House with private pool in the forest Cala Morell, Ciutadella de Menorca

We have been superbly welcomed by the lovely owners Miguel and Joana. They did everything to make our stay very pleasant. The garden and the swimming pool were great with no vis-a-vis and the location closed to Ciudadella very convenient. We would definitely come back !

Lovely experience: the villa is tranquil, rustic, the pool is enormous, and there are several outdoor areas to relax in shade and sun. Owners incredibly attentive and responsive. Only thing we'd say is it was hot and no aircon, only one fan, so the breezes it usually gets couldn't be depended upon (second two weeks in July). Cala Morell is quiet and beautiful. No shops, but we loved Yvette (one of two restaurants - the other is Japanese) which goes great sunset cocktails. There's also a beach/bar restaurant which closes at six. The teenagers found it quiet to begin with, but by the end, they'd surrendered to the atmosphere! Lovely beaches nearby. Definitely need a car. We would come back for sure. Thank you! PS everything is as described perfectly.

We stayed for 1 week in the house. Everything is perfect. Quiet and beautiful garden. Lovely hosts.

This charming house exceeded our expectations in many ways. Only a ten minute stroll from the beach of Cala Morrel, the house is at the end of a mature and quiet residential area. The good-sized, well-maintained pool and garden are not overlooked and there is plenty of shade to be found around the house and under the pine trees on a small, grassy area. Perfect for undisturbed reading and snoozing on the sturdy sunbeds - or just staring out into the forrest. Beware, you are sharing the garden with a resident turtle which may grace you with its presence from time to time! The house is well maintained. A new, modern bathroom was installed in early 2022. The kitchen is a bit dated, but well equipped with lots of crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils, and a good sized fridge and freezer. We enjoyed the new gas barbecue on the patio - where we had all our meals around the lovely wooden table with comfortable, wooden chairs (not the ghastly plastic variety that you find in so many holiday rentals). The house is comfortable. It is easy to create a good airflow in the summer with windows open and shutters slightly ajar. There were three of us but five people would have fitted comfortably. Miguel and Joanna are great hosts. They were very flexible when we asked to arrive a few hours earlier than originally announced. They take great pride in their property and look after it themselves. We had asked to leave on our departure day at 12 noon, and even though this meant they did not have much time to get the property ready for the next guests they agreed and did not show up a minute before the agreed time. Much appreciated! Therefore: five stars for this property and the hosts. The only slightly surprising thing (and no fault of the owner): there are NO shops in Cala Morrel. No possibility to buy bread or milk, or fruit. Granted, the big supermarkets in Ciutadella are only a 10-minute drive away, but we were surprised that with all the self-catering accommodation around no one has picked up on this business opportunity yet.

As others have said, the outdoor area of the casita is excellent, giving the feeling of backing onto a Mediterranean woodland and is more extensive/prettier/brighter than the pictures. There are plenty of both sunny and shady spots and a plethora of good, supportive chairs and loungers, and we were well protected from the fierce cold wind (something which properties on the cliff certainly were not). It was also incredibly private and peaceful and again compared very well with other properties in the area. (We live in rural south wilts so are very “picky” about this.) Although the road into Ciutadella passes close by(totally hidden by vegetation and walls), we rarely heard it although this may be different in busier times, birdsong principally being the only sound during our stay. Ideal for getting onto the coastal path in both directions. Although the pool was chilly given the weather, I enjoyed using it. We ate out in Ciutadella in the evening although there is a good gas barbecue. The small kitchen, was sufficient for our needs and would be for those eating outdoors. All appliances functioned well. However, it would probably frustrate those who want to do more sophisticated catering for large numbers (who does on holiday?) and are confined indoors by wet weather. Similarly, the bathroom is of a certain age but everything still works very well. Hooray, a loo with a good flush for once! No noise or extraneous light at night so good for sleep. As others have said, the best beaches are 10 minutes drive and have excellent water clarity. The casita was clean and tidy and Miquel and Juana were excellent hosts and it was great to be able to practise my Spanish. I would definitely recommend this property to family and friends except those who demand the latest fashion in interior design or those who need a shop nearby or a direct access sandy beach.

We stayed for a week at the start of July. The property is lovely with a big pool surrounded by tall pine trees providing a nice mixture of sunshine and shade. At that time of year it was very quiet in the neighbourhood - Cala Morell is pretty much only a village of holiday homes as far as we could see. The kitchen is really well equipped and we used the gas grill almost every day (the local Lidl is about 12 minutes away by car and has lots of pre-prepared as well as fresh food). The local beach is good if you are into swimming or snorkelling but not for children or for sunbathing (small and crowded). But we enjoyed exploring many of Menorca's other very beautiful beaches. The owners were very responsive when there was a minor issue with the pool (sorted within an hour of texting). The house has two patios and we used both of them. All in all, if you're looking for a quiet holiday home with a pool that offers great value for money, this is a good choice. The only downside is that you will be spending some time driving to the beach and the shops.

The villa was fantastic, we had a superb stay. Miquel and Joanna (the owners) were a pleasure to deal with and lovely. The pool, villa and everything within was of a high standard. We would go back in a flash. Many thanks!
