Casa Patri

About Casa Patri

Casa Patri suits travellers who want a base in the quiet north of Ibiza rather than a resort strip. The three-star apartments and villa sit outside Sant Carles de Peralta, a village of low houses and lanes between the coast and the hills. Couples who plan to drive to a different cove each day, and families who need space, cooking facilities and parking, are the obvious fit. Groups of friends coming for the markets and the north coast calas work well here too.

The property is listed as an apartment or a villa with three stars, so plan for self-catering rather than hotel service: kitchens with ovens, fridges and dishwashers, washing machines, terraces and a garden. An outdoor pool and a solarium shape the days, and air conditioning, wifi and a safe cover the practical side. A long activity list runs from diving and fishing to horse riding, golf, squash and bowling. Weigh the listed facilities and the location against your own plans before booking.

Location: Santa Eulària des Riu

Casa Patri is addressed to Sant Carles de Peralta, a village in the north of Ibiza where the road runs between pine woods, small holdings and the sea. This is the quiet end of the island: few through roads, no big club strip, evenings that end early. The village is small, and Las Dalias market, 2.6 km away, is the main seasonal draw. Santa Eulària des Riu, the nearest larger town, is 6.5 km away and keeps a promenade, marina and year-round life.

A car makes the most of the position. Es Canar is 4.4 km away, Cala Sant Vicent 4.6 km and the Punta Arabí hippy market 4.6 km, none of them a comfortable walk with towels and a cool bag. Buses run in the north in season with fewer lines in winter, so check the island bus operator before relying on them. In July and August the lanes around Sant Carles de Peralta fill in the late afternoon; in May, June and September they stay calm, with the sea at about 18 to 19 °C in May and 23 to 25 °C in September.

Rooms and facilities

Inside, the listed facilities point to self-catering: kitchen, oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, toaster and coffee making, plus a washing machine, iron and board, and cleaning and housekeeping support. Families can ask about cots and babysitting, and the garden, patio and terrace give children room while dinner is prepared. Air conditioning, a fireplace, a TV and free wifi cover both summer heat and a cool spring evening, and non-smoking rooms are listed.

Couples and late arrivals should confirm the practical details: reception hours, how keys are handed over, whether express check-in applies, and who to contact on arrival, since this is a small apartment or villa setup rather than a staffed hotel. Ask which units have the fireplace or the solarium, whether pool towels are supplied, and what cleaning is included on a longer stay. Free car parking is listed, worth confirming if you arrive with a hire car.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 24.8 km from Casa Patri in straight line, in Sant Josep south-west of Ibiza Town. By hire car the drive crosses the island to the north-east, with the last stretch on the lanes around Sant Carles de Peralta. Taxis wait at the terminal. Buses from the airport serve Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni, Santa Eulària and the south beaches, with an onward connection to the village; check current lines with the island bus operator.

Ibiza Town port, 17.8 km away in straight line, is where ferries from Formentera, Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia arrive. Hiring a car at the port, or in Santa Eulària des Riu 6.5 km from Casa Patri, keeps the transfer simple. Winter brings fewer flights and ferries between November and April, and seasonal bus lines thin out too, so a winter arrival is easier with a car booked in advance. Confirm arrival arrangements with Casa Patri before travelling.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Es Canar, 4.4 km away, is a sheltered family beach with the Punta Arabí hippy market beside it, held on Wednesdays in season. Cala Sant Vicent, 4.6 km away, is a pine-ringed bay in the quieter north. Santa Eulària des Riu, 6.5 km away, adds a promenade, marina and everyday shops. Kayaking on the north coast calas starts about 4.9 km from Casa Patri, and Las Dalias market at Sant Carles is 2.6 km away on Saturdays in season, though the days can change.

Food here follows the island pattern: fish from the boats, rice dishes, and the two-course fish stew, bullit de peix followed by arròs a banda. Village kitchens and beach bars in the north keep things simple, and the kitchen and oven listed at Casa Patri let self-caterers cook in. Larger food shops are in Santa Eulària des Riu, 6.5 km away. Many seasonal kitchens in this corner shut from November to April, so check before a winter visit.

A day from Casa Patri

Start early with the short drive to Cala Sant Vicent, 4.6 km away, for a swim before the bay fills up; the water sits at about 18 to 19 °C in May and 22 to 23 °C in June. Come back through Sant Carles de Peralta and stop at Las Dalias market, 2.6 km from Casa Patri, if the calendar matches, checking current days with the organisers or the property. Lunch at the apartment, using the kitchen and terrace, leaves the afternoon for the pool and solarium.

Late afternoon suits Es Canar, 4.4 km away, for shallow water and the Punta Arabí hippy market 4.6 km from Casa Patri on its seasonal Wednesday. Santa Eulària des Riu, 6.5 km away, is the place for an evening walk along the promenade and a meal afterwards. A longer outing reaches Ibiza Town port and the walls of Dalt Vila, 17.8 km away, best kept for a day when the drive back in the dark does not matter.

Practical tips

July and August are when the north of Ibiza is at its fullest, so book Casa Patri well ahead for those weeks. Outside high season the area slows and many seasonal bars, boat trips and restaurants close roughly from November to April, so ask the property for its own opening dates before planning a winter stay. Expect the Balearic sustainable tourism tax to be added per person per night by the accommodation; rates vary with season and length of stay, children under 16 are exempt, and the Govern de les Illes Balears publishes the current rules.
