Villa Romero I

About Villa Romero I

Villa Romero I is a villa in the Cala d'Hort area of Ibiza, set back from the coast with an outdoor pool and a garden. It suits travellers who want a quiet base on the island's west side, close to one of its most dramatic natural sights, the islet of Es Vedrà. The property is not on the beachfront, so a car is useful for reaching the coves and viewpoints.

This is an unrated villa, so there is no star category or guest score to guide expectations. The listed facilities are straightforward: free WiFi, free car parking, a safe, a terrace, a garden and an outdoor pool. A babysitting service is also listed, which makes the villa a practical choice for families who want an evening out without leaving the children.

Location: Cala d'Hort

The villa sits in the Cala d'Hort area, a small cove inside the Cala d'Hort, Cap Llentrisca and Sa Talaia natural park. The cove faces Es Vedrà, the limestone islet about 380 m high that rises from the sea a few kilometres offshore. The setting is open and rural, with scrub-covered hills and views across the water. The nearest village is not listed, but the cove itself has a few places to eat and a rocky shore.

Cala d'Hort beach is 2 km from the villa in a straight line, so you will need to drive or take a short taxi ride to reach the water. Cala Comte, a beach with shallow clear water and islets offshore, is 9.2 km away. Sant Antoni de Portmany is 12.1 km away, and Ibiza Town is 17.3 km from the port. In high summer, the road to Cala d'Hort can be busy, but the area feels quieter than the south coast. In the shoulder months of May and October, the pace is slower and the natural park is at its best.

Rooms and facilities

The villa is listed with an outdoor pool, a garden and a terrace, which suggests a private outdoor space for relaxing. Rooms are not described in detail, so the layout, number of bedrooms and bathroom arrangements should be confirmed with the property before booking. The listed facilities include a safe and free WiFi, which are useful for a self-catering stay.

For families, the listed babysitting service is a notable feature, but you should check its availability and terms directly with the villa. Late arrivals are possible, but you will need to arrange check-in times with the property. There is no mention of air conditioning, so if you travel in July or August, ask whether the bedrooms have cooling. Free car parking is listed, which is essential in this rural area.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 11.2 km from Villa Romero I in a straight line. A taxi from the airport takes about 20 minutes depending on traffic, and a hire car is the most flexible option for exploring the west coast. Buses run from the airport to Ibiza Town and Sant Antoni, but they do not serve Cala d'Hort directly, so you would need a taxi from the nearest stop.

If you arrive by ferry at Ibiza Town port, the villa is 17.3 km away in a straight line, about a 25-minute drive. From Sant Antoni de Portmany, the distance is 12.1 km. In winter, flights and ferries are fewer, and some seasonal bus services stop running, so a hire car is strongly recommended. Check the current bus timetable with the island operator if you plan to rely on public transport.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest beach to Villa Romero I is Cala d'Hort, 2 km away in a straight line. The cove is small and faces Es Vedrà, and the water is clear, though the beach is not the longest on the island. Cala Comte, 9.2 km away, has shallow water and islets offshore, and is a popular spot for swimming and sunset views. The Torre des Savinar walk starts 3.3 km from the villa and leads to a historic watchtower with views over Es Vedrà.

Es Vedrà itself is 4.3 km from the villa in a straight line, but you cannot land there because it is a nature reserve. You can see it from the cliff near Cala d'Hort or from the water on a boat trip. For a higher viewpoint, climb Sa Talaia, the island's highest point at about 475 m, 6.2 km away. Ibiza's food includes bullit de peix and arròs a banda, a fish stew served in two courses, and fresh fish and rice dishes are common in the area.

A day from Villa Romero I

Start the day with a swim in the villa's outdoor pool, then drive the 2 km to Cala d'Hort for a morning on the cove. The beach faces Es Vedrà, so the view is the main attraction. After a swim, walk along the cliff or drive the 3.3 km to the Torre des Savinar for a wider perspective of the islet and the coastline.

In the afternoon, drive 9.2 km to Cala Comte for shallow, clear water and a swim off the rocks. Return to the villa for a rest, then head to the cliff near Cala d'Hort for sunset, when Es Vedrà is lit from behind. For a longer excursion, drive 6.2 km to Sa Talaia and climb to the summit for a view over the south of the island. End the day with dinner at one of the simple places near the cove, or cook at the villa.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check Villa Romero I's opening dates before booking. July and August are the peak months, with the busiest roads and the highest demand for accommodation. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate changes with the season and the type of villa, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate on the Govern de les Illes Balears website.
