Fontenille Menorca – Torre Vella

MENORQUIN COUNTRY HOUSE, BOHEMIAN & CHIC

Set in a green oasis in the heart of the island of Menorca stands a historic finca, bearing witness to a glorious past. This is the home of Fontenille Menorca Torre Vella, a luxury hotel offering a unique stay that combines unspoilt nature, history and wellbeing. Nestled at the end of a valley, surrounded by olive groves, this address has been designed as a simple, bohemian retreat. The hotel offers 17 rooms and suites spread across the main finca, the former barns and the property's outbuildings. The decor is extremely minimalist. White sheer curtains, driftwood, local stone and woven fabrics give it a distinctively chic bohemian feel. The estate also features an outdoor mineral swimming pool, yoga classes on the cliff edge and outdoor massages beneath the holm oaks. For those wishing to unwind, the proximity of the group's other property, Santa Ponsa, gives visitors the chance to use its Susanne Kaufmann spa, nestled in listed 18th-century cisterns with an indoor swimming pool, sauna, steam room and gym. Torre Vella is an ideal destination for those seeking a unique stay that combines nature, wellbeing and history. On the culinary front, the restaurant, named Siempreviva, offers inventive Mediterranean cuisine, showcasing fresh, local produce. Head chef Didac Egea Flores works closely with the island's producers to create flavourful, environmentally friendly dishes. Outside the hotel, visitors can discover the natural beauty of Menorca through hiking, cycling or boat trips. They can also visit the island's picturesque villages, which bear witness to its rich historical past. Fontenille Menorca Torre Vella is the ideal place for an unforgettable stay, up close to nature and history.
