About Coliving AdD LiVitum

Coliving AdD LiVitum suits travellers who want to stay in the middle of Ciutadella rather than out at a coastal cove. The address on Carrer Del Marquès D'albranca puts the old town about 100 metres away, so an evening walk to the cathedral and the narrow port takes minutes. Couples and small groups who plan to mix town time with day trips around Menorca's west and south fit the place well, and a car can be parked free of charge.

Coliving AdD LiVitum is a four-star hotel with a guest score of 4.5 out of 5 from 22 reviews. Expect a town base rather than a coastal resort: a garden, a terrace and a picnic area are among the facilities, alongside a reception area and a meeting room. It works well for a walking or cycling holiday, with bicycle hire at the address to save loading a car for short errands.

Location: Ciutadella

Ciutadella is Menorca's old capital, and its historic centre holds a cathedral, palaces and a narrow port that faces west, which makes it the place to be at sunset. Coliving AdD LiVitum sits inside that fabric: the old town at dusk is about 100 metres from the door and the harbour fronts are an easy stroll. Shops, cafés and the everyday life of a working town carry on through the year, unlike the seasonal coastal strips.

Most of what you need in Ciutadella is walkable from Coliving AdD LiVitum, and the old town, the port and the evening circuit need no transport at all. For the coves and prehistoric sites, use the free parking or the bicycle hire. Cala Turqueta is 9.4 km away, Cala Galdana 12.1 km and the Naveta des Tudons 4.3 km, all straight-line figures. In July and August the southern car parks fill early; in May, June and September the same drives are calmer.

Rooms and facilities

The facilities at Coliving AdD LiVitum cover the practical side of a town stay: free wifi, free car parking and luggage storage, plus express check out for an early start. A garden, terrace and picnic area give somewhere to sit outside without leaving the address, and the reception area and safe handle the routine parts of arrival. A free newspaper, a laundry service and a smoking area are also listed, and wheelchair accessible provision is listed too.

Couples can treat Coliving AdD LiVitum as a base for two, while families should ask the hotel which sleeping arrangements suit their group before booking. Also confirm check-in and check-out times, whether a parking space needs reserving in summer, how the laundry service works and what the meeting room involves if work travels with you. Bicycle hire is worth arranging at the same time as the booking, particularly for shorter trips around town.

Getting there

Menorca Airport (MAH) is 35.6 km from Coliving AdD LiVitum in a straight line, on the south-west side of Maó. A taxi is the simplest option with luggage, while a hire car collected at the airport gives flexibility for the coves later in the stay and can be parked free of charge at the hotel. Buses run to Maó and, in summer, to the resorts; check the island bus operator for lines that reach Ciutadella.

From Maó port, 38.1 km away in a straight line, the drive across the island brings you to the west coast. Ciutadella also has its own ferry links, with overnight crossings to Barcelona and sailings to Alcúdia on Mallorca; there is usually no regular direct ferry between Menorca and Ibiza, so most travellers connect through Mallorca or fly. Check the operators for current timetables, and allow slack in winter, when flights and ferries are fewer.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Cala Turqueta, 9.4 km away, and Cala Galdana, 12.1 km away, are the closest of the south-coast coves to Coliving AdD LiVitum, both limestone bays with white sand under pine. Arrive early in high summer, or take the bus where a service runs. The Naveta des Tudons, a boat-shaped prehistoric tomb, is 4.3 km from the door and makes a short outing on the way back from the coast.

Menorca's food is part of the reason to stay in town. Mahón-Menorca cheese carries a protected designation of origin and appears on menus across the island, and caldereta de llagosta, the lobster stew associated with Fornells on the north coast, is a local benchmark. The British stay in the 18th century left a gin tradition that bars in Maó and Ciutadella still follow. Eating in Ciutadella keeps the evening within walking distance of Coliving AdD LiVitum.

A day from Coliving AdD LiVitum

Start the morning at Coliving AdD LiVitum on foot: the cathedral, the palaces and the lanes above the port are about 100 metres away. Drive or cycle 4.3 km to the Naveta des Tudons before the day heats up, then continue south to Cala Turqueta, 9.4 km from the hotel, for a swim. Walkers can pick up the Camí de Cavalls, about 185 km in 20 stages, which circles the island.

Return in the late afternoon, leave the car in the free parking and walk down to Ciutadella's narrow port for the sunset, 100 metres from Coliving AdD LiVitum. The evening then stays in the old town, with dinner on foot rather than another drive. If a longer beach day appeals, Cala Galdana at 12.1 km is the other obvious run from the hotel, and the bicycle hire covers shorter errands.

Practical tips

Much of Menorca's tourist business closes roughly from November to April, so check Coliving AdD LiVitum's own opening dates before booking a shoulder-season trip; Ciutadella itself stays open all year. July and August are the peak, when the south-coast car parks fill early. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax, known as the ecotasa, is added by the accommodation for each person per night; the amount depends on the category of the property and the season, is reduced in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. The Govern de les Illes Balears publishes current rates.
