Casa Petita

About Casa Petita

Casa Petita suits travellers who want a quiet base in the Ibizan countryside, away from the resort strips and nightlife. It is an unrated apartment-villa with its own outdoor pool, garden and terrace, designed for self-catering stays. The property has a fireplace and a lounge, so it works for cooler evenings in spring or autumn as well as summer.

The accommodation is a single unit with a kitchen, washing machine and dishwasher, making it practical for longer holidays. Free car parking is listed on site, which is essential given the rural location. Multilingual staff are available to help with check-in and local information.

Location: Sant Josep de sa Talaia

Casa Petita sits on a country road called Diseminado Sa Plana Benimu, in the interior of Ibiza. The nearest town by straight-line distance is Sant Antoni de Portmany, 6.4 km away, which has a bay, a promenade and ferry links to the mainland in season. Ibiza Town and its port are 8.1 km away, and the airport is 7.4 km away. The area is agricultural, with low stone walls and pine trees.

In high summer the countryside is dry and quiet, with little traffic on the local lanes. In the shoulder months of May, June, September and October the temperatures are milder and the fields are greener. A car is needed to reach shops, restaurants and beaches; there is no village within walking distance. The address is not in a resort, so nightlife noise is absent.

Rooms and facilities

Casa Petita is listed as an apartment-villa with a kitchen, a lounge with a fireplace, a terrace and a garden. The kitchen includes a refrigerator, oven, microwave, dishwasher and coffee maker, so guests can prepare meals. A washing machine, iron and board, hairdryer and TV are provided. Cribs are available on request, which makes the property suitable for families with infants.

The outdoor pool is private to the property. Free WiFi is listed. There is no on-site restaurant or reception desk; guests should confirm check-in procedures and key collection with the property before arrival. Late arrivals are possible if arranged in advance with the multilingual staff.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 7.4 km straight line from Casa Petita. A taxi takes about 15 minutes on the local roads. A hire car gives flexibility for exploring the island and is recommended because the property is rural. Buses from the airport run to Sant Antoni and Ibiza Town, but the nearest stop is not within walking distance of the house.

From Ibiza Town port, where ferries from Formentera, Mallorca and the mainland arrive, the straight-line distance is 8.1 km. A taxi or hire car is the only practical option. In winter, flights and ferries are fewer, and some seasonal bus lines stop running. Check the island bus operator for current schedules.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Sant Antoni de Portmany, 6.4 km away, has a long seafront promenade, a marina and a range of shops and restaurants. Playa d'en Bossa, 7.8 km away, is the longest beach on the island, with shallow water and a wide stretch of sand. Ibiza Town’s Dalt Vila, 7.6 km away, offers the walled old town, a cathedral and views from the Renaissance ramparts.

The Puig des Molins necropolis, 7.5 km away, is a Phoenician-Punic burial site and part of the UNESCO listing. Sa Talaia, the highest point on Ibiza at about 475 m, is 5.2 km away and has a walking trail to the summit. Local food includes bullit de peix (fish stew served in two courses) and arròs a banda, found in restaurants across the island.

A day from Casa Petita

A day from Casa Petita could start with breakfast on the terrace, using the kitchen’s coffee maker. Drive 6.4 km to Sant Antoni de Portmany for a morning walk along the bay. From there, continue south to Cala d’Hort, a cove facing Es Vedrà, about 10 km by road. The islet is a nature reserve and no landing is allowed, but the view from the shore is clear.

In the afternoon, head to Ibiza Town, 8.1 km away, to walk the walls of Dalt Vila. The cathedral at the top gives a panorama of the port and the countryside. Return to Casa Petita for a swim in the pool and an evening meal prepared in the kitchen. The rural location means the night sky is dark and quiet.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza’s tourism business closes from roughly November to April; check Casa Petita’s opening dates directly. July and August are the peak months, with high temperatures and crowded beaches. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the season and the property type, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
