Peace and quiet, fantastic views and very friendly host!
We really enjoyed our stay. Belen is an incredibly friendly and welcoming host. When we arrived she was there to greet us, showed us around, and left us some crisps and beer in the fridge for our first night. She kept in touch during our stay and it was always possible to get hold of her if there were any problems (though we didn't have any).
The apartment is comfortable and very spacious. We had everything we needed in the kitchen area to prepare light meals (including two frying pans plus saucepans, contrary to the previous review on this site from May 2019). Having a dishwasher was an unexpected bonus, as was access to a washing machine! The interior of the fridge needed a bit of a wipe down, but otherwise we found the apartment spotlessly clean.
The furnishings are identical to those in the photographs: the apartment contains an eclectic mix of vintage and modern items, but in our view it's unfair to describe these as 'tired'. The bathroom is clean and practical and looks like it has been refurbished recently. The bedroom has plenty of space for storing clothes and suitcases, and there are shutters on all the windows.
If you're looking for somewhere peaceful to stay then this is a really excellent choice! The apartment is located up in the hills away from main roads, and the houses are interspersed with plenty of mature trees and shrubs. The views from the terrace and balcony are spectacular (we loved watching the sunset from the roof terrace). The TV is equipped with subscription services, giving access to a full range of programmes in different languages if you do want entertainment -- though we didn't have much need for it as we spent most of our time enjoying Ibiza.
The beach at Cala Vedella is great, if a little busy, but we also loved exploring some of the other beaches in the vicinity including Cala Carbo (which was quieter) as well as getting out and about and exploring the rest of the island. You will need a car to really get the most out of this place, but street parking is free and we didn't usually have too much difficulty finding a space.
Overall, we had a wonderful and relaxing holiday and hope to come back again another year. Thank you, Belen!
