Interaction with guests:Â Before you set off to enjoy your holiday we will send an electronic copy of the Villa Book, a map to the address and a complete list of all the contact telephone numbers you may need during your stay. We also provide a check list of things to take that most of us find useful.
The villa managers are on hand 24/7 and they will be able to help with questions about the property. We are available 24/7 in the UK.
We were lucky enough to enjoy a two week stay at Villa Rosa.
Everything was excellent especially the location away from the busy tourist trap.
As a family of four, the villa had everything we needed especially the pool which was very much welcomed during our stay (we did leave lots of inflatables for someone else to enjoy).
A small supermarket within walking distance stocked everything we needed and the few restaurants, also within a short walk, were wonderful.
We did have a car and ventured out most days to explore but was always pleasing to come back to Villa Rosa.
Communication was excellent throughout, thank you Christine for opening up your home to us.

We are so glad you found your holiday, the villa, and location all lived up to your expectations. It’s important to be able to experience a family holiday with little or, no disappointments.
Regarding the inflatables, they are still in use and have been enabling the guests who followed you, to play in the pool from day 1!
Maybe one day you’ll all look at your 2023 pictures and rekindle those happy memories.
Thank you for recording your experiences for others to read. There’s nothing more reassuring than a first hand report!
Until maybe next time, enjoy the last of the U.K. sun.

DELIGHTFUL VILLA IN A FANTASTIC LOCATION
We stayed at Villa Rosa in August with our two teenage sons. Superbly located with easy to access the restaurants of Cala Torret via the steps from the pool area and wooded walkway. The pool is lovely and not overlooked, the outside bar with fridge is really useful and the lilo selection a lovely touch. The villa had everything we could need and we used the BBQ on several evenings. Christine, our host, was super friendly and helpful from start to finish. Highly recommend this villa and we will definitely be back.

Relax and unwind….
A perfect villa in a wonderful location. Peaceful and relaxing but only a short walk to excellent amenities and the sandy beach of Binibeca. Plenty to explore in the beautiful Binibeca Vell, less than a mile away and some really good restaurants. Would particularly recommend Bambu - but book in advance!
Not our first time in the Villa and we will definitely be returning. Thank you Christine!

Excellent Location
Villa Rosa was perfect for our first visit to Menorca - plenty big enough for our family of 4 adults. Quite quirky, with it being build into the hillside. We spent most of the day by the pool, which was a good size and the ideal temperature.
The location was superb - in a quiet street, yet less than a minute's walk to the nearest bar/restaurant (Sa Cova) where we stopped most evenings for a cocktail en-route for dinner in Cala Torret. A few minutes further on there is a local supermarket, bakery/cafe, and plenty of restaurants to choose from. Our favourite was Cala Mar.
Communication with the villa owner was brilliant, from first enquiry to the end of our stay. We will definitely come back to Menorca, and would recommend Villa Rosa without hesitation.

Super villa with excellent location
The villa was really well-equipped with everything we needed for a perfect villa holiday. The pool was a lovely size, great for cooling off, playing games and sunbathing around. Each room was a good size and had comfy beds, the air-conditioning was essential to help us keep cool overnight. We cooked in and had BBQs a couple of nights and the kitchen had everything we needed plus more.
The best thing about the villa though is the location. Everything was within walking distance: a supermarket with everything you could need, a superb little bakery with excellent fresh bread and some lovely restaurants too. We did book one night but the rest we just turned up to and they squeezed us in. We often walked down to the little cove for a swim or you could walk to Binibeca beach if you wanted a sandy beach. There was a great little boat hire in Cala Torret (we hired a day boat to explore the coastline one day which was lovely) and a dive school near the beach. We didn't hire a car for the first week and certainly didn't need one. However, we did get one for the second week (use the recommended Doncars- they were great and very reasonable) so that we could do a bit of sightseeing and visit the rest of the island.
All in all, a great holiday in a lovely villa which we would highly recommend

Villa Rosa, Binibeca
If you want a relaxing holiday in a fantastic villa this is for you. The villa has three large bedrooms, plenty of sitting areas both inside and outdoors with a number of different terraces to choose from. The pool is very private and very well maintained. We found the villa to be very clean and in a lovely location not far from the sea.
A sandy beach is also nearby with safe swimming and is a good place to go snorkeling.
The restaurants near the villa were very good, with great views over the sea, our favourite being Cala Mar. The small supermarket near the excellent bakery has everything you need. The bakery is great for a breakfast and your lunchtime treats.
We had a wonderful holiday and would recommend the villa and its location.

A highly recommended villa
Lovely secluded villa with plenty of privacy yet close to beach, supermarket and restaurants. It is situated in Cala Torret but within walking distance of Binibeca Vell and Punta Prima. It is also close to a bus stop and tourist train stop. The villa is spotless and well equiped. Air conditioning worked well. We particularly loved the good sized pool and the roof terrace with seaview. Garden has lots of colourful flowers, lemons and even grapes! The owner is really friendly helpful and very efficient. There are a lot of steps in and around the villa, which may not be suitable for everyone.

Thank you for your review which will be most helpful to other travellers and is good for us to hear. We will also pass on your observations to the management and the gardener. The management are so important in keeping things in good order and the gardener, as you can imagine hasn't got the easiest of tasks tending to bushes and shrubs on a slope!
We hope you enjoyed Menorca enough to pay us a visit again sometime in the future.

Relaxing Holiday
Once again we enjoyed a very relaxing stay at this secluded and well-equipped villa. The patio furniture and sun beds have all been renewed. The weather was very hot so we were glad to be able to cool down in the pool. The villa is a short walk from restaurants ; a supermarket and a bakery. It is advisable this year to book if you want to eat out as there is an unusually high number of Spanish and French holidaymakers on the island.

Thank you for your helpful review. We understand it has been very busy with tourists from Europe. They have been taking advantage of the availability that the British tourists have not filled this year! Booking restaurants well in advance has been necessary, unlike previous years where evening bookings during the week were usually not such an issue.

Perfect location
An ideal location for a totally relaxing holiday. Quiet and not overlooked, perfect for chilling out by the pool or on roof top terraces either in the day or on evening if you've been out all day. The villa is spotlessly clean and fully equipped with everything you could need. Locally there is a well stocked small supermarket for basic essentials. Bigger supermarkets are a short drive away. Only a short stroll to a lovely beach, which is clean and sparkling clear water, and local restaurants. Local buses are cheap and worth using for a visit to Mahon. Our third visit and have already booked for next year. Highly recommended.
