Casa Can Ferran

About Casa Can Ferran

Casa Can Ferran is an unrated apartment or villa set in the countryside of Ibiza, away from the main resort strips. It suits travellers who want a quiet base with a car, close enough to Ibiza Town for evening visits but far enough for calm. The property is listed with a garden, an outdoor pool and a solarium, so the stay can be self-contained.

The villa is not part of a hotel complex, so there is no reception desk or on-site restaurant. Instead, the accommodation comes with a kitchen, a dishwasher and a washing machine, which makes it practical for longer stays. Families are well served: a cot, high chairs and a babysitting service are listed. The property also allows pets, which is useful for those travelling with a dog.

Location: Santa Eulària des Riu

Casa Can Ferran sits in the rural interior of Ibiza, within the municipality of Eivissa. The nearest named point is Talamanca, 2.8 km away in a straight line, a calm shallow bay across the marina from Ibiza Town. Ibiza Town itself, with its port and Dalt Vila, is 3.9 km away as the crow flies. The setting is countryside, so expect fields and quiet lanes rather than pavement.

A car is almost essential. The straight-line distances are short, but the roads are winding and rural. Parking is free on the property. Ibiza Airport is 10.1 km away, and the port is 3.6 km. In high summer, the roads into town can be busy, but the villa's location means you can escape the crowds. In the shoulder months of May and October, the countryside is quieter and the pace slower.

Rooms and facilities

The accommodation is listed as a villa or apartment, so it is a whole unit rather than a single room. Facilities include air conditioning, a fan, a fireplace, a kitchen with an oven, microwave, toaster and dishwasher, plus a washing machine. There is a TV, DVD and CD player, and free Wi-Fi. The bathroom has a bath and a bidet. A safe and a desk are also listed.

For families, the property lists a cot, high chairs and a babysitting service. Pets are allowed. The outdoor pool and solarium are shared or private depending on the booking, so confirm with the property. Cleaning is listed, but check the frequency. Late arrivals should arrange check-in times directly, as there is no 24-hour reception. The 24-hour security is listed, which adds peace of mind.

Getting there

From Ibiza Airport (IBZ), Casa Can Ferran is 10.1 km in a straight line. A taxi is the most direct option, taking about 15 to 20 minutes depending on traffic. Hire cars are available at the airport, and with free parking at the villa, a car is the practical choice. Buses run from the airport to Ibiza Town, but the villa is not on a main bus route, so a taxi or car is needed for the last stretch.

If arriving by ferry, Ibiza Town port is 3.6 km away. From the port, a taxi will take about 10 minutes. The villa is also close to Talamanca, 2.8 km away, which is a short drive. In winter, flights and ferries are fewer, so plan ahead. The property is outside the main resort areas, so public transport is limited; check with the hotel for the best way to reach the door.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest beach area is Talamanca, 2.8 km away, a calm bay with shallow water, good for families. Cala Llonga is 6.2 km away, a long sheltered inlet with a sandy beach. Dalt Vila, the walled old town of Ibiza, is 4.1 km away, where you can walk the Renaissance walls and see the cathedral. The Puig des Molins necropolis is 4.6 km away, a Phoenician-Punic burial site and part of the UNESCO listing.

Las Dalias market at Sant Carles is 12.4 km away, a Saturday market in the north of the island. For food, try bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the island's fish stew served in two courses, or fresh fish and rice dishes. Many coves and beaches are easiest by car, and the villa's location gives good access to both the south beaches and the quieter north.

A day from Casa Can Ferran

Start the morning with a drive to Talamanca, 2.8 km away, for a swim in the calm bay. The water is shallow and sheltered, good for a relaxed start. Afterwards, head into Ibiza Town, 3.9 km away, and walk the walls of Dalt Vila. The climb to the cathedral gives views over the port and the sea. Stop for a coffee in the old town before the heat of the day.

In the afternoon, drive to Cala Llonga, 6.2 km away, for a longer beach session. The inlet is sheltered, and the water is clear. Return to the villa for a swim in the pool and a rest. In the evening, go back to Ibiza Town for dinner at a local restaurant, or stay in and cook using the kitchen. The port area is lively at night, but the villa's countryside setting means a quiet sleep.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check with Casa Can Ferran for its opening dates. July and August are the peak months, with the busiest roads and the highest demand. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate varies by season and length of stay, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate with the Govern de les Illes Balears before booking.
