Hotel Jardí de Ses Bruixes

The house is built on land that used to belong to the Catholic Church .Towards the 1800’s the Catholic Church parcelled the land and sold what had been cemeteries and land of their ownership in order to obtain money to renew the Santa Maria Church of Mahón, situated next to the town hall. The San Fernando street was opened in the year 1802 and this house was built in the year 1811 by order of the sea captain Francisco de la Torra, who had the tower built, with the aim of controlling the mouth of the port and to see the boats that entered it.

In less than a year, the house changed hands to the Mercadal family, a bourgeois family of Mahón. They lived in the house for various generations during a century, until, in the year 1911, and after the crack of the Mahón bank, the family was forced to sell the house.
. The new buyer was Mr Sebastián Sapiña Femenies, cousin of Mr Francesc Femenías Fábregues, Menorca’s first architect, also author of the modernist fish markets of Mahón and Ciutadella, and many other emblematic buildings of the island. Femenies graduated as an architect in Barcelona, around 1902, the boom period of the Catalan Modernism. Femenies conducted the refurbishing of the building commissioned by his cousin Mr. Sebastián, during this period the modernist dining room was built, the service area was connected to the house by a corridor built in one of the sides of the courtyard, and the decorative elements of both the courtyard and the building’s façade were done (cornices and frieze of the flowered tiles). The Sapiña family lived another 100 years in the house, and it was in the 90’s when Nando Pons, architect, bought the house in ruins, put it together again and installed his architecture studio in it. Towards the year 2013 we decided to turn the house into a charming Hotel and after a year of building work, we opened our doors to the public on the 1st of April of 2014 with a great inauguration party.

Either in the courtyard or in the modernist dining room, Sol, our chef, offers a market cuisine prepared with love, using old family recipes that she has reinterpreted throughout her career and also thanks to collaborations with other recognized chefs of the island (Reme Benavent – Villa Madrid, Carl Borg – Andaira, Pilar Pons – Sa Vinya, Vicent Vila – Es Molí de Foc).
