Santa Ponsa Finca

Santa Posa is a unique property on Menorca : rebuilt mid-19th century, the aristocratic house overlooks 8 ha of luxurious gardens and bleachers : plenty of palm trees, giant fig trees, exotic flowers, ponds, orangeries… With an elaborate watering system and impressive cisterns, Santa Ponsa’s gardens resemble those of the Arabian Nights. Architecturally, although Menorcan elements prevail, Spanish and Moor influences are everywhere : domes, masharbiyya, miniature ziggurat are reminicent of the splendour of what was once a Princely House.
