From the entrance hall, to the right, is the spacious and luminous kitchen. The windows on all of the three walls let in plenty of natural light and offer views over the pool terrace and also over the harbour – nothing like cooking with a view!

Next to the kitchen, there is a small utility room, with a washing machine and a tumble dryer.  There are portable clothes lines and a rotary line in the garden.

To the left from the entrance hall is the open plan dining/living area which has two sets of French doors that lead out onto the pool terrace, letting in lots of natural light and offering great views over the pool and the Addaia harbour.  The large dining room table seats up to eight people.  The living area is divided into two seating areas: one facing the pool with a sofa, two chairs and a coffee table; while the other is in the far corner of the room, with two sofas facing a flat-screen TV. The TV is connected to a satellite dish and a Sky-box and there is also a DVD player.  The dining/living area has ceiling fans and built-in air conditioning.

On the other side of the dining/living area, there is a set of glass doors that lead off to a small, shady outdoor dining area, with a table that seats 8. There is also a WC at the bottom of the stairs.

The villa boasts different outside areas where you can relax, dine, enjoy the sun or find a shady spot. Firstly, there is the main pool terrace, at the front of the house, and overlooking Addaia’s scenic harbour boasting a 8×4 swimming pool. Here you will find sunbeds, a dining table that seats up to eight people, and a seating area with a coffee table. There is a large gas barbecue, perfect for summer al fresco dining. To the rear of the house, in addition to the second outdoor dining area, there is a small rock garden with a table and chairs surrounded by trees and bougainvillea; the perfect place for some peace and quiet.

The villa is a couple of minutes stroll both down to the marina with its café and water sport options or up to the bars, restaurants and shops of the small commercial centre of Addaia.  The famous and iconic Cami de Cavalls, the ancient but restored bridle path that encircles virtually all of Menorca’s coastline passes through Addaia.  It is a walkers, hikers and nature lovers’ paradise!  Addaia is ideally located, being a short drive to the wonderful beaches of Arenal den Castell, Na Macaret and Son Saura.  A little further is the beach of Playa de Fornells and its historic and beautiful small town, marina and port, which provides a host of fine dining opportunities, bars, shops selling a wide range of artesian products, and breath-taking coastal views and walks (including the huge bay of Fornells).  Menorca’s abundance of south coast beaches such as Binibeca, Punta Prima, Alcalfar, Cala En Porter etc are around 40-minute drive.

Area:

Port Addaia in Menorca is a sheltered fishing and sailing port on the north east of the island. The large natural harbour inlet is surrounded by rugged farmland whilst the old tower of Torre d’Addaia dominates the entrance to the beautiful estuary where you can dive and fish. The whole area is renowned for its beauty, beaches, scuba diving and bird watching with many country walks and cycling trails clearly signposted. Over the last few years Addaia has become an attractive area of quality residential properties built around a smart marina, home to private yachts and boats. One of the best sailing schools in the Mediterranean is in Fornells, within 30 minutes from Addaia.

Addaia has a few shops and restaurants as well as a small tapas bar/restaurant down on the harbour overlooking the water. A scenic coastal footpath wends its way around Addaia with spectacular views out to sea and over to nearby Macaret. For those who like a little more life, the busier resort of Arenal d’en Castell is approximately 5 minutes by car, with its 650m of sandy beach where you will find bars and restaurants.  If you like seafood, a trip to Fornells is a must!
