Torre Vella Menorca, Spain

Fontenille Menorca is a unique concept on the island: a new double-headed eagle, two experiences in two separate fincas which offer, thanks to the many interactions between both hotels and their proximity, a large pallet of opportunities for guests staying in both hotels. Torre Vella, gets its name from the former watchtower situated in the centre of the house : it’s the ultimate finca. Implemented on a site inhabited for over 9,000 years, it extends its secrets to the cliffs which border 1700 meters of the coastline of the 200 ha property. 20ha of vines, 20 ha of aromatic plants (Rosemary, Curry Plant), hundreds of orange, lemon, pomegranate and olive trees, an organic permaculture vegetable garden, a vinification cellar, an essential oils distillery, an oil mill, a honey house : farming in Fontenille Menorca is an undeniable fact of everyday life and has been employing twenty agricultural workers and gardeners since 3 years. To Frontenille Menorca, agrotourism isn’t a marketing strategy, it’s a way of life. They place agriculture, naturalness, traceability, connection to mother earth at the centre of our concerns – as we already do at the Domaine de Fontenille, in Provence and soon in the west of Paris. The knowledge of plant life and flowering cycles, pressing grapes, making their own wine and juice, the use of own oil in all their restaurants: that’s what the farming Island of Menorca is made of. Reconnect with time, mother earth and your inner self.
