VF028 Villa Maria in Son Bou

A substantial detached villa with four air-conditioned bedrooms, three bathrooms and a private pool, located on a secluded and tranquil plot in San Jaime, the sought-after residential area of Son Bou. Villa Maria occupies an elevated position on the rising land above the beach and offers guests excellent views down to the sea just a few hundred metres distant.

Built in the traditional style of a Menorcan resort villa in this area, accommodation is arranged over two levels, with a further lower pool terrace with outside shower and lavatory. On entering at street level there is a hallway leading to the traditional style kitchen, the good-sized, light and airy living room and a separate dining room.

The living room is comfortably furnished with sofas and chairs, a ceiling fan, and is equipped with a DVD player. There is wifi internet access with accompanying IPTV channels. The kitchen is well equipped with an oven and hob, fridge-freezer, dishwasher, electric kettle, toaster and all the crockery, utensils and equipment necessary for the family self-catering holiday. There is a washing machine in the utility room located on the lower level. Large double doors open from both living and dining room on to the upper-level balcony-terrace which runs along the entire front of the villa and from which there are lovely sea views. The balcony has ample room for table, chairs and sunbeds.

A returning staircase from the entrance hall leads down to the lower level accommodation, where Villa Maria’s four bedrooms, all of which are air-condititoned, are located. All are situated on the sea-side of the villa so that they can enjoy the views. At one end of the hallway is the master bedroom, furnished with double bed, ensuite fully tiled bathroom with bath and shower attachment. The other three bedrooms are each furnished with two single beds, the villa therefore providing standard accommodation for up to eight guests. One of the twin bedrooms also has an ensuite bathroom, and there is a further family shower room/WC on this level, as well as the utility room. All bedrooms are air-conditioned, have ample fitted wardrobes, and ceiling fans.

From the bedroom-level balcony an exterior staircase leads down to the 9.75x4m swimming pool and large pool terrace. The tiled terrace is extensive, with more than 90sq m of space for the outside dining table and chairs, sun beds and drinks tables. As well as the uncovered sunbathing areas surrounding the pool, there is a covered area to the rear of the terrace. There is a food preparation area and brick BBQ, as well as a small fridge.

A few steps at both ends of the pool terrace provide access to the pretty garden, resplendent with colour during the season from the mature bougainvillea and lantana shrubs. A gate at the side of the garden opens to a public but little known/used footpath with stairs which leads down to the primary road of the resort with its direct access to an excellent range of shops, bars, restaurants and entertainment facilities and, of course, the wonderful beach. All are within a 10-minute walk.

The popular family resort of Son Bou boasts the longest beach in Menorca. Some 2 miles (3km) of pale golden sand is sandwiched between a pair of rocky headlands. The eastern end of the beach is usually busy and has lots of bars, restaurants and watersports but, as you walk west, the beach becomes wilder, and quieter. Son Bou has all you need for a seaside holiday: opportunities for safe swimming, windsurfing, pedaloes and water-skiing plus entertainment. Club San Jaime will keep children occupied with its water chute while adults can relax in the landscaped gardens with cool drink
