Casa Campo Menorca Xiscu

About Casa Campo Menorca Xiscu

Casa Campo Menorca Xiscu suits travellers who want the west of Menorca as a base. Ciutadella and its old town are 1.7 km away, Cala Turqueta is 10.9 km, and the Naveta des Tudons is 4.9 km inland. The address is Camino Retxilleres, outside the town, so a car makes the stay easier. Couples, small families and anyone who prefers apartment or villa space to a large resort fit the format well.

Casa Campo Menorca Xiscu is a three-star apartment or villa property rather than a full-service hotel, so the stay runs on your own terms. The listed facilities are car parking, free car parking, an outdoor pool and wheelchair accessibility. That combination works for couples who want quiet evenings, for families who need the car close by, and for guests who prefer to plan their own days. Three stars sets the expectation at the practical end, and the apartment or villa format gives you space for the length of the booking.

Location: Ciutadella

Ciutadella, the old capital of Menorca, is 1.7 km from Casa Campo Menorca Xiscu in a straight line. The town gives you a cathedral, the palaces of the old centre and a narrow port that opens west towards the sunset. At dusk the walls and the port are the reason to come into town, and Ciutadella stays open through the year rather than closing in November. That makes the address useful in spring and autumn as well as in high summer.

Distances from the property are straight-line figures. Cala Galdana is 13.3 km, Cala Turqueta 10.9 km and Es Mercadal below Monte Toro 21.7 km, so the southern coves and the centre of the island both call for a car, a taxi or a bus. Bus lines multiply in summer, so check the island bus operator for current routes. High summer fills the coast roads; May, June, September and October leave more room at the car parks and on the sand.

Rooms and facilities

The listed facilities set the tone. Car parking and free car parking mean the car stays close, an outdoor pool gives a break from the coast, and the property is listed as wheelchair accessible. Couples can use the pool between days out, families can unload at the door, and guests arriving on a late flight or ferry should agree arrival arrangements with Casa Campo Menorca Xiscu in advance.

Confirm the practical details with Casa Campo Menorca Xiscu before booking. Ask what the apartment or villa includes, whether the pool is open for your dates, and how the wheelchair-accessible access works in practice, including the bathroom and the route from the parking area. If you travel with more than one vehicle, ask about parking space, and give an arrival time if you land late at Menorca Airport.

Getting there

Menorca Airport (MAH) is 36.5 km from Casa Campo Menorca Xiscu in a straight line, at the opposite end of the island from Ciutadella. A hire car collected at the airport covers that distance and keeps the southern coves within reach for the rest of the stay. Taxis wait at the terminal, and summer bus lines serve Maó and the resorts, so check the island bus operator for routes that help at this address.

By sea, Maó port is 38.8 km from the property in a straight line, with overnight ferries to Barcelona and a link to Palma. Ciutadella, whose port sits below the old town 1.7 km away, has crossings to Alcúdia on Mallorca and to Barcelona. Winter brings fewer sailings and fewer flights, so plan around the dates you need and confirm the schedule with the operators.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Three sights sit within easy reach of the address. Ciutadella old town at dusk is 1.7 km away, the Naveta des Tudons, a boat-shaped prehistoric tomb, is 4.9 km, and Cala Turqueta is 10.9 km on the southern coast. Cala Galdana, 13.3 km away, is the other obvious cove on this side of Menorca. Car parks at the popular southern coves fill early and some have summer limits, so start out early.

Food is part of the reason to base on this side of Menorca. Caldereta de llagosta, the lobster stew, belongs to Fornells on the north coast; the cheese of Maó and Menorca has a protected designation of origin; and the long British period left a gin tradition in Maó. In Ciutadella, 1.7 km from Casa Campo Menorca Xiscu, the Sant Joan festival around 23 and 24 June brings horses and riders into the streets.

A day from Casa Campo Menorca Xiscu

Begin at the Naveta des Tudons, 4.9 km from Casa Campo Menorca Xiscu, before the day warms up. Drive south to Cala Turqueta, 10.9 km away, and arrive early: the car park fills in summer and vehicle limits can apply at the popular coves. Take water and food for the day. Cala Galdana, 13.3 km from the property, is the alternative if the smaller cove is full.

Come back for the pool in the afternoon, then head into Ciutadella for the evening, 1.7 km away. The cathedral, the palaces and the narrow port at dusk are the point of the old capital, and the centre stays active well outside the high season. Book a taxi for the return if you would rather leave the car at Casa Campo Menorca Xiscu.

Practical tips

Check opening dates with Casa Campo Menorca Xiscu before travelling, because much of Menorca's tourist business closes roughly from November to April while the towns stay open. The peak falls in July and August; May, June, September and October are easier for the coves and the Naveta des Tudons. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax, the ecotasa, is charged per person per night by the accommodation; rates vary with the type and category of accommodation and the season, are lower in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the Govern de les Illes Balears for current rates.
