Villa Review: Can Rei, Ibiza

750

It may be a small Spanish island in the Mediterranean Sea but Ibiza has a big reputation as the place to party. Yet you could show off your moves at the pulsating clubs at night but then wake up the next day to the sound of bird song, the view of pretty flowers and gardens and the shimmering blue waters of a swimming pool at the self-catering Villa Can Rei.

This plush five-bedroom villa is ideally located too. It is tucked away in the tranquil, rural area of San Jordi, which happens to be the closest village to the airport – a mere 10-minute drive. And as night draws in, you could head back to Ibiza Town and the action at Playa d’en Bossa within 15 minutes.

Who For

Sleeping up to eleven people, Villa Can Rei is ideal for holidaying with the extended family or a group of friends. It’s large pool area with several sunbeds, a substantial BBQ area and large alfresco dining table means celebrating a special anniversary or birthday or even a stag or hen do is easy.

Accommodation and Living Space

The first floor features two double bedrooms overlooking the pool and two twin bedrooms with their own private balconies. All the rooms are spacious, clean, with comfortable bedding and air-conditioning. The master bedroom is ensuite and has its own walk-in wardrobe and safe. On the ground floor, there is also one single bedroom and a sofa bed.

The living and the dining rooms take up much of the ground floor alongside a fully-equipped kitchen. There is another living room on the first floor.

Food and Drink

The kitchen is fully-equipped including a microwave, oven, fridge/freezer, toaster and a coffee machine with doors that lead to the patio and the barbecue area. Newcomers are greeted with food hamper with fresh bread, olive and meet pates, chorizo, cheeze, fruit, bottle of red wine, and bottles of still and sparkling water.

Tip: There is a local supermarket short drive away. If you fancy eating out, we recommend the gastronomic Clandestino Restaurant in Playa d’en Bossa.

Getting There

Car hire is essential if you are staying at Villa Can Rei. We rented one from Europcar at Ibiza Airport and the representatives from Ibiza Summer Villas were waiting for us at the airport to accompany us to the villa. The villa is less than 10 minutes drive from the airport.
