Ciutadella
A serene 18th-century mansion, planted in grounds of wild olive trees, Sant Ignasi lies tucked away in the countryside 4km northeast of Ciutadella. Each of the 25 rooms is individually designed with updated yet charmingly rustic style. Gran Suites overlook the pool, and there's a first-class Spanish-Menorcan restaurant. Excellent value in April, May and October, when rates drop significantly.
It's signposted off the RC1 Ciutadella–Cala Morell road, 2.5km northeast of town.
