Ca Na Montse

About Ca Na Montse

Ca Na Montse is a 3-star hotel in Ses Torretes, outside the main resort areas and close to Cala Morell on Menorca. It suits travellers who want a simple base in the north-west of the island, with Ciutadella 6.7 km away and the Naveta des Tudons 6.2 km away. The listed pool, parking and kitchen facilities point to a practical holiday rather than a full-service resort stay, and a car helps for the coves and Ciutadella.

Ca Na Montse is a three-star property with a straightforward, self-catering slant: the facilities include a kitchen, microwave, refrigerator, toaster and coffee making equipment, plus a washing machine and outdoor pool. It suits couples who prefer space and families who want simple meals, while non-smoking rooms, a lift and a safe cover the basics. Parking and free WiFi are listed, which helps travellers arriving by car or needing to stay connected.

Location: Ciutadella de Menorca

Ca Na Montse sits at Ses Torretes, near Cala Morell and outside Menorca's main resort areas. Cala Morell is the nearest village for orientation, while Ciutadella, the old capital with its cathedral, palaces and narrow port, is 6.7 km away. The Naveta des Tudons, a boat-shaped prehistoric tomb, is 6.2 km from the hotel, and Es Mercadal and Monte Toro are 19.2 km away. This is a corner of the island for travellers who want a calm base and are happy to use a car for beaches, towns and evening meals.

In high summer, the roads towards Ciutadella and the southern coves carry more traffic, so plan drives for the morning and keep the 6.7 km run to Ciutadella flexible. In the shoulder months, the same distances feel easier and the coast around Cala Morell is quieter. A car, bus or taxi is the practical choice for Ciutadella and the coves; walking is best kept to local lanes and the village area, with advice from Ca Na Montse on current paths.

Rooms and facilities

Facilities at Ca Na Montse are listed for practical self-catering stays. Couples can use the kitchen, microwave, refrigerator, toaster and coffee making equipment for light meals, and the outdoor pool and terrace for downtime. Families will note the cot, washing machine and non-smoking rooms, while the safe, hairdryer and fan cover everyday needs. Free WiFi, internet access and a TV are listed, and the lift helps with luggage. Confirm exact kitchen equipment and cot availability with the hotel before booking.

Late arrivals should arrange check-in and the shuttle service with Ca Na Montse in advance, because the hotel is outside the main resort and arrival times matter. Ask which parking area is used, whether the shuttle covers the airport or local runs, and how cleaning and laundry service are organised during the stay. The pool and terrace are listed, but opening times and seasonal use should be confirmed directly. These checks keep a simple 3-star stay predictable for couples and families.

Getting there

Menorca Airport (MAH) is 35.5 km straight line from Ca Na Montse, so plan on a taxi, a hire car or a pre-booked shuttle; the hotel lists a car rental service and a shuttle service, but the shuttle scope should be confirmed before travel. Buses from the airport run to Maó (Mahón) and, in summer, to resorts, with more lines in the warmer months. Check the island bus operator for current routes and times, then plan the final leg to Ses Torretes.

Maó (Mahón) port is 37.2 km straight line from Ca Na Montse, and Ciutadella is 6.7 km away, so arrivals by sea can choose the shorter final run from Ciutadella. Ferries connect Maó and Ciutadella with Barcelona, Ciutadella with Alcúdia on Mallorca, and Maó with Palma. Services thin out outside summer, so check operators before fixing a crossing. From either port, a hire car gives the most flexible approach to the hotel and the coast.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest village is Cala Morell, useful for orientation and a short coastal look, while the sandy south-coast coves are a drive away: Cala Turqueta is 13.3 km straight line and Cala Galdana 14.3 km. Ciutadella, 6.7 km away, has the old town, cathedral, palaces and narrow port. The Naveta des Tudons is 6.2 km from Ca Na Montse, an easy add-on to a Ciutadella outing. Parking at popular coves fills early in summer.

Menorca's food is part of the day out from Ca Na Montse. Look for caldereta de llagosta, the lobster stew associated with Fornells, and Mahón-Menorca cheese, which has protected designation of origin status. The island's British rule left a gin tradition in Maó (Mahón). For a simple plan, pair the Naveta des Tudons at 6.2 km with Ciutadella at 6.7 km, then return to Ses Torretes for an evening by the listed pool or terrace.

A day from Ca Na Montse

Begin with the Naveta des Tudons, 6.2 km from Ca Na Montse, before the day heats up and the site gets busier. Continue to Ciutadella, 6.7 km away, for the old town, cathedral and port, then return to the hotel for a swim in the listed pool and a simple kitchen lunch. Use a car, bus or taxi for these runs; the distances are short but not all are pleasant walks in summer.

In the afternoon, drive to the south coast: Cala Turqueta is 13.3 km straight line and Cala Galdana 14.3 km, and arriving early or using the bus is the usual advice for Cala Turqueta in season. Return to Ciutadella for the old town at dusk, 6.7 km from Ca Na Montse, when the port and lanes are cooler. End with a late meal or a drink back near Cala Morell, checking seasonal openings before setting out.

Practical tips

Many seasonal businesses on Menorca close roughly from November to April, and Ca Na Montse sits outside the main resort, so confirm the hotel's own opening dates before booking a winter or early-spring trip. Demand is highest in July and August, with quieter shoulder months around them. A stay at Ca Na Montse also carries the Balearic sustainable tourism tax, charged per person per night by the hotel; rates vary by accommodation type and season, with reductions for low season and longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the Govern de les Illes Balears for current rules.
