Description: Sant Joan de Binissaida

Sant Joan de Binissaida is a rural manor house located on the Spanish Island of Minorca. References to this old farmhouse can be found in the earliest documents drafted by James II, a few years after the Catalan conquest of Minorca in 1287.

Today, Sant Joan de Binissaida is an operating rural property. It has 30.000 acres, half comprised of beautiful pine and wild olive trees, and the rest used for growing crops to feed both the large sheep herd and Retxa, the lovely black horse. The trees, the sheep, and the horse are all purebreds indigenous to Minorca.

The manor house, built in the 18th Century, has experienced many transformations throughout the years. Today, whilst keeping its traditional character, Sant Joan de Binissaida has all the services and facilities to make it an ideal place to stay and relax. This is what makes Sant Joan a high quality agro-tourism establishment. Enjoy the wonderful landscapes, listen to the marvellous silence and breathe the purest air in Minorca!
