Flanked by a pretty garden of flower-filled borders, elegant palm trees and a quintessentially Menorcan terrace of bougainvillea-strewn arches, this charming island home looks out across its attractive grounds and pool to a backdrop of Mediterranean foliage and an enticing glimpse of the shimmering blue waters of the nearby ocean.

A privileged location, on the hillside above the sweeping golden sands of Menorca’s longest beach, makes Ca’n S’Oliva an attractive choice for a holiday by the sea within easy reach of amenities. As we explored the leafy residential lanes that weave their way between the pretty whitewashed homes of Torre Soli we were delighted to discover that the nearest restaurant is just 170m away. Continuing downhill towards the sea we reached the bustling resort itself after 1km, whilst only a short distance beyond, the sandy shoreline of Son Bou beckoned with its dune-backed beach and ocean vistas.

Inside the house, we were delighted to find an open-plan layout incorporating living, dining and kitchen areas that were bathed in light by patio doors lining its west facing façade. Flowing easily through to the covered terrace and pretty lawned garden, this hub of the home welcomed us with the promise of happy gatherings around the table, extending out onto the adjacent terrace to watch fun-filled activities in the pool beyond.
