We had a great 10 day family holiday at villa Bini Estrella. We were we 2 families, 8 guests in total, with children/young adults aged 22, 18, 15, and 7. The accommodation was spotlessly clean on arrival and furnished in a traditional style, some items of furniture were a bit worn around the edges but all functional. Villa has a very homely feel and good size. Top veranda overlooks the town with sea view which was lovely in the evenings. The smaller bathroom and kitchen are a bit dated and probably in need of an update but all functional and useable so although could look a bit better didnât effect our holiday. Both bathrooms have a shower just the main bathroom is a shower and bath. Water pressure is excellent so showers worked well. The star of the villa is the pool which is a great size and great fun on a hot day, pool is in the shade late evening 6pm onwards so nice to cool down or chill out by after a full day of sun. Pool only had one umbrella so with 8 loungers an extra one would be better for large parties like ours, to give a bit of extra shade in the day. All bedrooms have air conditioning which we needed as was exceptionally hot even at night so weâre very useful to keep inside cool. Es Canutells town itself is very quite so no real nightlife for young adults as such, there is a restaurant overlooking the main beach which is very pretty and food was traditional Spanish. Restaurant is open at lunch and evenings and as the only one in the town gets busy so worth booking for larger groups. We loved the Spanish feel of the town and area and as a family holiday is a good base as close to Mahon, Binifuser and BiniBecca. I would say a car is essential to get to other beaches, visit other towns, and get to supermarkets in Mahon (The port and markets in Mahon are also worth a visit, dont go early as nothing opens until at least 6-7pm) There is a small shop in town which is good for essentials but more expensive for bigger shops. We tended to drive into Mahon which has lots of supermarkets, our favourite was Mercadona on the outskirts. Overall this villa and location was a great base to see and explore the island or chill by the pool.
