Snooze in the 'pod'

Pool and Palm Tree

Looking for a modern villa in a peaceful location a minute from rolling hills & pine clad valleys, yet only steps from a village with wonderful restaurants, Tapas bars & speciality shops? Well you won't need Phil & Kirstie from 'Location, Location, Location,' as our villa gives you all this from its position on a quiet lane in the centre of San Jose village & you won't need to drive miles up a dirt track to get to it! Stylish, full of light & uncluttered (so don't bring Ann Maurice, the House Doctor) & recently chosen to feature in Spanish Homes magazine, this spacious villa has plenty of room for families or groups of friends to socialise, but has private areas where couples can be alone together. For fans of Can't Cook, Won't Cook, the village's bakery is at the end of the lane for vital supplies of strong hot coffee and delicious food! With a good bus service, village amenities & taxis all mins away you can save on the cost of hiring a car.

The villa has a groundfloor bedroom and shower room which is perfect for those with mobility problems who can't manage stairs, however a small number of steps are involved in accessing the house from the lane and the BBQ area so do please ask for further information.
We are sorry to say the villa isn't suitable for wheelchair users.

Outside
An alfresco dining area in the sunken garden seats 8 comfortably under cover. It's completed by a large outdoor BBQ (help yourself to the herb garden!) and the shady 'chill' out area where you can relax in the summer breeze on comfy beanbags whilst listening to the relaxing sounds of the Buddha water feature. The roof terrace (has sun all day) is great for sunbathing in complete privacy, you can get that elusive all over tan! The large terraces off the bedrooms & lounge ensure you can laze away the day - try the comfortable 'pod' (put the hood up, plump up the cushions and snooze in the shade!). The private pool is 9x4m & is sun-splashed all day long. There are quality teak sun loungers. Chairs, tables & recliners are provided around the garden for relaxation & dining. In the evening transform the garden & terraces with candles (supplied), lanterns & the atmospheric lighting - great for BBQs, or sit on the roof terrace & gaze at the stars. Day or night this villa has lots to offer!

Coast/Beach
The villa is perfectly placed for quick access to the west coast beaches of Ibiza including stylish Las Salinas where all the famous people head for (12 minutes by car/taxi), trendy Cala Jondal with its fantastic restaurants or the snorkelers' favourite Cala Moli which is quiet even in August (5 minutes by car).

Buses run through the village to the beaches of Cala Tarida, Cala Vadella and the Bay of San Antonio where you can catch water ferries to beaches such as Cala Conta or Cala Bassa.

Golf
The island's golf course, the 27 hole Roca Llisa, is about 15kms (20 minutes by car) away.

Special interest holidays
Around the village of San Jose and the rest of Ibiza there are numerous bike paths and walks that can be enjoyed.
The town hall has provided information on the routes available - please ask if you are interested and we can forward the details onto you. We can advise on the historic sites dotted around the island, should that take your interest.
Cycling is a popular activity (particularly out of the main season) and there are many challenging routes as well as the velodrome situated on the outskirts of San Antonio.

Travel
The airport is 10 minutes away by car (or approx 15 mins in a taxi). Car hire isn't essential as buses run to both San Antonio and Ibiza. The village is fully serviced with a supermarket (closed Sunday), bars, shops and restaurants. Should you wish to hire a car it can be organised and collected from Companies at either the Airport or San Antonio. Taxis are easy to flag down in the village or we're happy to call them for you. An airport bus runs through the village (in July/Aug 'til 2am).

Distances
Cosmopolitan Ibiza town is 15 minutes by car/bus and €18 in a taxi, whilst San Antonio is 10 minutes away by car/bus.
The airport is a 10 minute drive away.
As Ibiza is a small island most places are only a short drive away. Being travel writers we can offer plenty of tips on where to go, what to see and how to get there; a quiet beach in August? Fabulous restaurants that won't cost the earth? Buy club tickets online? - no need to pour over guide books, just ask! We're happy to help.

Further details
Don't you just hate having to get in a car and drive when you run out of something? Do you always end up being the designated driver? Well relax, only minutes away on foot the village has everything you need; some top class restaurants, a tapas bar where there's no menu - you just point at what you want! a good supermarket with many well-known brands, a butcher, fishmonger, 3 banks, post office, newsagents, church, patisserie (fab cakes and croissants!), children's playground (great for the little ones), many speciality shops (handbags, jewellery, beachwear) and a chemist, doctor and dentist. In the evenings the local cafebar has live music three times a week in its charming courtyard garden. Or soak up the atmosphere in the 'local' bar which is as cheap as chips! Many of our clients enjoy being car-free whilst others welcome the fact they don't have the extra cost of hiring 2 cars for their full holiday - particularly in the high season when it can be expensive! If you want to explore then escape on the regular bus service that runs through the village which can take you to cosmopolitan Ibiza Town, lively San Antonio, family orientated San Jose bay or a couple of near by beaches, or flag down a taxi - you don't have to be tied to a car. We can also provide details of a 'private chauffeur' service. San Jose village is the perfect place to holiday if you want access to the nightlife and restaurants, but prefer to leave the tourist hustle and bustle behind. Very much a local village, from the church bells peeling each morning at 8 to the old 'guys' sitting in the cafe on the square drinking their daily brandy you'll experience a slice of the real Ibiza and it's all within walking distance from the villa.

If you do plan on hiring a car to experience Ibiza fully the villa is located within easy reach of the best beaches, Ibiza Town and many of the villages. We'll happily provide guidance to the best spots to visit, easy parking and even where you might try for lunch!
