Guest Reviews
- Jonathan (4/5): - L’effetto rustico che si voleva creare uscito perfettamente avrei curato un po’ di piu’ perche’ sembrava un po’
Lasciata andare . Ok rustico ma trascurato non lo fa piu’ rustico Avevamo la stanza girasole dove aveva una finestra che affacciava sul bagno in comune e da dove arrivava tutta l’umidita’ di doccie e gli odori del bagno arrivavano direttamente in camera se non chiudevamo la porta la gente che passava ci vedeva sul letto . Stanza che sapeva di umidita’ e lenzuola leggermente umide .
- stephanie (6/5): - Emplacement idéal. Nous étions que des francophones et se retrouver le matin ou le soir à discuter et à se donner nos conseils de visite était très sympa . La propriétaire est sympathique . Frigo à disposition, oeufs de la ferme à disposition Notre chambre était vraiment petite, la propreté laisse à désirer. Salle de bain et cuisine dans un état moyen.
Certes nous aimons l'authentique mais la ferme pourrait être améliorée facilement, un peu de rangement permettrait un environnement plus agréable.
Le problème des chats est réel, il y en a au moins une dizaine et certains nous harcelaient dès que nous voulions manger. Et pourtant nous aimons les chats, poules et autres bestioles en tout genre!
Logement assez bruyant
- jean-marie (6/5): - La position centrale dans cette île,qui permet de rayonner N,S,E,O facilement. 2 choses :
1/ 3 chiens dont 2 très proches souvent attachés au pied de la porte des maîtres juste 10m au dessus du logement ; à 5 reprises j'ai signalé qu,ils aboyaient sans discontinuer pendant 1 à 2 h, jusqu'à 3,5 heures de 19h00 à 22h30 + supplément à 0h30-1hoo quand les maîtres sont revenus .
C'est incompatible avec cette proposition de gîte.
J'ai adressé plusieurs SMS à Manuela pour signaler et demander instamment de prendre la mesure nécessaire pour faire taire ces chiens. J'ai 1 gros chien depuis 11 ans,je peux dire que ces chiens aboyaient en continu par souffrance d'être attachés seuls à l'extérieur pendant l'absence des maitres, ce n 'etait pas par instinct de chien de garde ! Manuela m'a répondu être débordée et qu'elle prendrait la mesure nécessaire ; ça a recommencé le lendemain soir !....
Si rien n'est annoncé à Booking pour arrêter cela définitivement, je demande le déclassement de cette offre de gîte, c'est non tolérable ni acceptable.
2/ Manuela nous a attribué le studio en raison de notre séjour long 15j au lieu d'une chambre dans l'espace collectif. Néanmoins, ce studio était notoirement sous-equipé avec du matériel Eco dépareillé et dégradé : cafetière italienne sans poignée inapte au service, marmite de récupération sans poignées ( bonjour la manipulation sans se brûler), juste 2 verres pour un studio 4p, 1 mug pour 2, vaisselle 1er prix dépareillée, etc.....
Nous sommes allés '' compléter '' la dotation en puisant dans le logement collectif....
Lit 2p avec matelas à ressorts, bruyant et bien peu confortable ; 1 petite lampe pour 2, éclairage sommaire ( 2 ampoules grillées pendant le séjour)...
C'est annoncé comme une fermé et établissement agrotourisme : oui.
- Clémentine (9/5): -
- Arlette (8/5): - La décoration et toutes les plantes et les nombreuses boutures.La propriétaire est une artiste t elle est très discrète . C'est la ferme avec l'avantage d'être près de caldena et de ferreries il manque un peu d'ustensiles de cuisine,
- Anna (10/5): Tranquilidad en Menorca - Me gustó mucho la casa. Rural, muy bonita, llena de flores, plantas, atrapa-sueños, pinturas... muchos detalles. Un lugar tranquilo, muy hippie. Manuela, la propietaria, encantadora y atenta. Igual que su pareja, que se ocupaba de los animales y el exterior de la finca.
Al irnos, Manuela, nos regaló un atrapa-sueños hecho por ella. Un detalle muy bonito hecho con ramas y plumas de la finca.
Gracias Manuela, un abrazo! Lo que mejoraría, pero no se estaba mal, son los colchones. Pero por decir algo, dormimos muy bien.
- Ireneliso (10/5): - Tranquilidad y cercanía de todo. En contacto con. La naturaleza Que este el acceso un poco difícil, en medio de la carretera, tiene la entrada algo peligrosa
- marc (6/5): - Logement sur commune centrale de l'île qui permet de naviguer d'est en ouest facilement. Manuela, qui s'occupe des logements est très sympa et à l'écoute des touristes Le manque d'informations sur le logement sur le site de Booking. Rien n'indique hormis les commentaires que le logement se situe sur une ferme en agrotourisme
- belinda (9/5): Absolutey wonderful - Es Barranco is just so delightful and Manuela and her family could not be lovelier and more helpful. Very genuine and warm people. Manuela had also decorated the property with personal artwork which is toally charming - all the rooms bearing the name of a particular flower and being decorated accordingly . (Mine was "los girasoles" - Sunflowers) . The house is about 3 km from the coast. There are buses that run quite regularly, although in fact I chose to walk. If choosing this option just be aware the first 3/4 of the walk is along quite a busy road - though with space enough to walk safely at the side - but then, after the turning to Cala Mitjana you can continue off road on a lovely cool and shady walk through pine forest down to either Cala Mitjana (left) or Cala Galdana (straight on). Manuela is super generous and provides free eggs from the chickens on the farm for your breakfast. I loved that it was a real farm, and that the animals were around to be seen. It was absolutley glorious, coming from the hubbub inner city London to this tranquil setting. It feels mean to name any dislikes as I so loved Manuela ! - but I know it can be hepful for other guests. So, just to point out, my room had a window only on to a little corridor, not to the outside, which just meant it was hard to cool the room down at night, even when the temperature dropped outside. There is a fan though so it wasn't really a problem. Also I would just put in a request for a new frying pan - current ones getting a little worse for wear ; )
- EDNA YOSMAR (9/5): Gran experiencia de Agroturismo - Lo que mas me gusto es el trato de la anfitriona, Manuela es excelente persona, ella y su familia son lindas personas, viajé con mi hija que tiene discapacidad intelectual e hicieron que su experiencia con los animales y el entorno fuera muy agradable. Siempre atenta a lo que necesitáramos. Muy agradecida con ellos. Por poner una pega, quizás hay muchas cosas que se podían poner en otro sitio que no esté a la vista. Es un espacio con muchas posibilidades.
- Lia (10/5): -
- Ainhoa (1/5): Un sitio al que no volver - Que por suerte solo cogimos una noche Para empezar el tener que bajarte abrir la puerta meter el coche y volver a cerrar la puerta, acto seguido entras a un "aparcamiento"(por decir algo)en el que tienes que ir esquivando piedras bastante considerables con las que puedes romper el coche.
Llegamos por la noche y el camino no está iluminado por lo que tuvimos que ir alumbrando con la linterna del móvil hasta la casa mientras esquivábamos excrementos de animales ! Estamos de acuerdo que es un entorno rural pero no es excusa para tenerlo todo un poco limpio; por no hablar de que los gatos tampoco tenían un buen aspecto.
La casa por dentro deja muchísimo que desear, no nos sentimos nada cómodos, humedad, mucha falta de limpieza, telarañas por todos sitios, paredes que se desconchan... Por no hablar de que las sabanas no tenían para nada olor a recién lavadas.
Había mosquiteras pero aun así estaba todo lleno de mosquitos . No entiendo cómo un sitio con estás condiciones puede estar abierto al público.
En fin, una casa muy vieja y además descuidada ,encima su precio tampoco es barato.
Habríamos agradecido leer un comentario así de real para poder evitarlo.
Muy mala experiencia
- Marc (8/5): -
- delphine (9/5): Dépaysement, détente et accueil chaleureux - Ce n est pas un hôtel 5⭐️ mais une ferme 5⭐️
Idéalement placé au centre de l ile, à 6min en voiture de la plage la plus proche.
Chat chien vache cochon cheval poule, tellement dépaysant pour ceux qui aime les animaux, au calme de l agitation des villes.
Manuelle est adorable et très serviable quand il est nécessaire.
De la simplicité et de la détente à Minorque c est tout ce que nous souhaitions..
Un parking privatif à l entrée de la ferme à plusieurs mètres des chambres pour éviter le bruit.(personnellement nous avons opté pour le scooter et toute l île était accessible ) Que notre séjour soit si court (6 nuits) nous serions bien resté encore 😁

- Laura (6/5): -
- elena (10/5): Comodidad y armonia - La ubicación es excelente estás en medio de la isla. Estarás rodeado de animales de granja en un ambiente rustico y tranquilo
- Francesca (7/5): - Luogo perfetto per chi ama la natura e gli animali. È al centro dell'isola.Proprietari gentilissimi.
- Wieslawa (4/5): I don’t know where all the good reviews come from, but most of them are surely not honest - Very good location, grapes in front of the house, each room has its own designated cupboard in the kitchen labeled with the room's name We arrived late, around 10:30 PM, and were devastated by the assigned room. Although we knew it was an old building, the standard was much lower than expected, especially compared to the photos. The walls were crumbling, the room smelled of dampness, and the bedding and blankets were soaked in the odor. The window faced the corridor, so there was no fresh air. I didn’t sleep at all. The room was in desperate need of renovation, including furniture and chairs.
In the morning, we requested a room change. Our belongings were left behind and later moved to a much better room, which became available when other guests left. The new room was much better, although the pillows in both rooms we stayed in were saturated with sweat—sometimes changing the bedding isn’t enough; the pillows also need proper cleaning. If we hadn’t been moved, we would have sought alternative accommodation or returned home early.
Another issue was the water, which was extremely chlorinated. After seven minutes in the shower, my hands were wrinkled like after an hour in a public pool, and the chlorine smell lingered even after washing dishes.
I’m not a city person—I come from a small village and was excited about staying on a farm—but I would not return even for a single day.

- Anaïs (10/5): Séjour au vert qui fait du bien - Nous avons adoré notre semaine passé dans cette ferme, Andrea est agréable et accueillante (elle a fait l’effort de nous parler français). Le logement est au milieu de nul part, au calme et assez central sur île donc idéal pour visiter toute l’île (max 45 minute de voiture pour rejoindre port Mahon qui est la ville la plus lointaine je crois). La cuisine est bien équipée. Il y a deux salles de bain pour 5 chambres donc nous n’avons pas attendu pour utiliser les sanitaires. On recommande pour ceux qui cherchent des logements typiques et conviviaux (proche des personnes qui logent avec nous et des animaux).
- Rocio (10/5): Viaje para repetir 😊 - Los animales y entorno rural me encantó muy bonito aparte si vas en coche todo es cerca 😊
- Nascimento de jesus (9/5): relaxante -
- FABRIZIO (7/5): Settimana a Minorca - Posizione per raggiungere le spiagge avendo l'auto molto comoda. Uso ed organizzazione della cucina. Parcheggio interno. Ambiente esterno un po' trascurato.
- Bertrand (4/5): sejour spartiate dans une ferme hors du temps - bon acceuil et bon emplacement propreté, environnement trop rustique. Equipement limité
- Guest (9/5): -
- Veronica (8/5): Very good -
- Alex (10/5): Fabulous! A beautiful finca and wonderful hostess. - Manuela is lovely and an extremely warm and welcoming hostess of this fantastic, clean, homely finca with a cosy kitchen and basics such as tea and coffee.
Moreover, every room is a delight because Manuela, the artist, has decorated and painted each room in a very colourful, unique way.
It's a very happy home where you can relax in the kitchen or on the patio outside.
Es Barranco is a small farm/finca with cows, pigs, chickens and mischievous cats.
It is also only a short bus ride from Cala Galdana.
We hope to return someday and recommend Es Barranco to all!

- Iñigo (9/5): Superb -
- Ashley (8/5): Very good -
- Giacomo (9/5): Magical! - The atmosphere was amazing. Unique setting in a farm surrounded by animals and peacefulness. The rooms are basic but more than good enough, kitchen facilities are ideal and the bathrooms were kept very clean daily! Our room specifically had a window that didn't look out into the garden, but I think it was the only one.
- Linda (10/5): Brillant - everything about this finca was great a warm welcome pretty room and comfy bed,lovely hot showers and everything you needed in the kitchen.Loved all the animals there and about a 5 minute drive to beautiful Cala Galdana .Would highly recomend
- Ana (8/5): Very good -
- Gemma (10/5): Simply wonderful - A wonderfully tranquil spot, a real rural idyll, with kind and generous hosts, lots of friendly creatures and creative touches. A perfect place to really relax and unwind, a home away from home.
- Faith (10/5): So worth the stay! - Easily the homiest Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at. Gorgeous, serene, so sorry comfortable! Just make sure you’ve rented a car to make the most of it.
- Seoid (9/5): Superb -
- Meade (8/5): Very good -
- Lucie (7/5): Good - The room was very good, the place is a nice farm it was not pleasant to hear the owner shouting at his family or employee. Also I was contacted after my stay because of problems with the room paiement from booking. Organisation could have been better.
- Cintia (9/5): Superb - Manuela was very welcoming! The room is simple but offered everything we need! The shower was good and we loved the dogs! We will definitely be back!
- Aurora (8/5): During our stay we fell in love with this place. - the owner was nice and the fact we were surrounded by animals made it more special and the bed was comfortable. It was hot and there was no air conditioning.
- Sam (9/5): Great stay, friendly host. Would recommend and book there if I was to visit again. -
- Ziggy (9/5): Beautiful well located farm house - beautiful old finca. lovely people, lovely animals.
- Paula_ (8/5): Sunsets and beaches - We really enjoyed our stay there. We saw amazing sunsets and there were beautiful beaches in its surroundings. There was also a very confident environment, the staff was very nice. We didn’t like the difficulties to get there by bus, we had to walk ten minutes on the road next to the cars. It was. little bit dangerous to walk there at certain hours. And the facilities weren’t as clean as we expected.
- Juliette (10/5): A rejuvenating stay, very charming accommodation, an ideal vacation! - We did not stay in Es Barranco but in Bini-Said. It was a very charming agroturismo, with every facility we needed (kitchen, beautiful and spatious outdoors, AC, pool). Manuela is amazing - she made us feel home and showed us great availability!
- Oscar (9/5): Superb -
- Michalina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Samuele (10/5): Exceptional -
- Hannah (10/5): Lovely place to stay! - The farmhouse is in a great location with superb facilities. There are nice outdoor areas to sit, big bedrooms and the bathrooms and kitchen were very clean and well equipped. Lovely decoration throughout it all, and of course the very cute animals all around! Manuela was an exceptional host and it was a pleasure to stay here. I highly recommend if you like nature, animals and rustic charm!
- Julia (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful vibe. The host is very sweet and does everything on her hand to make you feel home. We loved our room and the company of the pets!. All shared services are very convenient and equipped. Perfect location next to everything but also very quiet.
- Rakos (10/5): It was really unique experience. If I ever came back to Menorca, would definitelly book here again. - I loved all the animals on the site, it was so cool for animal lovers. Also location is one of the best you can get, close to best beaches on the island. With all sorts of animals come all sorts of bugs and mosquitos. :-)
- Mustafa (6/5): Beautiful place, but needs cleaning! - The place is lovely and surrounded by nature. Beautiful decor and painting.
Manuela was responsive.
A very nice seating area on the back, among vine trees, but very dirty. Cleanliness is very bad. Bathroom was not clean and it doesn't look like it gets cleaned regularly or between guests. Same for kitchen.
- Clara (3/5): Poor - The owner seems nice and the location is really good. En general, everything was quite dirty and unhygienic. Lots of animals around and from my point of view not very well looked after.
- Maria (10/5): Exceptional - We had such a great stay at Es Barranco. The host was helpful, the room was big, location great and animals were cute! Thank you!
