Nestled in the heart of Llucmaçanes, a village on the island of Menorca that has remained true to its rural character, Casa de Pueblo embodies a thoughtful renovation. The house blends the island’s traditional architecture with decidedly contemporary comfort. Here, every renovation decision builds on what already exists rather than erasing the past. The result is captivating for its coherence and respect for the original materials. This 270sqm home is set around a 930sqm garden, a rare luxury right in the heart of the village.
With five bedrooms, each featuring a private bathroom, and a 30sqm pool, this home is designed for living with family or friends. We stepped inside this village home that harmoniously blends authenticity with a modern lifestyle.
From the moment you cross the threshold, the herringbone-patterned terracotta floors set the tone. The original wall niches, preserved and highlighted during the renovation, evoke the house’s agricultural past. Meticulously restored cement tiles sit alongside Marès stone and microcement. This juxtaposition tells the story of a renovation carried out with patience and ingenuity. A staircase framed by a traditional carved arch leads to the upper floors.
The main living area opens wide onto a fully equipped kitchen, finished in light wood and sand-colored ribbed tiles. The entire space faces the garden, serving as a natural extension of the interior. In winter, light streams deep into the house, warming the common areas.
In summer, the garden becomes the true living room, the true dining room, and the true kitchen. The large wooden picture windows slide open completely, opening the house onto the terrace. A green zellige table serves as the dining area beneath two imposing woven-fiber pendant lights, dyed a deep green that echoes the color of the outdoor furniture.
Each bedroom has its own bathroom, offering true comfort for large families or groups of friends. The rattan headboards add a handcrafted touch to each room. The floral cement tile floors vary from one bedroom to the next, creating distinct atmospheres.
Its bathrooms follow this same principle, featuring handcrafted tiles paired with contemporary matte black fixtures. The arched openings between the bedrooms and bathrooms echo the island’s architectural style.
The beautiful garden is surprisingly spacious for a village home. Dry-stone walls delineate distinct spaces, separating the relaxation area from the pool area. Centuries-old olive trees and prickly pear cacti dot the landscape with their Mediterranean silhouettes.
The pool, clad in emerald-green mosaic, blends seamlessly into the surrounding rocky landscape and stretches out in a long, narrow shape beneath the shade of the trees. White lounge chairs and a parasol complete this summer scene.
Casa de Pueblo charms with its understated, laid-back decor, perfect for a vacation home where you’d happily settle in year-round. The owners have prioritized the authenticity of natural materials. The crinkled linen of the sofas, the rattan of the light fixtures, and the local volcanic stone come together in perfect harmony. Its chosen colors are almost neutral, ranging from ochre to sage green and lime white, mirroring Menorca’s traditional color palette.
We particularly appreciate the use of plant-fiber pendant lights, which instantly add warmth to the white spaces. The decision to preserve the original niches and vaulted ceilings is also an excellent choice. The kitchen is simple and functional. This home proves that a successful renovation relies on a measured approach and respect for the existing structure, combined with understated decor.
There’s a familiar feel to this home. The ochre and white color palette, the vaulted niches, and the rattan furniture are reminiscent of certain Provençal farmhouses. Menorca shares with the south of France a taste for raw materials and a respect for architectural traditions.
The house is located in Llucmaçanes, just a few kilometers from Mahón, the island’s capital. Unlike the seaside resorts that are very crowded in the summer, this village is lively all year round. The white-washed narrow streets, chalk-washed facades, and painted shutters preserve the authentic character of a setting typical of the island.
Menorca, designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, is known for a more laid-back tourism scene than its neighbors Mallorca and Ibiza. Fine-sand beaches, such as Cala Mesquida and Cala en Porter, are plentiful on the island. The inland area also offers numerous hiking trails, notably the famous Camí de Cavalls, which circles the entire island. Nearby Mahón boasts a unique culinary identity, featuring aged local cheese and Xoriguer gin, distilled according to a tradition inherited from the British occupation. Casa de Pueblo takes full advantage of this rare balance between village life and access to the surrounding natural environment.
