Apartamentos Xereca Dalt Vila I

About Apartamentos Xereca Dalt Vila I

Apartamentos Xereca Dalt Vila I suits travellers who want to sleep inside the old town rather than commute into it. The address, Carrer Rosari 3, places the apartment in Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town, 0.2 km from the walls and 0.6 km from the port below. Couples and small groups who plan to walk to dinner and to the ferry terminal get the most from the position, while anyone wanting a pool or a garden should weigh other options.

The property is an apartment or villa stay with a three-star rating, so expect a straightforward base rather than hotel services. The listed comforts are air conditioning, a balcony, a television, a telephone and wifi, which cover hot afternoons, slow evenings and a little work if it follows you. It is a practical choice for a first visit to Eivissa or for a short break built around the old town.

Location: Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town

Dalt Vila is the walled upper town of Eivissa, set on the hill above the port, with Renaissance walls from the 16th century and the cathedral at the top. The quarter forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site listed in 1999, together with the posidonia meadows, the Phoenician settlement of Sa Caleta and the Puig des Molins necropolis. The lanes climb in places, the stone walls give shade, and the harbour sits below.

Walking covers most of what you need from Apartamentos Xereca Dalt Vila I: the walls are 0.2 km away, the Puig des Molins necropolis 0.7 km, and the port 0.6 km for ferries and the marina. Talamanca bay, 1.7 km off, and Playa d'en Bossa, 3 km, are better reached by taxi, hire car or a seasonal bus. High summer brings crowds and heat to the old town; spring and autumn are gentler for walking the ramparts.

Rooms and facilities

The listed facilities at Apartamentos Xereca Dalt Vila I are air conditioning, a balcony, a television, a telephone and wifi. For couples, the balcony is the useful extra: somewhere to sit after the climb back up from the port. Families get air conditioning and a television for the hottest part of the day. Late arrivals should agree arrival arrangements with the property beforehand, since the old town streets are quiet at night.

Confirm with the property what the balcony looks onto, which floor the apartment sits on and how many stairs are involved, since Dalt Vila is built on a slope. Ask about kitchen equipment if you plan to eat in, about cots or extra beds for children, and about how the keys are handed over. Check-in and check-out times are worth fixing before travel, and so are the current tourist tax arrangements.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) lies 6.6 km south-west of Apartamentos Xereca Dalt Vila I in straight line, in the municipality of Sant Josep. Taxis and hire cars make the run into Ibiza Town directly; buses link the airport with Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni, Santa Eulària and the south beaches, with more lines in summer. From the drop-off point, the last stretch to Carrer Rosari is on foot through the old town.

The port is 0.6 km from Apartamentos Xereca Dalt Vila I, downhill and easy on the way out. Ferries from Ibiza Town port run to Formentera (La Savina), Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia, with Sant Antoni offering some mainland routes in season. Sailings and flights thin out in winter, so check operators and the property's own dates before fixing a crossing to the island.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Beaches are a short drive rather than a walk: Talamanca is 1.7 km from Apartamentos Xereca Dalt Vila I, a calm shallow bay across the marina from Ibiza Town, and Playa d'en Bossa, the longest beach on the island with the big clubs behind it, is 3 km. The dunes and salt pans of Ses Salines Natural Park are 8.8 km south, a Ramsar wetland where salt is still harvested.

The sights on the doorstep are the reason to stay here: the walls of Dalt Vila at 0.2 km and the Puig des Molins necropolis at 0.7 km. For island food, look for bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the fish stew served in two courses, and fresh fish with rice, in the streets around the port and the old town. Village restaurants and markets are spread across Ibiza, so a car helps for day trips.

A day from Apartamentos Xereca Dalt Vila I

Start with the climb to the walls of Dalt Vila, 0.2 km from Apartamentos Xereca Dalt Vila I, before the heat builds and the day visitors arrive. Walk the ramparts, then drop to the Puig des Molins necropolis, 0.7 km off, for the Phoenician and Punic tombs. Lunch back near Carrer Rosari, then a slow afternoon on the balcony while the old town empties.

Later, take a taxi or a seasonal bus to Talamanca, 1.7 km away, for shallow water and a calm bay, or push on to Playa d'en Bossa at 3 km if you want more space and a longer swim. Return to the port, 0.6 km from Apartamentos Xereca Dalt Vila I, for the evening, and eat within walking distance of the apartment.

Practical tips

Apartamentos Xereca Dalt Vila I sits in a quarter that stays open all year, but much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so confirm the property's own opening dates before booking. July and August bring the heaviest demand and the highest heat. Per person per night, Apartamentos Xereca Dalt Vila I collects the Balearic sustainable tourism tax, the ecotasa; the amount depends on the accommodation type and the month, falls in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the Govern de les Illes Balears for current rates.
