About Villa los Tres Menorca

Villa los Tres Menorca is a self-catering apartment or villa near Cala en Bosc, on the south-west coast of Menorca. It suits travellers who want a base with a kitchen, a swimming pool and a terrace, away from the main resort centres. The property is not rated and has no guest score listed; it offers free car parking and free WiFi.

The villa is a practical choice for a family or a small group who prefer to cook and eat at their accommodation. The listed facilities include air conditioning, a washing machine and an iron and board, which make longer stays easier. The nearest village is Cala en Bosc, and the old town of Ciutadella is 7.9 km straight-line away.

Location: Ciutadella de Menorca

Villa los Tres Menorca is on Carrer Bufador 248, in a residential area outside the main resort strip. Cala en Bosc is a small coastal settlement with a sandy beach, a handful of shops and a few places to eat. The villa is not beachfront; the nearest beaches are a short drive away. Ciutadella, 7.9 km straight-line, is the old capital of Menorca, with a cathedral, palaces and a narrow port.

In high summer, July and August, the area is busy but quieter than the bigger resorts like Cala Galdana or Son Bou. A hire car is useful for reaching the coves and sights. In the shoulder months of May, June and September, the roads are emptier and parking at the popular beaches is easier. Much of the tourism business on Menorca closes roughly from November to April; check the villa's opening dates.
