.

We spent lots of time lazing by the pool and appreciated the fact that there were more than enough sun beds for us all. Lots of sun or shade depending on what you want.

We were only minutes from the beach yet the villa felt peaceful and private. the beach was lovely and we enjoyed the beach bar. There were many places nearby to eat. We often went to a small bakery in Cala Torret for breakfast as its tables were outdoor and offered healthy options and even sold spelt bread, and unusual options along with the usual baguettes etc. There were may restaurants some with better food than others, but all were friendly. We particularly liked the ones at CallaTorret, and one called Pedros in particular. Half way towards Binibeca Val in the other direction was the Bini Inn which had pleasant food but was also amazing for watching the sunset.

The tortoises in the garden were a delight and we loved hand feeding them lettuce. We didn't handle them but two seemed eager to come to us.There were three around when we stayed though one was much shyer than the others. Sometimes you would look for them and there would be no sign of them at all and then an hour later they would be back.

We hired a car through a company called Amber cars, and were met at the airport by a representative of the company. She could not have been more helpful. We hired a smallish car and were going to do two journeys to the villa but the lovely young lady from the car company helped us secure a couple of cases to the roof bars.

We visited Mahon, St Louis, Es Castell harbour in the evening which is beautifully lit up and Ciutadella, and enjoyed shopping there.

A fabulous stay and memorable holiday. Thank you Helen!!
