We have just come back down to earth after staying at matchani gran for a week, where we have experienced a little bit of heaven!
Shaun and Jenny, our hosts, welcomed us with a refreshing drink before settling us into our beautiful country farmhouse style room.
Shaun took time out from his busy day to sit down, and show places of interest to us such as the beaches and the marinas and restaurants - he even gave us a map!!
The breakfasts were freshly prepared and plentiful, although Jenny no longer cooks in the evening, we were able to use all of the kitchen facilities or barbecue ourselves should we wish to.
Potential guests who have not visited Menorca before should note that a car is essential for exploring the island, as it is very beautiful.
Having read other comments on this site, we appreciate all of the positives and whilst the negatives may have an element of truth - they were very much outweighed by our experience of total relaxation, laughter, joy, silence, peace and a renewed sense of wonder for nature and beauty. Not forgetting the added bonus of meeting lots of friendly, and interesting people!!!
Matchani Gran is the ideal base for exploring Menorca. A place where you can return in the evening after a day of activity, have a drink at the bar and chat with fellow guests about your experiences.
Matchani Gran is a farmhouse, so you should expect a little fraying around the edges - five star luxury it is not, but our experience was priceless- emotionally and spiritually. We felt genuinely welcomed almost as family members, but not in an intrusive way.
If you decide to stay here then forget your watch, and just allow yourself to ..be....
We will certainly be back for more !!
