A restored traditional house rooted in the island’s architectural heritage. As if made for the traditionalists, the property shows its history proudly. Walk-in through the bougainvillea-covered stone archway and you’ll find reminds from its past kept throughout. From textured tiled floors to knotted wooden beams, the aesthetic benefits from the understated. Free from distractions, interconnected living areas are designed to accentuate easy socialising and relaxation. Thick, whitewashed walls create a private ambience, helping to keep the villa cosy in winter and cool the rest of the year.
Carefully updated by its current owners, the kitchen has been given a modern style with micro cement finishes and high-tech appliances, including a Smeg range cooker. Skylights built into the authentic wooden ceilings welcome light into the muted space. Dine here or at the covered al fresco dining area, facing the picturesque pool. Backdropped by fruit orchards and panoramic Morna Valley views, the aroma of orange, lemon and apricot trees lingers heavily in the air. Some of the greatest views can be admired from the first-level terrace, where you can catch a glimpse of the sea on the horizon, beyond wide-reaching, rolling hills.
Much like its relaxing location, nothing shouts here. The muted palette in all 5 bedrooms is calming and airy, while bathrooms combine micro cement, brushed bronze, onyx, marble and stone to tactile yet exquisite effect.
Set in the hidden Morna Valley, the property is sheltered between the tradotional villages of Santa Eulalia and San Carlos. Complete privacy and peace come with the territory here. Close by, Cala Mastella is among Ibiza’s smallest and most preserved beaches for those informed – join the locals snorkelling in its quiet, clear waters. To enjoy the island’s free-spirited nature, raise a toast at famous Anita’s Bar in San Carlos, explore the hippy market in Las Dalia or listen to the live music in nearby San Juan.
