Apartamentos Casa Franziska

About Apartamentos Casa Franziska

Apartamentos Casa Franziska is a three-star apartment or villa address on Carrer De Ses Feixes, on the Ibiza side of the shallow Talamanca bay. The layout suits couples who want space and a garden rather than a busy lobby, and families who value free parking and an independent base near Ibiza Town. Groups of friends travelling together fit here too. It is a quiet sort of stay, with the water at Talamanca 0.8 km away and the marina and old town just beyond it.

The property is rated three stars and takes the form of apartments or a villa rather than a hotel, so days tend to run on your own schedule. A garden, a terrace and a reception area are listed among its spaces, with housekeeping, luggage storage and multilingual staff among the services. That combination works well for longer stays in Talamanca, where the appeal is space and quiet rather than a busy programme on site. Ibiza Town is close enough for evenings out.

Location: Talamanca

Talamanca is a calm, shallow bay across the marina from Ibiza Town, with a long curve of sand and water that stays low for a good distance out. Apartamentos Casa Franziska sits on Carrer De Ses Feixes, a short way back from the bay; Talamanca itself is 0.8 km away in a straight line. Ibiza Town port is 1.9 km off and Dalt Vila, the walled upper town, is 2.5 km. This is a low-rise, residential corner, quieter than the club strip to the south.

Walking covers the bay and the marina crossing to Ibiza Town port, with the old town a steady climb or a short taxi ride from Casa Franziska. Buses serve the town and the south beaches, with more lines in summer, and a hire car opens up the rest of the island; free parking at the property removes the usual worry. Playa d'en Bossa is 5.3 km from the apartments, and the Ses Salines dunes 10.9 km.

Rooms and facilities

The listed facilities point to a self-contained base rather than a serviced hotel. Free wifi, a garden and a terrace cover the everyday needs, while a reception area and luggage storage help if you land early. Housekeeping and multilingual staff are listed, and bicycle hire is a practical extra for the flat run to the bay. Families benefit from free car parking and the space of an apartment; couples get quiet. A casino also appears on the list, so ask what it covers.

Arrival and departure times vary, so confirm your window with Apartamentos Casa Franziska when booking, especially after a late flight into Ibiza Airport. Ask about the wheelchair accessible access, how bicycle hire works and what the casino and bar facilities involve, since it is worth knowing which are on site and when. Bed set-up and kitchen arrangements are also worth an email if you are travelling with children or staying a week.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) lies in Sant Josep, about 9 km in a straight line from Apartamentos Casa Franziska. A taxi from arrivals is the simplest way with bags and crosses the south of the island towards Talamanca. A hire car collected at the airport gives flexibility for the week and can be left in the free parking at the property. Local buses connect the airport with Ibiza Town, and the bay is a short onward hop from there.

Ibiza Town port is 1.9 km from the apartments in a straight line, which matters if you arrive by ferry from Formentera or from the mainland. The road round the marina leads to Talamanca and Carrer De Ses Feixes. Coming from Playa d'en Bossa, 5.3 km away, the run is straightforward. Bus lines thin out outside summer and flights are fewer in winter, so check the island bus operator and current schedules before travelling to Casa Franziska.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The shallow water of Talamanca bay is 0.8 km from Apartamentos Casa Franziska, good for children and for swimmers who prefer calm, warm shallows. Across the harbour, the walls of Dalt Vila stand 2.5 km away and make the best short outing of the stay; the Puig des Molins necropolis, the Phoenician-Punic burial ground, is 3.2 km off. Playa d'en Bossa, the longest beach on the island, is 5.3 km away, with the Ses Salines dunes 10.9 km.

Food around Talamanca and Ibiza Town is built on fish and rice. Bullit de peix and arròs a banda are the dishes to look for, a fish stew served in two courses, the second being rice cooked in the broth. Menus near the marina and in the old town range from tapas to long seafood lunches. Ask at Casa Franziska which places near the bay stay open in your month, since many kitchens close outside the season.

A day from Apartamentos Casa Franziska

Begin with the bay. Talamanca is 0.8 km from Apartamentos Casa Franziska and calm enough for an early swim before the heat builds. Follow the marina round into Ibiza Town and climb to Dalt Vila, 2.5 km from the apartments, where the 16th-century Renaissance walls and the cathedral take an hour or two. The Puig des Molins necropolis, 3.2 km away, fills another hour on the way back.

The afternoon belongs to sand or shade. Playa d'en Bossa is 5.3 km from Casa Franziska and runs for a long way; the Ses Salines dunes, 10.9 km off, suit walking more than lying down. Return to Talamanca for a late swim, then eat near the marina or in the old town. Bicycles hired at the property cover the flat run to the bay, while the car makes light of Playa d'en Bossa and the salt pans.

Practical tips

Spring and autumn suit Apartamentos Casa Franziska best: the sea sits at about 18-19 °C in May and 23-25 °C in September, and Talamanca bay is quieter than in July and August, when Ibiza Town and the marina fill. Many tourism businesses on the island shut roughly from November to April, so confirm the property's own opening dates for a winter stay. A sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) is charged per person per night at Apartamentos Casa Franziska; the rate varies with season and accommodation type, under-16s are exempt, and the Govern de les Illes Balears publishes the current rules.
