Villa Can Cardona

About Villa Can Cardona

Villa Can Cardona suits travellers who want a quiet base in the Ibizan countryside, with the island's main sights within easy reach. This apartment or villa is not rated with stars, and no guest score is listed. The property sits outside the resort areas, so you get space and calm rather than a busy seafront location.

The accommodation is set up for self-catering, with a kitchen, dishwasher, oven, microwave and washing machine. Outside, there is a garden, terrace, patio, outdoor pool and a pool bar. Free wifi, air conditioning and parking are listed, along with a safe, cot and high chairs for families. It is a practical choice for a week or longer on Ibiza.

Location: Santa Eulària des Riu

Villa Can Cardona is in the countryside on the road Camino Viejo De San Mateo, outside the main resort areas. Ibiza Town is 5.1 km away as the crow flies, and the port is 5 km. Talamanca beach is 4.5 km away, and Playa d'en Bossa is 7.7 km. The setting is rural, with fields and low hills around, yet the island capital is close enough for a short drive.

You will need a car or taxi to reach most places, as there is no village within walking distance listed. In high summer, the roads to the coast fill up, so allow extra time. In the shoulder months of May, June, September and October, the countryside is quieter and the drive to town easier. The property's own parking makes a hire car straightforward.

Rooms and facilities

The rooms are listed with air conditioning, a fan and a fireplace, so you can adjust the temperature in any season. Each unit has a kitchen with a refrigerator, toaster, microwave, oven and dishwasher, plus a washing machine for longer stays. A desk, iron and board, hairdryer and safe cover practical needs, and a TV and DVD player are available for evenings.

Families are catered for with a cot, high chairs and a playground, plus table tennis for older children. Non-smoking rooms are standard. Express check-in is listed, which helps for late arrivals. Confirm with the property which rooms have which facilities, as the list is general and layouts may vary.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is 10.3 km away in a straight line, about a 15-20 minute drive by taxi or hire car. Buses run from the airport to Ibiza Town and other points, but you would then need a taxi or a hire car to reach the villa. A hire car collected at the airport is the most flexible option for exploring the island.

If you arrive by ferry at Ibiza Town port, the villa is 5 km away, a short taxi ride. Talamanca, 4.5 km away, is the nearest coastal area. In winter, flights and ferries are fewer, so check schedules with the operators. The villa's countryside location means public transport is limited, so plan to drive.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest beach is Talamanca, 4.5 km away, a calm shallow bay across the marina from Ibiza Town. Playa d'en Bossa, 7.7 km away, is the island's longest beach, with clubs behind it. Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town are 5.1 km away, where you can walk the Renaissance walls and see the cathedral at the top.

The Puig des Molins necropolis is 5.7 km away, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Sa Talaia, the island's highest point at about 475 m, is 11.9 km away for a climb and views. For food, try bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the island's fish stew served in two courses, at restaurants in town or along the coast.

A day from Villa Can Cardona

Start the day with breakfast on the terrace at Villa Can Cardona, then drive the 5.1 km to Dalt Vila. Walk the 16th-century walls and visit the cathedral at the top before the heat builds. In the late morning, head to Talamanca, 4.5 km away, for a swim in the shallow bay.

After lunch, drive to Playa d'en Bossa, 7.7 km away, for the afternoon on the sand or a walk along the shore. Return to the villa for a swim in the pool and a rest. In the evening, go back to Ibiza Town for dinner, or stay in and cook with local produce. The distances are short enough for a relaxed day.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check the villa's opening dates before booking. July and August are the busiest months, with higher demand and more traffic. 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.
