About Owner

I first came to Menorca in 1968 as a child. My parents loved it so much that they bought 2 properties in Calan Porter . At that time the island was completely undiscoverd with hardly any tourists. I have seen it grow and witnessed all the changes. I have now lived permanently on the island for more than 25 years. I am on hand to help with any additional information required during your stay.

Why Owner chose Cala en Porter

This property is a great family retreat. Very spacious and suitable for a large family, or 2 groups of 4. Many friends with their children have had wonderful holidays in this house. It continues to surprise everyone who has never stayed before with it´s stunning views and beautifully maintained private pool.

We are told repeatedly that our fotos do not do justice to the real thing!

What makes this house unique

Quiet road, yet near enough to everything required for a wonderful holiday. Very friendly village atmosphere closeby.

Please note : We do not accept more than 8 people to stay in this property.

We stayed in Villa Casa D or for the last 2 weeks in June, just my husband and myself for the 1st week then joined by our 3 sons and their wives the 2nd week. The villa is clean, large, spacious and comfortable with everything catered for. The pool and is lovely with a large area for sunbeds and a great bbq area. The views from the top terrace of the villa are amazing. Wonderful for watching the sun setting.
Our favourite local restaurant was La Palette. Its just a short walk from the villa. If you love ribsyou have to try them here. Across the way from the La Palette is the caves and bar Cova d en Xoroi, a must visit. We visited many places on the island and we were impressed with the resorts and many restaurants we went to. Our favourite trip was to Mao Harbour and the glass bottom boat trip.
Cala en Porter itself has a lovely sandy, safe beach, ideal for children. The beachside cafes were very good and good value.
We would definately recommend the villa and the resort. Carry the owner was always available to help if need be. This is our 3rd villa rented as a family and we are all in agreement that this was the best.

Having just returned home from Menorca, I feel that I have to write a review on this wonderful house!

We weren't sure what to expect after holidaying in rented properties abroad before but feel that we struck gold with this one.

I can't recommend this house highly enough. It was beautifuly clean with essentials in the fridge when we arrived which was a really nice touch.

There are 4 really good size bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a kitchen with absolutely everything you need, a beautiful lounge with lovely furniture and books and sky t.v. The large pool is surrounded by a great terrace with 2 seating areas and built in bbq.
The sun terrace at the very top of the house gives breath taking views of all around and we loved to watch the sun set in the evening.

We really did feel like guests in someones home rather that renting a place to stay. Caroline, the owner answered all our questions before we left and was also available should we have needed her while we were there.
The house is within 10 minutes walk from the town where there are good restaurants and shops. The beautiful beach is about 10 minutes walk too.
There were 2 families of 4, so 8 in total staying at this house and we certainly weren't cramped as it was so spacious.
Please don't have any doubts or worries about booking this house, thanks to Caroline and the beautiful island of Menorca we would certainly go again!

Owner's Response: Thank you Nina for your comments. I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Casa Dor... it is important to me to get positive feedback like this.

Very best wishes,

Chicken soup for the soul

My two best friends and I live hundreds of miles apart so it's wall to wall gossiping and chatting when we get together. However, we were all rendered silent last year when our jaws nearly hit the floor at this amazing property. Not only is the property something we would have expected to pay double for, but the furnishings and decor is incredible. None of the tat normally associated with a holiday rental accommodation. The location is incredible, it's as the picture shows, a short walk along that spectacular coast to the town. It's a perfect holiday location, fantastic sandy beach, great bars but not in the least commercialised.

And the owner, Caroline, proved to be worth her weight in gold when I stupidly dropped my wallet containing my passport and all my money on day one. She was there within the hour, driving me to town and translating at the police station. She even refunded part of my deposit to give me spending money and generally was a saint.

It is a a reflection of the property and the owner that losing all my money didn't spoil the holiday one little bit. It is literally the best holiday accommodation my friends and I have ever experienced.

Owner's Response: Angie thank you so much for your kind comments. I was only too pleased to help and as you said at the time...the scene at the Police station was quite comical!!

Do hope to see you back one of these day.

All the best,
Caroline

Great Relaxing Family Holiday

5 of 5
Submitted: September 13, 2009 Stayed: September 2009
We've just come back from a weeks holiday and had a thoroughly enjoyable time. The villa was perfect and the pool area excellent. Our two boys (aged 1 and 4) fell in love with the pet tortoises which live in the shrubs by the pool and took great delight in running out every morning to feed them some lettuce leaves!

The villa was equipped with everything you need (and more besides!) and the thing we loved was it felt very much like a home from home. We loved looking at all the books on the bookshelves and it was great that previous holidaymakers had left things for us to use (such as the inflatable rubber rings and boat for the pool and the childrens buckets and spade came in very handy as well!).

The villa is just the right distance away from everything and the views are stunning.

Caroline was very helpful and arranged for the cot and high chair that we needed and we really appreciated the cold beer and wine that was in the fridge on our arrival.

Thank you for a great holiday!!!

I took my now fully grown family to this villa This is a good villa and is fair value, spacious, well furnished, clean, well maintained and has a homely feel. You will want for nothing in this villa and if you do, one phone call to the owner, Carrie, and you will get a prompt and friendly response. Be sure to read and digest the information she will leave for you, it is exact and easy to understand
It is a 10-15 minute walk to the restaurants of Cala n Porter, however at the end of the street there is Spanish bar and restaurant, excellent service and very convenient. It does stay open late but we did not suffer any disturbance at all other than the urge to go back for another freezing pint.It has a good menu too, it is not to far from the Cova De Xoroi, walking distance, if modern dance music is not for you visit during the day this truly "a cool" place to visit.
I am considering my next visit for next year if not sooner. We have stayed in several of the properties in Cala en Porter over the years, this has been the best yet.
