From Vicente Albertí to us,
the story

The stories that endure do so because they are special - and our house is most certainly special. It starts with its protagonist, Vicente Albertí Vidal. Its origins date back to the beginning of the 18th century, when the Albertí family was granted the privilege of nobility.

Vicente Diego Albertí Mercadal, our protagonist’s great-grandfather, was knighted, which gave him his own coat of arms, which to this day still presides over the balcony of our façade. He would be succeeded by generations of illustrious notaries, doctors and high military officials, who would give descent and origin to Vicente Albertí Vidal, a man rooted in literature. Master of several classical and other modern languages, he is one of Minorca’s most important literary figures, who also raised the Minorcan language to the status of a literary language.
