Vintage Travel Villa Focus – Luxury villa in Menorca, Es Puntarro

Es Grau and the villa Es Puntarro – Mouth-wateringly Menorca! One of the biggest pleasures about being on the island of Menorca is stumbling across the many quaint fishing villages that sporadically sprout up on the island’s coastline.

One such timeless Menorcan fishing villaige delight is Es Grau, which has the added privilege of being surrounded by a stunning nature reserve, known as S’ Albufera d’ Es Grau, which is famed primarily for its striking inland saltwater lakes.

If your mouth is watering with yearnings to travel to this exceptionally outstanding corner of Menorca then to augment your cravings even further we would like to inform you of a luxury villa in Menorca named Es Puntarro.

This magnificent five bedroom villa has four bathrooms and can sleep up to ten guests. Located just a ten minute drive from the village of Es Grau and its surrounding nature reserve, one would be right to assume that the views from Es Puntarro are nothing less than divine.

The luxury villa in Menorca itself has been restored to an exceptionally high standard, retaining a traditional charm that is in keeping with its surroundings. At the same time Es Puntarro ensures its guests enjoy only the most comfortable of stays, with modern appliances, such as TVs, a DVD player, a microwave, dishwasher, washing machine and even central heating, being readily available.

Authentic features such as traditional wooden beams, sloping ceilings, an open fire place and classily harmonised tiles generate a warm, cosy and welcoming mood, enhanced further by a beautiful farmhouse-style kitchen and rustically appealing bathroom.

Es Puntarro’s exterior is as magical as its interior heightened terrifically by panoramic views of Menorcan countryside at its most diverse and dynamic. An extensive garden scattered with flowerbeds brings a flurry of colour to a landscape otherwise dominated by the verdure of the hills, fields and Es Puntaro’s lawn, the azure and typically cloudless sky above and the whitewashed walls of this magnificent villa.

Providing a justifiably grand entrance to the villa’s 11 metre private pool are steep stone steps, just another pleasantly quirky feature of a luxury villa in Menorca brimming with character.

You could be forgiven if you spent your holiday barricaded into Es Puntarro’s stunning grounds but, be warned, you would seriously miss out on experiencing Menorca at its very best.

Asides visiting the treasured nearby town of Es Grau and its sandy shallow beaches backed by sand dunes, a visit to the harbour town of Mao is highly recommended, if not just to sample eating out in one of the many legendary restaurants this atmospheric town has to offer.
