Villa Sofia Overview
Villa Sofia is a truly fabulous four bedroom villa located in Cala En Forcat, a delightfully picturesque and lively resort on the outskirts of the Ciutadella de Menorca. Situated a short two minute stroll back from a small sandy cove, and less than a five minute stroll from the nearest restaurants, shops and minimarkets, this is the perfect villa for families wishing to completely relax without having to think about having to drive to the local amenities.
The villa itself is exceptionally comfortable and well appointed, boasting four spacious bedrooms with air conditioning, a large open plan living space and a fully equipped kitchen.
The exteriors are equally appealing with a large private swimming pool with steps access, making it easy for both the young and less competent swimmers in the family to utilise this fine facility to the full. Another wonderful feature of this rather splendid villa is the small children’s pool, making this the perfect choice for families with young children. The mature and colourful gardens create excellent levels of privacy and some welcoming natural shaded areas, where better to relax with a good book and a glass of chilled wine during the hottest parts of the day.
For groups travelling together, Villas Raquel Blanes, Karoline, Elizabet and Ingrid are conveniently located on the same street, ideal for the big family holiday reunion, yet with a certain degree of privacy in your own individual villas.
**There is a fixed stairgate at the top of the stairs to the bedroom**
**The childrens pool is fenced off from the main pool**

We were very happy with our stay at Villa Sofia, which is in a great location only a short walk away from the local town and nearest cove. Whist we found some of the villa’s interior a little tired and in need of updating, the pool was brilliant and where we spent most of our time! The Villa itself is very private and secure, perfect for a family holiday.

Fantastic villa, short of nothing, very well l equipped. One small negative is that it would have been nice to have a stair gate at the bottom of the stairs as well as the top but other than that excellent. First class customer service. Will thoroughly recommend to friends and will definitely use Solmar again.

Villa Sofia is in a great location, only a few minutes walk from all amenities and the beach. Villa Sofia is a traditional villa with large rooms and plenty of outside space. The pool was really warm (in September) and there is also a nice little baby pool. The resort is very family friendly and has everything you need.

Once the villa had been cleaned, which it hadn't on our arrival (we did arrive early to be fair though!) it was immaculate! It's a really nice villa, very well equipped (pool could be a little bigger) in a really good location only a few minutes walk to the water park, a supermarket, restaurants and bars. Opposite the villa there is a path which takes you down to the beach. The resort itself is very much family orientated with an abundance of play areas etc for younger children but also some nice places to eat for couples although the food is pretty much of a muchness everywhere you go! Must just say that Fran who was our contact in the resort was amazing, nothing was too much trouble, she even came to find us while we were out having lunch to bring a spare key we'd asked for which she didn't have to do but as I said nothing was too much trouble, she was a great ambassador for Solmar Villas!

Villa Sofia is a nice spacious villa in a great location. The swimming pool was great and was used daily. Will definitely consider booking again in the near future. Only small negative is the lack of equipment in the kitchen (had to buy a corkscrew as none were provided)

Overall we enjoyed our stay at the villa. It?s a very good location for beaches, shops and restaurants. Although two of the three supermarkets had closed and a lot of the restaurants had closed (last week in October). The villa was clean and everything worked. The description on the website is accurate.

The lovely villa was spacious, well looked after and located in a quiet spot with only a short stroll to the resort centre or the small beach. The pool kept everyone entertained. The resort had numerous restaurants and would recommend the Yuca Grill and the Dragon Chinese restaurants. It was geared around families offering bouncy castles at a lot of the restaurants, ok for the kids but not particularly upmarket. We missed having a promenade or marina to stroll round but thats just our personal choice. There was a well stocked supermarket 2 minute walk from the villa, perfect for us as we had no car. All in all a good family holiday.

I have only ticked good, because I feel like it needs bringing up to date, everything is dark and dated and the pool could benefit from a pool cover. the resort is very good for all age groups, had a 3 year old he loved it

Rated Excellent. The Villa looked better in real life than the actual pictures on the website! The furnishings were very nice and everything was spotless. My 5 year old daughter loved the pool. And we had a couple of bbq's too which was great. We had an amazing time and we definitely will be coming back.

The villa was fantastic. we were extremely pleased with the facilities, location and cleanliness of the villa. The transfers were fantastic and the car seat was provided as requested. We received all the essentials apart from the bottle of water but were very grateful for the items. We did get left a bottle of wine instead so can't complain! I would thoroughly recommend the villa and resort to families as there are all the creature comforts you would need right on your doorstep.

Mrs Amella,
We have just arrived home from a lovely weeks stay at the Villa Sofia in Cal en'Forcat, Menorca. We found the villa exactly as described on the website - close to the cove and easy walking distance to the resort which was perfect for young children as most restaurants had play areas attached. The villa is set in a quiet cul-de-sac which was ideal as we had three young children who like to sleep early evening. It has three bathrooms which are very useful as a party of seven. It was reassuring to have contact details for a representative of Solmar to hand and was extremely useful when we realised on our return journey we had left some house keys behind. We contacted Bev immediately and she assured me that she would locate the keys and get them to the airport before we left. This was a huge relief at a stressful time. I cant thank Bev enough for returning the keys to us, she was a star! Many thanks
