Villa Menorca Serena CP

About Villa Menorca Serena CP

Villa Menorca Serena CP suits travellers who want a self‑catering base on the south coast of Menorca. The 3‑star apartment or villa is a short drive from the sandy cove of Cala en Porter and from the airport, making it a practical choice for a week or longer. Free car parking is listed, so guests with a hire car have a dedicated space.

The property is a straightforward holiday stay: no on‑site pool or restaurant is listed, so guests plan their own meals and beach trips. The location in a residential street gives independence, and the distances to the coast and to Maó mean that a car is useful for exploring the island.

Location: Cala en Porter

Cala en Porter is a deep sandy cove cut between high limestone cliffs, on Menorca's south‑east coast. The beach is 0.9 km straight line from Villa Menorca Serena CP, a short drive or a walk of about a kilometre along the road. The cove has a small cluster of shops and places to eat in summer, but the property stands on a quiet street away from the busiest part.

In high summer the cove fills early; July and August are the peak. In the shoulder months of May, June and September the atmosphere is calmer, and the water is warm enough for swimming from late May. A car is needed for most errands: the nearest village for a supermarket or a bakery is not listed, so guests should stock up on arrival. Maó, the capital, is 11.2 km straight line.

Rooms and facilities

Villa Menorca Serena CP is listed as an apartment or villa, which suggests a self‑contained unit with a kitchen or kitchenette. Free car parking is the only facility given, so guests should confirm with the property the number of bedrooms, the layout and whether linen and towels are provided. The 3‑star rating indicates a basic but comfortable standard.

Couples or small families will find the space adequate for a beach holiday. Late arrivals should check the check‑in procedure with the property in advance, as there is no reception desk. The address on Calle Stuart is a residential street, so parking is straightforward.
