Apartamentos Casa Romantica

About Apartamentos Casa Romantica

Apartamentos Casa Romantica suits travellers who prefer independent accommodation on Formentera. The apartments and villa-style units come with kitchenettes, a salt-water outdoor pool and a garden. This is a practical base for those who want to cook, park for free and explore the island by bike or car rather than rely on hotel restaurants and bars.

The property is not rated with stars and has no guest score listed. It is a straightforward, self-contained option for couples or small families who value space and a quiet location. The listed facilities include air conditioning, free wifi, a washing machine, dishwasher and a terrace. Guests should confirm the exact layout and number of bedrooms with the property before booking.

Location: La Savina

Apartamentos Casa Romantica sits on the Carretera La Savina Portossaler, 1.7 km in a straight line from La Savina port and the Estany des Peix lagoon. La Savina is the arrival point for every ferry from Ibiza Town, a compact area with the port, a few shops and the calm lagoon where people paddle and kayak. The small capital Sant Francesc Xavier is 1.8 km away, with its fortified 18th-century church, a market and the island's main services.

In high summer, La Savina is busy with ferry traffic and day visitors arriving and leaving. The hotel's location on the road out of the port means it is slightly removed from the immediate bustle. From late autumn to early spring, the port is quieter and many beach bars and seasonal restaurants close; the island council caps visitor vehicles in summer, so checking the Consell de Formentera before hiring a car is wise.

Rooms and facilities

The accommodation is listed as apartments and villas with a kitchen or kitchenette, a living area with a sofa bed, a desk and a private terrace. Each unit has air conditioning, a safe, a TV, a hairdryer, an iron and board, and free wifi. The kitchen equipment includes a refrigerator, microwave, oven, dishwasher, coffee maker and washing machine. The outdoor salt-water pool and picnic area are shared among guests.

For families, the sofa bed and the self-catering kitchen offer flexibility for meal times and bedtimes. Late arrivals should note that the check-in time is not stated in the listing; guests must confirm arrival procedures with Apartamentos Casa Romantica directly. The property has non-smoking rooms and free car parking on site, which is useful for those arriving by hire car from the port.

Getting there

Formentera has no airport. You fly to Ibiza Airport (IBZ), which is about 7 km south-west of Ibiza Town. From the airport, take a bus or taxi to Ibiza Town port, then board a ferry to La Savina. Fast ferries take about 30-35 minutes; conventional ferries take about an hour. Sailings are frequent in summer and fewer in winter; check the ferry operators for current timetables.

From La Savina port, Apartamentos Casa Romantica is 1.7 km straight line – a short taxi ride or a 20-minute walk. The hotel offers free car parking, and a car rental service is listed on site. For getting around Formentera, bicycles and the signposted green routes (circuits verds) are popular; scooters and taxis are also available. The Consell de Formentera caps the number of visitor vehicles in high season, so check before bringing or hiring a car.

Then cycle 1.8 km to Sant Francesc Xavier to see the fortified church and browse the morning market. From there, continue 3.6 km to Es Pujols for a swim and lunch at a beachside spot.

In the afternoon, head to the Ses Illetes sand spit within Ses Salines Natural Park for clear water and a siesta on the sand. Late afternoon, return to the hotel's salt-water pool to cool off. As the sun lowers, drive or cycle to Cap de Barbaria lighthouse for the sunset, then back to La Savina for a simple dinner at one of the port's seasonal restaurants.

Practical tips

Much of Formentera's tourism business closes roughly from November to April; check with Apartamentos Casa Romantica for its exact opening dates. July and August are the peak months, with more people and higher demand. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the type of accommodation and season, is reduced in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the Govern de les Illes Balears site for current rates.
