Beatifully renovated country houses
Away from the beaches and towns, Menorca’s countryside is dotted with the typical whitewashed ‘casas de campo’ (country houses or farm houses). Built from local limestone, with terrcotta roof tiles to catch rainwater, thick walls to keep out the heat in summer and the cold in winter, and small windows on the north side to protect from the Tramontana winds, these homes were built for year-round living. Although many of them are hundreds of years old, they make charming family homes, esecially when maintained and renovated with taste and style.
These are a few of our favourites:
