Villa Holiday in Menorca - help!

We want to book a villa holiday in Menorca and have found that there are loads of different villa companies. We have spent a lot of time looking but have not made any progress and don't know which villa companies to trust.

We would like any recommendations for villa companies and also some idea of which part of Menorca to visit as we have never been there before. We've got 2 young children and will also be travelling with my parents, so would like a resort suitable for them, that has got nice bars and restaurants, but is not too touristy.

We are restricted by the school holidays, but can travel any time during the 6 weeks (for 2 weeks).

Thanks for any help.

    sorry can't help as i've never been to menorca but suggest you look on the Menorca forum on Tripadviser and Holidaytruths websites and see what people have to say on there. A tip once you find a villa you want to book is to Google the name of the villa as you might find it is on with more than one website and sometimes they charge different prices. Most of our villas in Spain are booked direct with the owner as they have been cheaper and better quality but have a good look around. The other thing is if you book through an agent you probably will have to book saaturday to saturday and as we book DIY flights they are usually weekday flights as cheaper so sometimes easier to find villas which will let you book odd nights' duration. good luck

    Use monarch for your villa and book your flights seperate, Monarch have some lovely Villas within walking distance to bars restaurants and shops

    You should be able to fit some cheap flights in, the Villas tend to have certain intake days though

    We stayed in Binibeca - only about 15 minutes from the airport and handy for Mahon. Being close to the airport means it does get some aircraft noise, but the villa we stayed in was amazing - it was for sale at €650,000!
