Villa Beni is a delightful house that is smart, elegant and stylish in equal measure. From a privileged, gently elevated, position the property boasts lovely views over olive groves and market gardens towards the pine clad slopes that border the relaxed, coastal town of Santa Eulalia.
Santa Eulalia, barely 3km from the villa, dates from the 16th Century when its fortified church, Puig de Missa, was established - a building now regarded by many to be the loveliest and best-preserved example of its kind in Ibiza. A leafy rambla leads down to the seafront promenade bordering the long, family-friendly sandy beach and the town is home to a wonderful array of shops as well as an extensive choice of bars, restaurants and cafés.
Inside:
From the terrace, broad glass doors lead into an open plan living/dining room that is warmly decorated and furnished in contrasting shades of taupe and coffee-cream. Notable amongst the furniture is a magnificent, dark wood carved wall mirror complementing the cooling floor tiles and partially stone clad wall.
An archway leads through to an inner hallway and the sleeping accommodation. All three bedrooms are well appointed with two boasting creatively designed en suite facilities (one an imaginative open-plan layout, the other with a bath attractively set into a curved alcove accessed via a Moorish-style archway!). The third bedroom is served by a separate cloakroom, perfect for children (2 single beds).
There is air conditioning in the living room, in the hallway (cooling two bedrooms) and a portable air conditioner in the master bedroom.
Outside:
Everything about Casa Beni is most convivial and welcoming. The kidney-shaped swimming pool is fringed with immaculate lawn, various lush palms, cacti and olive trees. The completely private and beautifully maintained grounds offer a number of tempting vantage points from which to enjoy the impressive vista; to one side a large, part-covered dining terrace, on the lawn a Jacuzzi tub and, beside the pool, a raised ‘chill-out' gazebo, replete with soft mattress, all compete for the right to be centre of holiday attention.
