Hi Arianne

I am looking to do the same myself next year and have found james villas, http://www.jamesvillas.co.uk/,
offer a huge choice when it comes to location and sizes. They price per villa, per week so you can take advantage of booking your own flights. Easyjet are soon flying twice a week from Gatwick and Bristol (inc friday which is when the weeks start) so you can take advantage of low-cost flights too!

we have just booked via bartle holidays and found their staff to be very helpfull. They also offer various discounts depending on when you are travelling ie we recieved the second week half price, we also found them to be cheaper than James villas for the same standard of villa.
regards,
Marc

I highly recommend a Menorca villa company called Whites Villas - we have used them three times in the last two years and have already re-booked for next year

They are owned by a really helpful English guy called Bill who is based in Nottingham but also has an office based in s'algar run by a lady called Nina - who is on call should you have any problems whilst you are on holiday etc

Their villas are based mainly around the South/east of the island - i.e S'algar, binibeca, biniancolla etc - I have found this part of the island to be the least commercial myself

I know it works out quite a lot cheaper to book through Whites villas than to book a package holiday in Menorca and that Bill offers some good deals including a budget villa which includes free car hire and also long term lets out of season etc

Incidentally I can't remember the name of the car hire company that he uses but they have always been spot on and the price seemed to be very competititve - I think you get a better deal than normal customers if you have booked one of Bill's villas

The good thing is that Bill arranges the flights and someone meets you at the airport with your car etc

Whites Villas are quite low key in that they don't have a website (as far as I know) but they do have a brochure they can send you

I mentioned them on here once before when someone was asking for villa recommendations but at the time I didn't have a contact point but have now got their phone number which is 0115 9268060

Their villas are definitely worth considering if you are looking for a peaceful relaxing villa break with good support available to you close at hand

We stay in s'algar which is a lovely litlle resort - but you must hire a car to get the most from the island

Try the Cala Galdana palms, we stayed ther last year are going back soon, they are in a lovely position far enough out of the resort for peace and quiet but easily walkable, last year we booked through Style but this year we have booked through Villas to go, and have booked flights seperately. The villas are lovely some of them are on a slight hill but my mum who is not very agile managed it. The view from our garden was lovely and they were very well equipped.
Good luck.
Gill.

Have a look at holiday-rentals.co.uk or holiday lets.

I can highly recommend HOLIDAY VILLAS MENORCA (I think thats the company name?) Their website is http://www.holidayvillasmenorca.co.uk . The telephone number will be on the website.

We have been travelling to Menorca for many years and have stayed all over the island in various villas.....that is until we found these villas! These villas are by far the best quality/standard for the price you pay.

The location is fantastic, in a quiet location right next to the sea and everything is within close walking distance.... beach, restaurants, shops, bars and kids play areas. There is even a little supermarket just opposite (run by a very friendly guy).

We are leaving for Menorca in just over one week and I can't wait !! We've booked three villas on the 15th and are going with the whole family this time. Can't wait!!

The villas I am talking about are the Calan Bruc villas, they have some other villas which also look great, but I can't comment as we havn't stayed there.

Happy Holidaying !!

well am off to menorca soon and would love look at these appts in view of booking next year...can you give me vaque directions and is it possible to see the snorkelling pool without invading the holiday makers?
Ta Gill.

Hi Gill,

We found Calan Bruc a few years ago, before these villas were even built. We have close family that live nearby. It's a place that the locals like to keep as a secret....to keep all the tourists away......

......so don't tell anyone.....

The Calan Bruc villas that we stay in are on more of a private little cove next to the main Calan Bruc Cove.

Directions

If you make your way to Calan Blanes (near Ciutadella) then follow signs to Calan Bruc and the Calan Bruc Restaurant....you are there! Just park on the road by the restaurant and walk down to the sunbathing platforms.......... there you will see the most beautiful "natural swimming pool" ever !!

To find the villas.... when you are looking out to sea with the restaurant on your right, you will see a little path that goes round the headland....follow the path all the way round (three minute walk) until you get to the other little cove....there are the villas !!

We have got 3 villas booked for next week.... they are perfect for the whole family... we will be sitting on the terrace with a G&T and a smoking BBQ, while the teenagers are snorkling in the cove below, and the younger ones are in the pool or garden....I CAN'T WAIT.

We have been to menorca hundreds of times, but this will be our first with the whole family.

Have a great stay in Menorca Gill....I know we will

Thanks for letting me know. I hope you have a good holiday I shall look these apartments up and hopefully may be going back next year.
Gill

Maybe we'll cross paths next year.

We have already booked our May holiday in the villas for next year! They book up quite fast.... Although I have just seen that they have got some special offers on at the moment.

Hi elaine and gilly,

we've also stayed in these villas and would highly recommend them too, we've now had 3 fab holidays with holiday villas menorca. our neighbour recommended them to us after they'd stayed in Calan Bosch, we've stayed in calan bosch and calan bruc now and love both.
hope the family holiday went well elaine! make sure you post about how it went

I can recommend http://www.holidayvillasmenorca.co.uk
as Elaine did above. We have just come back from The Waters Edge Villa Villa Tulipan, it was a lovley, better than the pictures, it is a brilliant location, the veiws are amazing, we went snorkling right by the villa.The pool is excellent and we used the BBQ too. The supermarkets are in walking distance and the villa has everything you need, even a washing machine, Cala n forcat is within walking distance as is the beach. We have stayed in lots of hotels and apartments and would only ever go again if we could get this Villa. The bars and resturants all cater for different tastes and welcome families.The Villa is not too far from the old Capital od Cuitadella a pretty old town and harbour, well worth a visit.
Phil the villa managemnt guy is very friendly, you have someone on calll when you need them.
We will be going back for definate.
