Ses Talaies: sleeping among olive trees and tasting the soul of Menorca

Ses Talaies is an experience that brings together landscape, gastronomy and lifestyle. Located just outside Ciutadella, this family-run agrotourism combines charming accommodation with its own extra virgin olive oil production, offering food-focused travellers an authentic immersion into Menorca’s olive oil culture.

Since 2011, Juana Vilafranca and Pere Comellas have been caring for this estate with a clear philosophy: keeping the land alive and respected. Across four hectares, around 600 arbequina olive trees are cultivated organically, following a small-scale and conscious production model where quality always comes before quantity.

The olives are harvested by hand and pressed on the same day, a key factor that defines the final product. The resulting oil is fresh and elegant, with green fruit aromas, notes of tomato and artichoke, balanced bitterness and a gentle peppery finish. Tasting it where it is produced, surrounded by olive groves and silence, turns the visit into a truly memorable gastronomic experience.

The agrotourism completes the journey with just ten beautifully designed rooms, gardens, swimming pool and breakfasts made with local products and their own olive oil. A peaceful retreat designed for slow travellers and food lovers seeking the most authentic side of Menorca, where olive oil becomes a way of life.
