Villa S’Atalaya

For some of the best views in the whole of Menorca, this beautiful five bedroom, four bathroom villa boasts one of the most spectacular positions of Mahon’s stunning harbour. The views from every part of the house is are simply stunning!! It is located on the North side of the harbour in Cala Llonga, on the frontline with uninterrupted views of the Isla del Rey. It is situated down a quiet cul-de-sac, in a quiet residential area and therefore is a perfect place for a peaceful getaway.

From the driveway, there are steps leading down to the entrance door. The villa is built on 3 separate levels On entering the villa there is a spacious hallway on the middle floor. Down some stairs to the ground floor is the very spacious lounge with a large seating area as well as a TV area to the right. Again, sea views across the harbour hit you immediately when entering the lounge area. In the TV area, which is comfortably and stylishly furnished, it is equipped with TV with IPTV channels, DVD player, and Wi-Fi Internet access. In addition, there is a dining are to the left of the lounge looking over the sea with a table which can comfortably seat 6 people. There are dual aspect doors from the lounge that lead out onto the large wrap-around sun room where there are comfy sofas to look out over the spectacular sea views.

Off the dining area you will find the kitchen with navy blue units and a granite worktop is well supplied with a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, electric oven and hob, washing machine, toaster, microwave, kettle, coffee maker, plus all the cutlery and crockery necessary for a self-catering holiday. There is also another large dining table in here which again, can comfortably seat 6 people.

Also off of the dining area are large patio doors leading out to the large outdoor seating and terrace. Here you will find 6 large wicker chairs and table all looking over the Harbour. Behind this seating area is a large outdoor dining table with 8 chairs. Perfect for meals of an evening whilst watching the sun go down over the sea. There is also a built in brick BBQ for use with food preparation areas and then another dining area, this time covered.

Additional steps leads to a number of terraces to enjoy a “sundowner” and admire the spectacular sea views. In addition, there is also direct access to the pool jetty and direct access to the water´s edge.

Back into the house on the ground floor, you will find the 1st of the 5 bedrooms in the villa, This bedroom is a large twin bedroom (which can be made up as a double), stylishly decorated and furnished and overlooking the villa´s larger than normal swimming pool. This room also has a large dressing room with fitted wardrobes and an En Suite bathroom with shower over a bath, WC and sink. Next to this room is a large Master double bedroom again furnished to the highest quality. Again this room has En Suite with walk-in shower, WC and sink and looks over the pool area as well as having sea views.

The villa´s large pool and terrace area is finally found on this floor to the left hand side of the property and has access from both bedrooms as well as from the sun room. The pool is larger than your average villa pool and has Roman Steps for entry. Looking over the sea from all areas here, the large terrace area surrounding the pool has comfy sun loungers for 9 people as well as a table and 4 chairs. There is also a shower to rinse off after a swim and there is also a poolside bar with fridge and food preparation areas and bar stools to enjoy a drink.

Area:

Nestling on low hills on the north shore of Mahon Harbour, Sant Antoni overlooks the waterfront close to Cala Llonga. Looking across to the historic Isla del Rey (floodlit during the summer months and at Christmas), there are constantly changing views during the day thanks to the yachts, fishing boats and ships that sail these world-famous waters! At night-time the breath-taking sunsets and distant twinkling lights of Es Castell are magical. Little wonder that San Antoni is one of the most sought-after areas in Menorca.

In contrast to the peace and quiet of San Antoni, a five minute water taxi or car ride will take you to Mahon’s lively waterfront restaurants, bars, galleries and boutiques. From here you can walk up the ancient steps to the atmospheric old town with an even bigger selection of shops, eateries and places of interest including the colourful food and fish markets.

There are various sandy beaches near to San Antoni: the closest is the lovely cove of Cala Mesquida approximately 5 kilometres away, whilst the quaint fishing village of Es Grau with its wide horseshoe shaped sandy beach is approximately 10kms away. The 19th century fortress of La Mola on the nearby headland at the mouth of the harbour is also well worth a visit.

Chartering a boat is the perfect way to explore Menorca’s numerous sandy beaches and crystal clear waters. Boats can be chartered for any duration, but if you don’t have the requisite skills you can still enjoy the thrill of being at sea by being part of an organised boat trip for anything between a couple of hours up to a day. If you enjoy snorkelling, diving or fishing, you will find plenty to do along Menorca’s diverse coastline with its innumerable coves, inlets and beaches.

If you prefer to stay on dry land, the 20 waymarked tracks along the island’s coastline are great for pony trekking, hiking or cycling. A 10 minute drive from San Antoni will take you to Son Parc with its 18 hole golf course (the only one on the island).
