Description: La Esencia is a classic five bedroom traditional finca that has been sensitively restored to offer all the modern amenities and comforts you might expect. The 320 square metres and 118 square metre two bedroom casita sit in ample landscaped gardens tucked away down a long drive.
Internal layout: At La Esencia and its accompanying casita the timeless aspects of Ibizan architecture – whitewashed walls, simple flowing lines, wooden beams and flagstone tiles – have been retained and blended with modern comforts such as underfloor heating. From the large, modern kitchen to the living areas, there’s plenty of space in which to gather or to enjoy peace and quiet.

Outdoor layout: Along with a large pool set in a 90 square metre pool area with generous terrace, the grounds of La Esencia include a traditional Spanish-style courtyard perfect for life alfresco. The sensitively landscaped gardens add to the sense of tranquillity. Should you wish, there’s room to extend the gardens into the corral area. You also have your own tower protected by Ibiza’s Cultural Heritage Department which could be converted into a wine cellar or hangout for your children.

Our three favourite things about the home: The combination of rustic simplicity with stylish contemporary design. The pool and the large surrounding space in which to gather. Proximity to the airport.

Perfect for: Families who love to entertain.
