"Margical stay"
We had a truly magical stay. You wouldn’t believe what awaits you when you first arrive and enter through a little blue door on the edge of the road! It’s like a secret retreat. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and everything has been so well considered; wonderful shady spots, an amazing outdoor dining area, and fruit trees everywhere. As for the house itself, it’s all so well equipped with extremely comfortable beds, great bathrooms with powerful showers and an excellent kitchen. We didn’t know Menorca at all before this trip but we are already planning a return trip to Alaloir as it’s so well-placed to be able to explore the whole island. We did lovely morning trips to Cuitadella and Mahon and then back so quickly to enjoy the pool and gardens in the afternoon. We travelled as 4 adults and 2 children under 4, and it worked really well for us. Nick helped us organise a food delivery shop before we arrived, and provided loads of helpful advice on where to go, as well as helping us organise massages at the house. We have a very adventurous 2-year-old and Nick was really patient with us and her constantly evolving sleeping arrangements! Nothing ever felt like a problem :) Could not recommend this house any more so if you’re hesitating, don’t wait!

"Stunning house with beautiful gardens in Menorca"
We stayed in Magister Gardens for a week and couldn't be happier! The outdoor area with pool and gardens is absolutely beautiful and very private. The rooms are perfectly laid out and some of them have direct access to the garden, which is very nice. The kitchen and living room are very comfortable and spacious. Perfect for a stay with kids! Communication with the property owner went flawlessly and he made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. The location of the house is actually perfect because you everything is within less than 20-25min drive. The town of Alaior is very charming and nice to have an evening walk. We would love to come back one day and needless to say, we absolutely recommend it!

"Maravillosa casa y jardines"
La casa y la finca nos parecieron maravillosas, muy tranquila, bien cuidada, actualizada y con todo detalle para facilitar nuestra estancia allí. El jardín es precioso y está todo impecable. La piscina es encantadora y todos estuvimos muy a gusto. Está situada a las afueras del pueblo de Alaior, perfecto para tener más intimidad; también cerca en coche de cualquier ciudad en la isla, ya que está muy céntrico, para irse a cenar a Ciudadela, Mahón, Fornells... Perfecto el parking para guardar el coche dentro de la finca.

"beautiful property; ideally located; loved it! "
Beautiful property, ideally located in the centre of the Island for easy access to all beaches and other points of interest. A short stroll to the centre of Alaior, charming authentic little town for breakfast/coffee/ice cream/drinks. Very hands on and responsive owners. Loved it!

“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!

“Heavenly”
We travel a lot and we had one of our best holidays ever at the magical Magister Gardens. If you want to totally spoil yourself and TOTALLY relax we cannot recommend it highly enough.
First there is the house with it’s tasteful, neutral decoration, amazingly comfortable beds, great well stocked kitchen and plentiful bathrooms - the showers have good water pressure!
Then the incredible landscaped garden.Just beautiful. The planting is just perfect. It is unbelievably peaceful. It feels completely secluded. We hardly heard another soul. The only thing you do hear is the chirping of the many birds. It is a wildlife haven. Sitting having breakfast outside and listening to the birds and bees, watching butterflies dancing on the grass and even being visited by the occasional native tortoise is utter heaven.
There are many spots for sunbathing - or sunshading - reading and even browsing on the decent speed wifi. And the pool built into an old water cistern is just inspired and makes for a refreshing dip.
The property is perfectly situated to explore the island (although I have to say we hardly ever left the house it is so beautiful).
The pretty Alaior town is minutes away by foot . Perfect to wander into the square and have a cold beer. The supermarkets are very close in the car.
Nick always responded immediately to any requests. He was really helpful about where to eat, shop etc.
We are planning when we can return.

“Beautifully renovated Minorcan Estate”
Despite the high season, the property is private and peaceful, with everything one could wish for in one place. Located perfectly in the center of the island, all attractions and nature are a short drive away. Would recommend it to everyone, really loved staying there, a beautiful estate.

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 for providing such a nice experience! We will be back.

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.

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.
