| Located in a small valley at the centre of Menorca, and surrounded by a luxurious garden replete with oak and palm trees, this 19th century aristocratic house has been transformed into an elegant and attractive accommodation – a perfect antidote for those looking to get away from stress and city life. Decoration has been done with style and care. English and Minorca period pieces, 18th century classical furniture and Persian carpets in common areas, blend together with more modern fittings and sloping ceilings whilst the light airy colours of ochre, blue and amber, so typical of the Mediterranean, predominate throughout. The end result is that nothing has been taken away from the house’s aristocratic credentials and much has been added to increase the comfort of guests. There are many little corners from which to enjoy peace and tranquillity, none more so than from ground floor rooms, which all come with their own private gardens and where, weather permitting, a memorable breakfast can be enjoyed. Those on the first floor need not despair as these one out onto landings with views of the countryside. The Sant Ignasi is within an easy reach of all the beaches on the northern and southwestern coast of the island and the town of Ciutadella de Menorca is a delight to behold. |

Mahón, or Maó, with it’s 20,000 inhabitants, is the capital of Menorca. The city’s architecture reflects the presence of the British Empire, and legend has it that it was at the Finca San Antonio, where Admiral Nelson and Lady Hamilton spent some romantic encounters together. The harbour of Mahón is said to be the second largest in the world (Pearl Harbour being the biggest). The “Aquarium” in the harbour area presents an interesting exibition of Mediterrenean flora and fauna.
La Cuitadella de Menorca had been the island’s capital before this honour was given to Mahon in 1721 by the British. Although architectural vestiges from the moorish occupation are still everywhere to be seen, Cuitadella, moreso than Mahón, is imbued with an authentic Mediterranean atmosphere and colour, mediaeval facades, aristocratic buildings and narrow, labyrinthine streets of the historic centre.

Prehistoric monuments
Trepucó (south from Mahón): prehistoric settlement with the biggest set of taulas in the balearic islands. Taulas are huge, up to 5 metres high, megalithic buildings - T-shaped structures built from two immense rectangular stone slabs, simular to Stonehenge in England. Their meaning remains an unsolved mystery to this day.
Torelló und Talatí de Dalt: prehistoric settlements where the impressive talayots - huge round stone-walled towers with thick, wooden-beamed roofs – taulas, and column arrangements can be found. |
