Hotel Rural Morvedra Nou
Away in a manger
South of Ciutadella
For a bovine take on the Balearics, Hotel Rural Morvedra Nou, just outside of Ciutadella in Menorca, is the fashionable farmstay (with scrubbed-up former cow sheds) for you. There’s nothing ‘nou’ about this agrarian escape – its outbuildings have held hay for more than three centuries now. New for this summer though are superbly stylish interiors, with a rustic neutral palette, yes, but also glass walls and nautical striped sunloungers replacing the troughs. The 185 acres are home to literal high points, vineyards and orchards – and the bright lights of Ciutadella are just a 15-minute drive away.
Planes
Menorca’s airport is in its capital, Mahón, a roughly 45-minute drive from the agriturismo. Transfers in a fancy Land Rover cost €160 each way.
Automobiles
You’ll need a car to get around this rural isle and its pretty port cities – there’s a free car park right by the main house on the estate.
Worth Getting Out of Bed For
As the name suggests, the hotel has a sylvan setting, but it’s only a 15-minute drive to the centre of Ciutadella, the island’s pretty port city, which has a Gothic city hall, a castle, a 14th-century cathedral with a marble altar and a Baroque chapel, and various mediaeval streets to stroll along. If all that sounds a little urban, you can stick with Hotel Rural Morvedra Nou’s rusticity and book a private yoga class or massage somewhere in the grounds – or go coastal, with a boat trip, or some kayaking, diving and snorkelling. You can also pick out your preferred route of the Camí de Cavalls, a trail that encircles the entire island – it can be tackled on horseback, electric bicycle or even your own two feet.
