An Old Menorcan Farmhouse with Its Own Path to the Sea
Santa Ponça is an 18th-century farmhouse in the middle of Menorca, on a 108 hectare private estate in one of the most protected parts of the island. It was once home to a well-known Menorcan family. A 14th-century tower rises from the main house, there's a private chapel from 1789, and a private path leads 2.4 kilometres through the estate to Cala Mitjana, one of the island's best beaches.

An Old Menorcan Farmhouse with Its Own Path to the Sea
Santa Ponça is an 18th-century farmhouse in the middle of Menorca, on a 108 hectare private estate in one of the most protected parts of the island. It was once home to a well-known Menorcan family. A 14th-century tower rises from the main house, there's a private chapel from 1789, and a private path leads 2.4 kilometres through the estate to Cala Mitjana, one of the island's best beaches.
Living Spaces
The house faces south over two floors and 330 square metres. Inside are the old vaulted ceilings typical of Menorcan farmhouses, and a bow window on the facade left over from the British years on the island. The rooms are furnished with pieces collected from France, Portugal and Spain. House managers look after the place, with daily cleaning and a breakfast of local cheeses, fruit and jams, and a private chef in July and August.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms
Six bedrooms sleep twelve, and each has its own bathroom. Every room is a little different, furnished to suit the age of the house rather than to look like a hotel. Bath products come from MERAKI, with good linen and towels.
The Environment
The house sits in 108 hectares of private farmland and woods, so there are no neighbours in sight. There's a pool, a working farm, and the old chapel attached to the main house. From the top of the tower you can see the sea. The private path to Cala Mitjana means you can walk to the beach without getting in the car.
The Location
Santa Ponça is on Menorca's south coast near Ferreries, a quiet inland town with a Saturday market. Cala Mitjana is a short walk through the estate, and Cala Galdana is just along the coast. Ciutadella is about 25 minutes' drive and Maó and the airport about 35. A car is useful for everything beyond the beach.
