Menorca Agroturismo Llimpet

About Menorca Agroturismo Llimpet

Menorca Agroturismo Llimpet suits travellers who would rather base themselves in the Menorcan countryside than in a resort. The property is a four-star agroturismo outside the main resort areas, with Cala en Porter about 7.5 km away and Son Bou about 8.5 km away. That makes it a workable base for families with a car, for walkers and cyclists, and for couples who want quiet evenings after a day on the coast.

The stay is rural rather than coastal, with a garden, an outdoor pool and a solarium listed among the facilities, and a guest score of 4.3 out of 5 from 142 reviews. Apartments with kitchens, a dinner option and free car parking are all listed, so the property works for a week's stay as much as a short break. Pets are allowed, and anyone travelling with an animal can confirm the conditions in advance.

Location: Alaior

The address is Camí D'en Kane, in the countryside inland of the south coast. Menorca Agroturismo Llimpet has no village on its doorstep, so lanes and farmland set the tone. The practical reference points are Es Mercadal and Monte Toro, about 8.9 km away, Cala en Porter at about 7.5 km and Son Bou at about 8.5 km. Maó and its port sit about 9.7 km from the property.

Walking from the gate suits short lanes and farmland loops rather than beaches or towns. A hire car fits the position better, and the free parking listed at Menorca Agroturismo Llimpet is useful at the end of a day out. In July and August, car parks at the popular southern coves fill early, so leave early for Cala en Porter, about 7.5 km away; in May, June and September the same runs feel calmer.

Rooms and facilities

Rooms and apartments at Menorca Agroturismo Llimpet are listed with air conditioning, a fan, a safe, a TV and free wifi, plus non-smoking rooms and family rooms. Apartments add a kitchen with a dishwasher, oven, microwave, refrigerator and toaster, which suits families and anyone staying a week. Coffee-making kit is listed and cots are available for younger children. Couples can ask for a quieter corner, and late arrivals should confirm arrival arrangements with the property.

Outside the room, the listed facilities include a garden, a patio, a terrace, a picnic area, a solarium and an outdoor pool. A fireplace is listed for cooler months, and dinner is available on site by arrangement, which matters in a countryside setting where an evening drive would otherwise be needed. A laundry service, cleaning and luggage storage also appear on the list. Confirm dinner nights, pool hours and pet conditions with Menorca Agroturismo Llimpet.

Getting there

Menorca Airport (MAH) is about 9.1 km from Menorca Agroturismo Llimpet in a straight line, with the terminal south-west of Maó. A taxi from the arrivals hall or a hire car collected at the airport covers the run to the property. The free car parking listed at Menorca Agroturismo Llimpet means a hire car can be left on site. Island buses serve Maó and, in summer, the resorts; check current routes with the island bus operator.

From Maó port, about 9.7 km away in a straight line, ferries run to Barcelona and Palma, with the Barcelona crossing taking several hours overnight. Ciutadella, in the west, has its own port with crossings to Barcelona and to Alcúdia on Mallorca. Ferries and flights are fewer in winter, so allow some slack on an arrival day. Coming from Cala en Porter, about 7.5 km away, or Son Bou, about 8.5 km away, the drive is short.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest beaches in the figures are Cala en Porter, about 7.5 km away, a deep cove between high cliffs, and Son Bou, about 8.5 km away, the longest beach on the island with dunes and a wetland behind it. Neither is within walking distance of Menorca Agroturismo Llimpet, so plan on driving. Inland, Es Mercadal sits at the foot of Monte Toro, about 8.9 km away, and the summit and its sanctuary are about 7.4 km from the property.

Prehistoric Menorca is close at hand: a talayotic village is about 8.8 km from Menorca Agroturismo Llimpet, and S'Albufera des Grau Natural Park, the core zone of the Biosphere Reserve, is about 9 km away. Island food is part of the reason to stay inland: caldereta de llagosta is the speciality of Fornells, Mahón-Menorca cheese carries a protected designation of origin, and Maó keeps a gin tradition from the years of British rule.

A day from Menorca Agroturismo Llimpet

Start early at Menorca Agroturismo Llimpet and drive the short run to Monte Toro, about 7.4 km away, for the sanctuary and the view across both coasts before the day warms up. Continue to Es Mercadal, about 8.9 km away, for the morning. Then head south to Cala en Porter, about 7.5 km away, or Son Bou, about 8.5 km away, for a swim and a long lunch.

Spend the afternoon differently: a talayotic village about 8.8 km from Menorca Agroturismo Llimpet gives a sense of the island's prehistoric past, and S'Albufera des Grau, about 9 km away, is best walked in the cooler hours. Return for a swim in the pool and dinner on site if it is arranged. An evening in Maó, about 9.7 km from the property to the port, suits anyone wanting a town.

Practical tips

Much of Menorca's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so confirm opening dates with Menorca Agroturismo Llimpet before booking in the quieter months. July and August are the peak, when the south coast coves and their car parks are busiest. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax is charged per person per night by the accommodation; rates vary with season and length of stay and children under 16 are exempt, so check the Govern de les Illes Balears for current rules.
