Casa Sant Pere

About Casa Sant Pere

Casa Sant Pere is an apartment in the west of Menorca, in Ciutadella. It suits travellers who want a self-catering base in a historic town rather than a resort complex. The property is not rated with stars, and no guest score is listed. The accommodation provides a kitchen, a washing machine and free Wi-Fi, which makes it practical for longer stays or for families who prefer to cook.

The apartment is set on Carrer San Pere, a short walk from Ciutadella's old centre. The town has a cathedral, palaces and a narrow port known for sunsets. Staying here means being inside the old capital, with restaurants, shops and the harbour close by. The property is not on the beachfront; the nearest coast is within the town, and the southern coves are a drive away.

Location: Ciutadella

Casa Sant Pere is in Ciutadella, the old capital of Menorca, in the west of the island. The town centre is 0.2 km away in a straight line, so the cathedral, the port and the main squares are within easy walking distance. The apartment's address on Carrer San Pere places it in a residential street, quiet enough for a rest but close to the life of the town.

Menorca Airport (MAH) is 35.9 km away in a straight line, and Maó port is 38.3 km away. A hire car is useful for exploring the island, though Ciutadella itself is walkable. The southern coves, such as Cala Turqueta at 9.7 km, are best reached by car or summer bus. In July and August, car parks at the popular coves fill early. In the shoulder months of May, June, September and October, the town is calmer and the weather is still warm.

Rooms and facilities

The apartment is listed with air conditioning, free Wi-Fi and a kitchen with a refrigerator, oven, microwave and toaster. There is a washing machine, an iron and board, and a hairdryer. A cot is available, and family rooms are listed, so the property can accommodate children. The rooms include a TV, a DVD player and a radio, and a safe is provided for valuables.

Smoke detectors and first aid equipment are listed, which adds a layer of safety. Housekeeping and laundry services are available, and luggage storage is offered. The property has a terrace, though its size and orientation are not specified. Guests arriving late should confirm check-in arrangements with the property, as reception hours are not listed. The kitchen allows self-catering, which suits longer stays or those who want to eat in.

Getting there

From Menorca Airport (MAH), Casa Sant Pere is about 35.9 km away in a straight line. A taxi is the most direct option, or a hire car can be collected at the airport. Buses run to Ciutadella from the airport, but services are more frequent in summer; check the island bus operator for current timetables. The journey takes around 40 minutes by car, depending on traffic.

If arriving by ferry, Maó port is 38.3 km away in a straight line, and Ciutadella also has a port with connections to Mallorca and Barcelona in season. From Maó, a taxi or a hire car is needed to reach the apartment. In winter, flights and ferries are fewer, so plan accordingly. The apartment's location in Ciutadella means that once there, most of the town is on foot.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Ciutadella old town is 0.2 km away, with its cathedral, palaces and a port that is lively at dusk. The Naveta des Tudons, a boat-shaped prehistoric tomb, is 4.5 km away and is a short drive. Cala Turqueta, a white-sand cove on the south coast, is 9.7 km away; arrive early in summer or take a bus, as car parks fill. Cala Galdana, another southern cove, is 12.4 km away.

The island's food includes Mahón-Menorca cheese, which has a protected designation of origin, and caldereta de llagosta, a lobster stew from Fornells on the north coast. Ciutadella has many restaurants and bars, though the apartment's kitchen offers an alternative. The Camí de Cavalls, a coastal bridleway of about 185 km, passes near the town, so walking is possible without a car.

A day from Casa Sant Pere

Start the day with breakfast in the apartment's kitchen, using the refrigerator and toaster. Walk the 0.2 km into Ciutadella's old town to see the cathedral and the palaces before the heat builds. In the morning, drive to Cala Turqueta, 9.7 km away, to swim in clear water; arrive early to find parking. Or visit the Naveta des Tudons, 4.5 km away, to see the prehistoric tomb.

In the afternoon, return to Ciutadella for lunch at a café near the port. Spend the late afternoon exploring the narrow streets or resting at the apartment. As dusk falls, walk back to the port to watch the sunset, a tradition in Ciutadella. End the day with dinner at a local restaurant, or cook at home using the oven and microwave. The apartment's central location makes the day easy.

Practical tips

Much of Menorca's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check the apartment's opening dates before booking. July and August are the peak months, with more buses and crowds at the coves. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax is charged by the accommodation per person per night; the rate varies by season and length of stay, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
