About the Property
We present a magnificent stately home to be renovated, located in the heart of the historic center of Ciutadella, on one of the city’s most emblematic streets. It has belonged to the Oleo family since the late 19th century, when Francesc Oleo Faner inherited it from his great-uncle, the French consul Faner Rosas, who died without descendants.

We present a magnificent stately home to be renovated, located in the heart of the historic center of Ciutadella, on one of the city’s most emblematic streets. It has belonged to the Oleo family since the late 19th century, when Francesc Oleo Faner inherited it from his great-uncle, the French consul Faner Rosas, who died without descendants. The house still retains furniture from the Menorcan polymath and notable son of Ciutadella, Josep Maria Quadrado, whose name is given to the street, and who was the godfather of the current owners’ grandfather.
Located in the old town of Ciutadella, it used to extend to the corner with Seminario Street, but in the 20th century, it was divided into two properties. It offers a privileged view during the Sant Joan festivities and has been an active part of the celebration for many years, hosting horses at its entrance during the caracol de ses Voltes. It offers a journey to the past with its authenticity and charm.
The 495 m² property is distributed over the first floor, second floor, and a rooftop terrace. On the first floor, it has several living rooms around a central staircase and a kitchen with access to a terrace. On the second floor are the rest of the rooms and a living room with access to another terrace with views of the city center. Ideal for those looking for a home with character and a cultural legacy in the heart of Ciutadella.
Carrer Josep Maria Quadrado sits at the core of Ciutadella’s historic old town, one of the most architecturally intact medieval city centres in the Balearic Islands. The street carries the name of the 19th-century Menorcan scholar and writer born here, and its character reflects that weight: wide stone facades, noble doorways, and a scale that speaks to centuries of civic and ecclesiastical life. The cathedral and the Plaça des Born are within a few minutes on foot.
Daily life here means walking to the Mercat Municipal on Plaça de la Llibertat for fresh produce, and having restaurants such as Es Tast de na Sílvia and Smoix within easy reach. The port promenade is a ten-minute walk. Cafés line the nearby Ses Voltes arcades. A car is not needed for most daily errands.
Ciutadella is connected to Maó, the island capital, by the Me-1 road, a drive of approximately 45 minutes. The ferry terminal in Ciutadella’s port offers regular crossings to Barcelona and Valencia, with journey times of around eight to nine hours by standard ferry. Menorca Airport, located near Maó, is roughly 50 kilometres away and operates direct flights to major European cities, with increased frequency during the summer season.

Our team will help you find the perfect home to retreat or to spend the holidays. Menorca is the least developed of the Balearic Islands with the most pristine beaches, it is a favourite of divers, astronomers and those seeking utter peace and calm. With the recently opened Hauser & Wirth Art Gallery on Isla del Rey, a small island just off the city of Mahon, as well as the boom in concept stores and boutique hotels, it has become a top destination for art and culture enthusiasts.
