Apartamentos Xereca Dalt Vila II

About Apartamentos Xereca Dalt Vila II

Apartamentos Xereca Dalt Vila II suits travellers who want to sleep inside the oldest part of Ibiza Town and leave the car alone. The address on Carrer San Lluis puts the apartment 0.2 km from the Dalt Vila walls and 0.6 km from the port below, so the first coffee, the ferry to Formentera and the evening walk all begin on foot. Couples and small families who prefer a flat to a hotel room fit here.

This is a three-star apartment building rather than a full-service hotel, and the appeal lies in self-sufficiency plus a position inside the old town. Air conditioning, wifi, a safe and a terrace are listed, a combination that suits several nights rather than a single overnight. Couples travelling light and families who want their own space get the most from this kind of base in Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town.

Location: Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town

Dalt Vila is the walled upper town of Eivissa, a hill of Renaissance walls, ramps and shaded lanes directly above the port. Apartamentos Xereca Dalt Vila II sits 0.2 km from that core, so the cathedral hill and the harbour are both a short walk. Below the walls, Ibiza Town continues with the marina, the ferry quays and the streets of the modern centre, which stays open through the year.

Walking covers the old town, the port and Puig des Molins, 0.7 km away. Talamanca bay is 1.7 km across the water and Playa d'en Bossa 3 km south, both easier by bus, taxi or hire car given the hill and the one-way streets. Parking is listed for guests who drive. July and August fill the lanes early and keep them busy; in spring and autumn the same circuit is quiet and cooler.

Rooms and facilities

The listed facilities describe a practical apartment: air conditioning for the Dalt Vila heat, free wifi and internet access, a safe for documents, and a terrace for the cooler hours. Non-smoking rooms are listed, which helps families with children. Parking is listed too, worth confirming for a quarter where street space is tight. Late arrivals should arrange the shuttle service and the key handover with the property before the journey.

Since Apartamentos Xereca Dalt Vila II is an apartment rather than a staffed hotel, the details worth settling in advance are the everyday ones: how many people the flat sleeps, whether the terrace is private to it, what the parking arrangement involves and how arrival works if a flight or the ferry from La Savina runs late. Ask the property directly about the shuttle service and anything needed for a longer stay.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) lies 6.6 km south-west of Apartamentos Xereca Dalt Vila II, in the municipality of Sant Josep, and the drive into town is short. A taxi covers it most simply, while a hire car suits anyone planning to tour the island, with parking listed at the building and one-way streets to negotiate at the end. Airport buses run into Ibiza Town, with more lines in summer, and the last climb to Dalt Vila is on foot.

The port is 0.6 km below Apartamentos Xereca Dalt Vila II, reached downhill on foot, and from there ferries cross to La Savina on Formentera in about 30-35 minutes on the fast service or about an hour on the conventional boats, alongside sailings to Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. Talamanca is 1.7 km away and Playa d'en Bossa 3 km. Winter brings fewer flights and sailings, so check operators for the dates.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Puig des Molins, the Phoenician-Punic necropolis that shares the UNESCO listing with Dalt Vila, is 0.7 km from Apartamentos Xereca Dalt Vila II and makes an easy morning. The walls themselves begin 0.2 km away. For swimming, Talamanca is 1.7 km across the marina and Playa d'en Bossa 3 km south. The dunes and salt pans of the Ses Salines Natural Park are 8.8 km off, a half-day rather than a walk.

Fish dominates the local cooking: bullit de peix is a stew served in two courses, with the rice, arròs a banda, arriving after the fish. Grilled fish and rice dishes fill the menus in the lanes between the port and the walls, all a short walk from an apartment 0.6 km above the quays. An early dinner before a ferry, or a late one after a beach day, fits easily.

A day from Apartamentos Xereca Dalt Vila II

Start on foot. The Dalt Vila walls are 0.2 km from Apartamentos Xereca Dalt Vila II, so the climb through the ramparts to the cathedral takes the first hour before the heat builds. Puig des Molins, 0.7 km away, follows. Then walk down to the port, 0.6 km off, and take a bus or taxi the 1.7 km to Talamanca for a swim in the sheltered bay, or the 3 km to Playa d'en Bossa.

Come back in the late afternoon, use the terrace while the town cools, and head out again once the walls lose the sun. The evening belongs to Dalt Vila, 0.2 km away, with a slow circuit of the ramparts and dinner in the lanes below. With a full day spare, go early the 8.8 km to the Ses Salines dunes by car or seasonal bus, before the salt pans hold the heat.

Practical tips

Spring and autumn suit Apartamentos Xereca Dalt Vila II best, when the lanes stay walkable and the port is calm. From roughly November to April most of the island's seasonal business shuts, so confirm the apartment's own opening months before booking a winter stay; July and August bring the most visitors and the flat books early. A sustainable tourism tax is charged per person per night by the accommodation, with rates varying by category and season and under-16s exempt; the Govern de les Illes Balears publishes the current rules.
