OVERVIEW

Villa Gilbert feels like it is the middle of nowhere; and in many ways it is and this is the appeal to enjoy peace and quiet in a traditional finca set within a plot 15,000 m2. Part of the original house dates back over 300 years. Ibiza being relatively small means that you are never that far from civilisation and Santa Gertrudis village is 10 minutes away, San Antonio 15 minutes and Ibiza Town 20 minutes.

The villa consists of the original finca and a more modern extension

The finca has 2 levels with the upper level housing a terrace
The ground floor is split level
There are 5 bedrooms split between the original finca and the extension

Bedroom with double bed, en suite bathroom and doors that lead to the gardens
Three bedrooms with twin beds and ceiling fan
Bedroom with bunk beds to sleep 4 (suitable for children), ceiling fan and en suite bathroom

Modern kitchen in a traditional style with exposed brick walls and wooden beams and leading to a small dining area.
Double height living room with traditional Sabina wood ceiling and skylight; leading to the porch with a small dining area, gardens and pool

There are another 2 dining areas, one by the finca and the other next to the pool, and a brick built charcoal BBQ

The swimming pool is 12 metres long and 5.5 metres wide with loungers 

LOCATION

Villa Gilbert is reached along a 2 kilometres long dirt road through the countryside in a rural & private setting between the small villages of San Mateo and Forada and the larger villages of San Rafael & Santa Gertrudis. This is a real "get away from it all" villa where you are surrounded by the beautiful Ibiza countryside

The nearest bar/restaurant is La Granja Farmhouse Kitchen, an upmarket organic restaurant. 3 kilometres away in the tiny village of Forada with 1 bar and 1 small convenience store; we say village but in reality it's a crossroads, but this is Ibiza off the beaten track and away from tourists where the person sitting next to you is more like to be a local rather than a holidaymaker

For larger villages head to Santa Gertrudis and San Rafael (Sant Rafael de sa Creu) with a good selection of restaurants to suit.

One of the reasons Ibiza is such an amazing destination is that the villa is less than 10 kilometres from the bustling resort of San Antonio, and only 15 kilometres to Ibiza Town; allowing you to chill in the countryside by day and choose whether to cook a BBQ under the stars at night or head out for a totally different experience at night
