Villa Natasha

About Villa Natasha

Villa Natasha suits travellers who want an independent base on the west side of Menorca, close to the old capital Ciutadella but outside the main resort strip. The villa is not rated and has no guest score; it is listed as an apartment or villa with a kitchen, an outdoor pool and free car parking, which makes it practical for families or small groups who prefer to cook and drive rather than rely on hotel restaurants and shuttle buses.

The stay is self-catering in a residential area near Cala en Blanes, a small cove with a rocky shore and a handful of seasonal services. The villa has air conditioning, free wifi and a washing machine, so it works for longer stays. The pool bar is listed among the facilities, though in practice it may be seasonal; confirm with the property. This is not a beachfront villa: the nearest named beach is Cala Galdana, 15.2 km straight line away, and the cove at Cala en Blanes is walkable.

Location: Ciutadella de Menorca

Villa Natasha is on Calle Madrid in the Calan Blanes area, about 3.6 km straight line from Ciutadella. Ciutadella is the old capital of Menorca, with a cathedral, palaces, a narrow port and a lively evening scene. The villa is in a residential zone, not in the historic centre, so a car is useful for visiting the old town and the south-coast coves. In high summer the roads to popular beaches like Cala Turqueta (12 km straight line) fill early; in the shoulder months of May, June and September the area is quieter and parking easier.

The nearest village is Cala en Blanes, a small settlement with a cove, a few bars and a supermarket. Most supplies and restaurants are in Ciutadella, a short drive away. The villa has free car parking, so you can leave the car and walk into town in the evening. The location is practical for exploring the west and south of the island without staying in a crowded resort.

Rooms and facilities

Villa Natasha is listed as a self-catering villa with a kitchen, dishwasher, microwave and coffee facilities. Rooms have air conditioning, a safe and a hairdryer. The property is non-smoking and has a smoke detector. Free wifi is listed. The villa has an outdoor pool and a pool bar; confirm with the property whether the bar is open during your stay. There is a washing machine, which is useful for longer trips.

The villa suits families or couples who want space and independence. There is no mention of a cot or high chair; ask the property if you need them. Late arrivals should check the check-in procedure with the owner, as there is no reception desk. The listed facilities suggest a straightforward self-catering stay rather than a serviced hotel.

Getting there

Menorca Airport (MAH) is 38.9 km straight line from Villa Natasha. A taxi takes about 30-40 minutes. A hire car is the most practical option for this villa, given the free parking and the distances to beaches and shops. Buses run from the airport to Maó and, in summer, to Ciutadella; from Ciutadella bus station you could take a taxi to the villa, but a car is strongly recommended for exploring.

The ferry ports are Maó (41.5 km straight line) and Ciutadella (3.6 km straight line). Ferries from Barcelona and Mallorca arrive at Ciutadella in summer; from Maó there are overnight crossings to Barcelona. If you arrive at Maó port, a taxi or hire car is needed. Flights and ferries are fewer from November to April; check the schedules with the operators.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Ciutadella old town is 3.5 km straight line from the villa, walkable in about 40 minutes or a short drive. The old town has a cathedral, palaces and a port where you can watch the sunset. The Naveta des Tudons, a boat-shaped prehistoric tomb, is 7.9 km straight line away, on the road to Ciutadella. Cala Turqueta, a white-sand cove on the south coast, is 12 km straight line; arrive early in summer or take the bus from Ciutadella.

The south-coast coves of Cala Galdana (15.2 km straight line) and Cala Macarella are within a 20-minute drive. Es Mercadal and Monte Toro, the highest point on Menorca at about 358 m, are 25 km straight line away, with views of both coasts. The Camí de Cavalls, the coastal bridleway, passes near several of these coves. Mahón-Menorca cheese is sold in local shops; try it with a tomato and olive oil salad.

A day from Villa Natasha

Start the morning with breakfast at the villa, then drive to Ciutadella old town (3.5 km). Walk through the narrow streets to the cathedral and the port. From there, continue to the Naveta des Tudons (7.9 km) for a short visit. Mid-morning, drive to Cala Turqueta (12 km) for a swim; arrive before 10 am in July and August to find parking. Bring a picnic, as the cove has no restaurant.

In the afternoon, drive to Es Mercadal (25 km) and climb Monte Toro for the view. Return to the villa for a rest by the pool. In the evening, drive back to Ciutadella for dinner at a port-side restaurant. Walk along the port after dark. The villa's free parking means you can leave the car and walk into the old town.

Practical tips

Much of Menorca's tourism business closes roughly from November to April; check with Villa Natasha whether it is open in winter. July and August are the peak months, with crowded coves and higher demand for hire cars. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the type of accommodation and the season, is reduced in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
