About Casa Menorca Sa Font

Casa Menorca Sa Font is an apartment or villa in Ciutadella, the old capital of Menorca. It suits travellers who want a self-catering base with a kitchen, air conditioning and free wifi, within walking distance of the old town. The property is not rated with stars and has no guest score, so expectations should be set by the facilities listed.

The stay is independent: guests manage their own days, cook in the kitchen and use the listed amenities such as the washing machine, dishwasher and microwave. With a cot and high chairs listed, it can work for families. The terrace and swimming pool are among the facilities, though the details are not specified, so confirm their exact nature with the property.

Location: Ciutadella

Casa Menorca Sa Font sits in Ciutadella, 0.5 km straight line from the old town. Ciutadella is the historic capital of Menorca, with a cathedral, palaces and a narrow port known for sunsets. The property is not on the beach; the nearest beach, Cala Turqueta, is 10 km straight line away, so a car or bus is needed for a day at the coast.

In July and August, Ciutadella is busy with visitors, and the old town can be crowded in the evenings. In the shoulder months of May, June, September and October, the pace is calmer, and many seasonal businesses close from roughly November to April. The hotel's opening dates should be checked directly, as the property may operate seasonally.

The rooms at Casa Menorca Sa Font are listed with air conditioning, free wifi, a TV, a safe and a hairdryer. The kitchen and kitchenette include a refrigerator, oven, microwave, toaster and dishwasher, which suits guests who prefer to cook.

Families are catered for with a cot and high chairs, and the property lists family rooms. Non-smoking rooms are available. For late arrivals, the check-in time is not given, so confirm arrangements with the property in advance. The facilities list includes a swimming pool, terrace and tennis court, but the exact layout and availability should be confirmed before booking.

Getting there

Menorca Airport (MAH) is 36.1 km straight line from Casa Menorca Sa Font. A taxi is the direct option, or a hire car gives flexibility for exploring the island. Buses run from the airport to Maó and, in summer, to some resorts, but a connection to Ciutadella may require a change; check the island bus operator for current routes and timetables.

Maó port is 38.5 km straight line away, so ferry arrivals from Barcelona or Palma will need a taxi, bus or hire car to reach the property. Ciutadella itself is just 0.5 km away, so once in the town, the old centre is walkable. In winter, flights and ferries are fewer, and some bus lines stop, so plan transport accordingly.

For a day out, the Camí de Cavalls, the 185 km coastal path, passes near many of the island's coves, and the south coast beaches are within a short drive.

A day from Casa Menorca Sa Font

After a swim, return towards Ciutadella and stop at the Naveta des Tudons, 4.7 km from the property, to see the prehistoric tomb.

In the late afternoon, walk the 0.5 km into Ciutadella old town. Explore the cathedral and the narrow streets of palaces, then head to the port for sunset, as the area is known for its evening light.
