Menorcan Mediterranean Magic

A unique villa set in a 250-acre estate on the beautiful tiny Mediterranean island of Menorca. The beautiful beaches, stunning turquoise waters and a sophisticated vibe have left their mark on many a traveler with Madrid & Beyond.

This property can make a Mediterranean dream come true. Its many charms include an infinity swimming pool, sweeping countryside and sea views, vineyard walks, and a private solarium. 12 rooms can accommodate up to 24 adults for exclusive use, including butler service, a private chef, and special spa treatments.

From the owners: “For us the most important thing is to make our clients feel at home, creating unique experiences within our hundreds of hectares of pure nature and the centuries-old walls. Madrid & Beyond are our perfect allies, the “chosen family”; as we both share the hope and goal of unforgettable memories for our customers.”

Nestled in Nature

If you’re looking for total privacy in the middle of nature, this 11-bedroom 19th-century palace is a fabulous option. It’s located on a huge pasture of ancient oak trees between cattle farms and game reserves in the heart of Extremadura, one of Spain’s most unspoilt regions.

Bordered to the west by Portugal and to the north and south by mountain ranges, Extremadura is one of Spain’s best-kept secrets – a land rich in history, architectural splendor and natural beauty. It’s a perfect area for those who like exploring remote river valleys, old-fashioned villages, narrow roads, and mountain paths.

The palace combines the quality service of a luxury hotel – your own Cordon Bleu chef for example – with the intimacy of your own home. Day trips allow you to step back in time – visit the country’s finest Roman ruins at Mérida or the Medieval towns of Cáceres and Trujillo, or enjoy beautiful, sparsely populated landscapes including mountain ranges and national parks. You’ll find it within easy reach of World Heritage cities such as Toledo and Salamanca as well as transport hubs, Madrid and Lisbon.

From the owners: “We welcome you to our house, a small paradise in the middle of the Extremadura prairie, a very special palace recently restored in the middle of an emblematic farm of holm and cork oaks. A unique natural environment with the spectacular Monfragüe National Park just a few minutes away.”

Basque Tradition

For those thinking of a private villa in northern Spain this summer, we recommend this typical five-bedroom Basque farmhouse situated in the unbeatable setting on the slopes of Mount Jaizkibel, dominating Txingudi Bay overlooking Biarritz and with the Bidasoa River at its feet. Surrounded by trees and animals, the 66-acre property is just a five-minute drive from San Sebastian’s airport and a 20-minute drive from the city itself. Private chef and other staff all available.

Madrid & Beyond is renowned for its outstanding partners in the Basque region and can arrange a whole series of activities, including hiking, road or mountain biking, surf lessons, wine excursions to Rioja – Spain’s best-known wine region – and a whole array of foodie experiences that can be enjoyed “on the road” or brought to your private villa.
