Villa Fiesta

About Villa Fiesta

Villa Fiesta is a self-catering villa in the Cala en Blanes area of Menorca, suited to couples or small families who want a base with outdoor space. The property has a garden and an outdoor pool, with a balcony and free WiFi. It is not rated by stars and has no guest score listed.

This is a straightforward villa stay: you have the rooms, a pool and a garden, and the nearest village is Cala en Blanes. The location puts Ciutadella 3.8 km away, so evening trips to the old town are easy by car. The villa is not on the beachfront; the coast at Cala en Blanes is a short drive.

Location: Ciutadella de Menorca

Villa Fiesta is in the urbanisation of Cales Piques, near the village of Cala en Blanes on Menorca's west coast. Cala en Blanes has a small cove with a beach, a few shops and restaurants, and a rocky coastline. The area is quieter than the south-coast resorts, with a mix of villas and apartments set among pine-covered hills.

Ciutadella is 3.8 km straight line from the villa, reachable by car in about 10 minutes. The old town has a cathedral, palaces and a narrow port, and is busy in summer evenings. For the south-coast coves such as Cala Turqueta (12.6 km) or Cala Galdana (15.7 km), a car is needed. In the shoulder months of May, June and September, the roads are quieter and parking easier.

Rooms and facilities

The villa is listed with a balcony, a safe, and free WiFi. It has a garden and an outdoor pool. The property is described as a non-smoking villa, which suits families or groups who want private outdoor space. No room types, numbers of bedrooms or bathrooms are specified, so confirm the layout with the property when booking.

For late arrivals, check-in times and key collection should be arranged directly with the villa management. The listed facilities do not include air conditioning, so ask whether the rooms have fans or cooling. The safe is useful for storing documents and valuables during beach trips.

Getting there

Menorca Airport (MAH) is 39.3 km straight line from Villa Fiesta. A taxi from the airport takes about 40 minutes. Seasonal buses run from the airport to Maó and, in summer, to the resorts; from Ciutadella you would need a taxi or bus to Cala en Blanes. A hire car collected at the airport gives flexibility for exploring the island.

Maó port is 41.9 km straight line from the villa, with ferries to Barcelona (overnight) and Palma. Ciutadella port is 3.8 km away and also has ferries to Barcelona and Alcúdia on Mallorca. Flights and ferries are fewer from November to April, and some seasonal bus routes stop running; check the island bus operator for current timetables.

Practical tips

Much of Menorca's tourism business closes roughly from November to April; check Villa Fiesta's opening dates before booking. July and August are the busiest months, with crowded coves and higher prices. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the season and type of villa, and is reduced for longer stays. Children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
