The Finca is surrounded by nature and is a reflection of the tradition and the refinement of the Mediterranean world. Lying in front of the property stretches out a Jardin a la Francaise, full of luscious greenery and fragrant herbs, an impressive fountain and a 25 m swimming pool with cabana loungers to relax on. Additionally, there are terraces at different levels, one of them offering a magnificent sunset over the rolling Minorca hills, the perfect place for an aperitif.

The second floor is discrete and minimalistic, an ideal retreat from the rest of the house.

Lunches are often served at the outside covered terrace, featuring pool side drinks followed by a local speciality or grilled dish, home made ice-creams and chilled wine.
