About this property

Magister Gardens, Menorca

The property is a restored Grade 1 listed house on the outskirts of the town of Alaior. It is a 10 minute walk into the village, ideal for the early bird that wishes to surprise the family with fresh bread and a newspaper at breakfast! Its central location within the island puts both the northern and southern beaches within close proximity. The idyllic beach of Son Bou only 12 minutes away and Binigaus is only 15 minutes away by car. Alaior itself is a small interior town, very much undeveloped touristically and perhaps the most authentic town on the island. The property is set within an acre of rural terraced Mediterranean landscape. It comprises 2 double en-suite bedrooms, 2 twin bedrooms with shared family bathroom, a separate downstairs wc, large kitchen / dining room and living room. It has private secure parking within the grounds adjacent to the house, shaded pergola, and plunge pool . All set within its own secluded walled gardens.

Incredible property on an amazing island.

We had a wonderful stay at Magister Gardens. They house and grounds were immaculate, comfortable, and peaceful. Nick was an attentive and caring host who responded quickly to any questions that we had. We cannot wait to return to Menorca and Magister Gardens in the future.

An idyllic hideaway with stunning gardens

We had a wonderful stay at Magister Gardens, it's the perfect place for a family holiday, oodles of space, brilliantly well-equipped and lovely rooms - and the gardens and terraces are just heavenly. Our twin daughters had a ball splashing around in the pool and hunting down wild tortoises in the gardens and we loved whiling away balmy evenings with BBQ's and alfresco feasts under the stars. Thanks to Nick and his team for being super helpful and thoughtful in helping to ensure our stay was one of unadulterated relaxation

Magister Gardens, a slice of heaven!

Magister Gardens is a slice of heaven inside, and out. We are a family of six from across three generations who stayed at Magister for 12 days in July 2017. The house itself is tastefully and thoughtfully renovated. It is extremely livable and discretely elegant. The stone walls and floors keep the house cool and the pool keeps the guests amused and refreshed. The gardens themselves are jaw droppingly beautiful, alive, peaceful, day and night. As our twelve year-old daughter remarked, you can explore the island if you want, but you do not feel compelled to go out, because it is so enchanting and comfortable “at home”. We shopped in the nearby town, cooked lovely meals, read novels, watched the birds and butterflies circle the gardens, laughed under the shooting stars, admired the plants, observed the roving tortoises and splashed in the pool. The beds were comfortable and we slept very deeply. In sum, we wanted for nothing and marveled at everything. If you do choose to adventure outside of the Magister haven, there are stunning beaches with turquoise waters, bike excursions, country rambling, shoe and cheese shopping, mouth watering local restaurants and gorgeous island drives all at a ten minute drive from the house. Finally by staying in Alaior, an authentic town, you experience the true Menorca. Menorca itself is a secret: a blissful and relatively undeveloped island. Most importantly, Nick the visionary and owner of Magister Gardens is a conscientious, kind, prompt host who truly cares about his guests and his property. We were very fortunate to stay at Magister Gardens. Thank you Nick!

Beautiful and tranquil

Our family spent a lovely week at Magister Gardens. Most days we spent visiting various beaches around the island and afternoons lounging in the garden and jumping in and out of the pool. Our kids enjoyed playing tennis and badminton on the green field with the raquets that were at the house. The gardens really were spectacular and we enjoyed them as much as we could. The town of Alaior is almost in the centre of the island so not a far drive to get to any of the beaches, towns and restaurants. It was also very handy to be able to get into town and grocery shops so quickly, by either walking or driving. The multiple playgrounds were great too! Because there was a touch of rain when we first arrived we actually made a fire indoors, which was charming and lovely. There were a few mosquitos and it was very handy to have mosquito nets for the kids, although they didn't bother the adults. Nick and his team were very helpful and always responded to questions and concerns quickly. Thanks for a great stay!

Magister Gardens es un lugar con encanto

Magister Gardens es un lugar con encanto. Parece un tópico pero no lo es. Tras el muro de piedra que rodea la propiedad se puede sentir el paso de la historia. La recuperación del lugar llevada a cabo con sensibilidad y acierto permite conjugar el pasado y el presentre ofreciendo todas las comodidades. Perfecto en cuanto a equipamiento y limpieza. Pese a que estuvimos en período invernal pudimos disfrutar del cuidado jardín y explorar el resto de la propiedad que no deja de sorprender. El trato del propietario y de la persona local a cargo fueron excelentes, nos ayudaron con los preparativos y nos resolvieron cualquier duda. Es un lugar muy recomendable para las personas que quieran estar en el centro de Menorca en un lugar tranquilo, en un entorno maravilloso. Poco recomendable para las personas con movilidad reducida porque el acceso a la vivienda es desde el jardín, descendiendo por unas rústicas escaleras exteriores. Conocíamos ya la isla, pero una vez más no nos dejó de sorprender. El benévolo invierno mediterráneo nos permitió disfrutar de unos días de playa con el aliciente de la tranquilidad del mes de diciembre. Recomendamos alojarse en Magister Gardens para poder disfrutar de unos días mágicos en Menorca.

Stunning villa set in the most beautiful gardens

Everything about Magister Gardens is magical. The setting couldn't be more perfect. As soon as you enter the property it's like being in your own completely peaceful and private world. The interior of the villa is beautifully designed, spacious and a deliciously cool refuge from the baking sun! It is comprehensively equipped with everything you could possible need and maintained and serviced to the highest standards.

Magister Gardens Summer 2015

Magister Gardens is a unique house, as beautiful in real life as it is on the website. The house has been carefully designed and yet it is a holiday house that is easy to maintain. The simple and harmonious color scheme, the natural stone and the mediterranean light come together to create a restful and serene atmosphere. What a bliss ! The house is spacious and offers many places to relax, be it in the garden, in the pool area or inside. The gardens still need to be developed but there are many fruit trees, so we were able to make a jar of our own Magister Gardens fig jam… The pool is set in an old cistern, which makes it really special too. As for the surroundings, the small town of Alaior is lively and very authentic, many local people gather on the streets in the late afternoon and the cafes are full of joyous crowds having a drink before going home. We loved it. It's definitely worth driving to the beach rather than staying in a beach complex and miss the experience. As for Menorca, we fell in love with it. Pristine nature, beautiful beaches, no bling. So close to home and yet a real get-away. Than you Nick for providing such a nice experience! We will be back.

A very special place to stay.

This was our second visit to Alaior, a perfect place to stay to explore all parts of the Island. We have found Alaior to be one of the most unspoilt and friendly Menorcan towns, complete with a wood fired baker’s oven in a traditional bakery, which we stumbled across down a small side street one evening. Magister Gardens is a rather special place to stay. It is newly renovated with great attention to detail and tastefully furnished. All the appliances were new and the kitchen was well equipped. Traditional stone walls and the marble floors kept the inside pleasantly cool. The property is very private, yet not secluded. Doors open straight onto the garden and even though some of the planting is not yet established, we found mature cherry, apricot, orange, lemon, pear, almond and pomegranate trees. Spotting the tortoises roaming free in the wild area became a favourite pastime. We flew from Exeter, four hours door to door, and would definitely consider booking this property again next year.
