What day do rentals start?
Rentals start on a Friday. The main reason behind this is that the majority
of flights from the UK arrive on this day.
What is the earliest time that I can arrive at the Villa and what time
must we depart?
To be safe, we suggest that you arrive after 2pm, which allows our agent time
to clean the villa prior to your arrival. However we try to be flexible
and may be able to alter this. On the day of departure, the villa must be vacated
by 10am, but again we try to be flexible.
Do we need to hire a car?
Hiring a car is not a necessity when staying at
our villa, however, to enjoy all the island's attractions and help with your
food shopping, we would thoroughly recommend it. Menorca is a small island
- approximately 30
miles
long and
almost any place is accessible within one hour. There are plenty
of places to visit around the island - outstanding
beaches,
towns
and
various events such as local fiestas during the season. If, however, you choose
not to hire a car on arrival, there are taxis available at the airport. The
approximate cost from the airport to the villa is €16.
Do you provide directions to the Villa?
Yes, a map will be sent to you once your booking has been confirmed.
How do I get into the villa on arrival?
Your keys are sent to you approximately a fortnight prior to
departure.
How far is the villa from any supermarkets and restaurants?
The nearest supermarket and restaurants are approximately a 10
minute walk from the villa at Cala Torret. A slightly further walk will bring
you to Binibeca Vell where you will find another small supermarket and three
more restaurants.
Do you supply pool furniture?
Yes, there are 10 sun loungers plus 10 chairs and 2 tables alongwith assorted
li-lo's, masks and flippers etc. which you will find in the large storage area
(La Capella beside the pool).
Is the tap water safe to drink?
Yes, the water is perfectly safe to drink, however, if you prefer bottled water,
this is available from local supermarkets at approximately 85p for 5 litres.
What satellite channels do you subscribe to?
Currently, we subscribe to the "free view" channels which include
BBC1, BBC2, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, Sky News, and some music channels. Please
look at the links page for more information on channels available.
Are there any books & games in the villa?

What happens if we have any problems when we are staying in the villa?
We use Redorka - a local agent, based in Binibeca - who will be
able to assist you with any queries you may have.
Is there a phone in the villa?
We do not have a telephone at the villa, however, if your mobile phone can
be used overseas you will find there is a strong signal.
How far is the villa from the beach?
The beach is approximately 800 yards away.
Do you provide a cot and highchair?
No, but this can be arranged through Redorka - our local agent. The cost
is approx €2 per day.
