we stayed here in june 2011 desperatly seeking a tranquil break from the hustle of work and busy lives. We were looking for an alternative to big chain hotels and bland buffet food.
We were cautiousof the thought of b&b although being frequent visitors to menorca spoke little spanish and loved the beaches of santa thomas, but we neednt have worried.
Everywhere on the island is little more than 30 minuets away by car.
Although close to the airport theres only a few flights and you dont hear them.
Breakfast was a delight and the owners and staff very friendly.
The room we stayed in was large and clean with a very comfortable bed and we were made to feel very welcome given the freedom to roam the farm at our ease.
the b&b was difficult to find though as signage is poor please put up a bigger sign.
The drive is also difficult to navigate in a hire car due to close trees and uneven surface especially as hire companies dont cover underside and tyres of cars.However it is very beautifull. If you do go drive to the very end of the drive to find the b&b and a warm welcome and a relaxing comfortable stay away from the hussle and bustle.
we cant wait to return and will be back later in the year.

We are just home having spent a week at the beautiful Matchani Gran. I can't rate this place highly enough- the rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated, the pool area and gardens are immaculately kept and an ideal space for relaxing in the sun. We had access to the bar and kitchen at all times. The breakfast was substantial, the scrambled eggs are highly recommended. The hosts, Yolanda and Lawrence couldn't have been more helpful- supplying us with baby stuff, helping us to rent a car and even providing us with food when we were stranded. The nearest town, Sant Clement, is only a few minutes drive away and has one of the best restaurants we have ever eaten at (Es moli de foc). The local beach is pure paradise and we ahd it to ourselves most days.A car is essential and we toured the island most days but were delighted to return to the comfort and peace of Matchani Gran in the evenings. Highly recommended to young and old alike.

We stood at Matchani Gran for 14 days in August and it was really a pleasant and quiet stay. You realize that the new Spanish managment has experience in the hotellerie. The country house is really beautiful and the rooms are very characteristic with nice ancient furniture but fantastic new viscoelastic mattresses. The breakfast is abundant and varied served under a beautiful patio by Cate, a "historic presence" at Matchani. The pool area is very comfortable with wide spaces and new deckchairs. Matchani Gran is in the countryside, so a car/motorcycle is needed, but the peace and the silence there, are fantastic (even if the airport is near). Once a week the owners prepare a tasty bbq for a very honest price! and you have even the possibility to cook by yourself. The town of Sant Climent is small, but is well served : you can find one of the best Minorca's restaurants "Moli de Foc" and a new one "Es Casino", supermarket, bakery, butcher etc. I would reccomend this hotel to everybody! Try it!

What you see on the website is what you get, wonderfull hosts and a tranquil setting. The rooms were immaculate and in keeping with local tradition. The house and gardens are lovely. Our hosts Shaun and Jenny were great and treated us as I`m sure they would like to be treated themselves. Shaun seemed to know when you wanted to be alone but was always on hand with a joke when you didn`t...nothing was too much trouble to them, from picking us up and dropping us at the airport, the welcome drinks and lunch...(totally unexpected) The advice on where and when to go... even an umbrella left at the door in the morning after a shower in the night.
As previous people have said Jens cooking is to die for...try the scrambled egg in the morning or the Lamb in the evening if she cooks.

I have no hesitation in recommending Matchani Gran to anyone who wants a little peace and nice surroundings with like minded people. We`ve never been anywhere twice but will be returning soon....Sorry Shaun!
I would recommend a car for part of your holiday at least, unless like us, you enjoy walking and buses.
