Outside
The alfresco dining area in the sunken garden seats 8 comfortably under cover and is completed by a large outdoor BBQ (help yourself to the herb garden!). Here you'll also find the shady 'chill' out area where you can relax on comfy beanbags whilst listening to the relaxing sounds of the Buddha water feature.
The rooftop terrace is great for sunbathing in complete privacy - helping you gain that elusive all over tan! The large terraces off the bedrooms & lounge ensure you can laze away the day - try the comfortable 'pod' (put the hood up, plump up the cushions and snooze in the shade!).

The private pool is 9x4m and is sun-splashed all day long and there are quality teak sun loungers. Chairs, tables and recliners are provided around the garden for relaxation and dining.

In the evening transform the garden & terraces with candles (supplied), lanterns & the atmospheric lighting - great for BBQs or sit on the roof terrace & gaze at the stars. Day or night this villa has lots to offer!

Coast/Beach:
The villa is perfectly placed for quick access to the west coast beaches of Ibiza including stylish Las Salinas where all the famous people head for (12 minutes by car/taxi), trendy Cala Jondal with its fantastic restaurants or the snorkelers' favourite Cala Moli which is quiet even in August (5 minutes by car).
Buses run through the village to the beaches of Cala Tarida, Cala Vadella and the Bay of San Antonio where you can catch water ferries to beaches such as Cala Conta.



Golf and Special interest holidays:
The island's golf course, the 27 hole Roca Llisa, is about 15kms (20 minutes by car) away. Around the village of San Jose and the rest of Ibiza there are numerous bike paths and walks that can be enjoyed.
The town hall has provided information on the routes available - please ask if you are interested and we can forward the details onto you. We can advise on the historic sites dotted around the island, should that take your interest.
Cycling is a popular activity (particularly out of the main season) and there are many challenging routes as well as the velodrome situated on the outskirts of San Antonio.

Travel:
The airport is 10 minutes away by car (or approx 15 mins in a taxi). Car hire isn't essential as buses run to San Antonio, Ibiza, the airport and Cala Tarida and Cala Vadella. The village is fully serviced with a supermarket (closed Sunday), bars, shops and restaurants. Should you wish to hire a car it can be organised and collected from Companies at either the Airport or San Antonio.

Distances:
Cosmopolitan Ibiza town is 15 minutes by car/bus and €18 in a taxi, whilst San Antonio is 10 minutes away by car/bus.
The airport is a 10 minute drive away. As Ibiza is a small island most places are only a short drive away. Being travel writers we can offer plenty of tips on where to go, what to see and how to get there; a quiet beach in August? Fabulous restaurants that won't cost the earth? Buy club tickets online? - no need to pour over guide books, just ask! We're happy to help.


Further details:
Don't you just hate having to get in a car and drive when you run out of something? Well relax...only minutes away on foot the village has everything you need; some top class restaurants, a tapas bar where there's no menu - you just point at what you want! a good supermarket with many well-known brands, a butcher, fishmonger, 3 banks, post office, newsagents, church, patisserie (fab cakes and croissants!), children’s' playground (great for the little ones), many speciality shops (handbags, jewellery, beachwear) and a chemist, doctor and dentist. in the evenings the local cafebar has live music three times a week in its charming courtyard garden. There is a regular bus service that runs through the village which can take you to cosmopolitan Ibiza Town, lively San Antonio or a couple of near by beaches.

San Jose village is the perfect place to holiday if you want access to the nightlife and restaurants, but prefer to leave the tourist hustle and bustle behind. Very much a local village, from the church bells peeling each morning at 8 to the old 'guys' sitting in the square drinking their daily brandy you'll experience a slice of the real Ibiza and it's all within walking distance from the villa.
