Lets all move to Menorca inspired by Italo Calvinos book "Invisible Cities", the entire hotels interior design is based on it. Also available the corner house next door.
Pardon mechatters, short review for those who haven't read Invisible Cities , it describes dialogues between Marco Polo, the Venetian traveler, and Kublai Khan, the oriental emperor.

Invisible Cities is one of my favorite books. I can still remember the wonder I felt the first time I read it.

I’d love to just visit it. I love Invisible Cities too, & re-read it just a few weeks ago.

dabitch & omiewise: did you catch this recentish Mefi thread which mentions this hotel (among other things)?

matteo, what's this about using the canals in Milan for something recently?

augh, that lovely corner house is very decently priced. I couldn't get a three room apartment around here for that price! *cries*
