Villa Montecristo

About Villa Montecristo

Villa Montecristo is a self-catering apartment or villa in the countryside of Ibiza, about 3.8 km north-east of Ibiza Town. It suits travellers who want a quiet base with a pool and garden, away from the busiest resort strips, but within reach of the island's main sights and beaches. The property is not rated for stars and has no guest score listed.

The stay is independent: guests have a private outdoor pool, a terrace and a picnic area. Free car parking is provided, and free wifi is available throughout. The property has multilingual staff and an arcade. It is not beachfront, so a car or taxi is needed for the coast.

Location: Sant Antoni de Portmany

Villa Montecristo is set on Carrer Des Nisprer in a rural area outside Ibiza Town. The straight-line distance to Dalt Vila and the town centre is 3.8 km, and to the port it is also 3.8 km. Talamanca beach is 3.7 km away, and Playa d'en Bossa is 6.2 km. The setting is quiet, with fields and low-rise villas around, and no immediate neighbours on the same road.

In high summer, the area feels calm compared to the coast, but the short drive to Ibiza Town or Talamanca puts you near restaurants and beaches. In the shoulder months of May, June, September and October, the countryside is greener and the roads quieter. A hire car is practical for exploring, as public buses are limited outside the main routes.

Rooms and facilities

Villa Montecristo is listed as an apartment or villa with an outdoor pool, a garden, a terrace and a picnic area. The property has free car parking and free wifi. The arcade and multilingual staff are additional facilities. As a self-catering unit, guests have their own space and privacy.

For families, the pool and garden offer space for children to play, and the picnic area is useful for outdoor meals. Couples may prefer the quiet setting. Late arrivals should confirm check-in arrangements with the property, as there is no 24-hour reception. All facilities are as listed; guests should verify the exact layout and number of bedrooms when booking.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 8.8 km in a straight line from Villa Montecristo. A taxi from the airport takes about 15-20 minutes by road. A hire car is a good option, as the property has free parking and the countryside location is easier with your own transport. Buses from the airport serve Ibiza Town, but from there you would need a taxi or a further bus to reach the villa.

From Ibiza Town port, the straight-line distance is 3.8 km, so a taxi from the ferry terminal takes about 10 minutes. Talamanca is 3.7 km away, walkable if you are fit, but a car is more convenient. In winter, flights and ferries are fewer, and some seasonal bus lines stop running; check the island bus operator for current services.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest beach by straight line is Talamanca, 3.7 km away, a calm shallow bay across the marina from Ibiza Town. Playa d'en Bossa, 6.2 km away, is the longest beach on the island, with a wide sandy shore and the big clubs behind it. Dalt Vila, the walled old town, is 3.8 km away and is a UNESCO World Heritage site with Renaissance walls and a cathedral at the top.

The Puig des Molins necropolis, a Phoenician-Punic burial site also part of the UNESCO listing, is 4.3 km away. Sa Talaia, the highest point on Ibiza at about 475 m, is 10.9 km away and offers views over the island. For food, Ibiza's local dishes include bullit de peix (a fish stew served in two courses) and arròs a banda; these are found in restaurants in Ibiza Town and Talamanca.

A day from Villa Montecristo

A day from Villa Montecristo could start with a morning swim in the outdoor pool, then a short drive to Talamanca for a walk along the shore. From there, head into Ibiza Town to explore Dalt Vila: walk the Renaissance walls and see the cathedral at the top. The Puig des Molins necropolis is a short drive from the town centre.

In the afternoon, drive to Playa d'en Bossa for a longer beach stay, or return to the villa for a picnic in the garden. In the evening, drive back to Ibiza Town for dinner at a restaurant near the port or in the old town. The distances are short enough to return to the villa between activities.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April; check with Villa Montecristo for its exact opening dates. July and August are the peak months, with higher demand and hotter weather. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the type of property and the season, is reduced in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate on the Govern de les Illes Balears website.
