Delicious little hideaway

We discovered Lourdes' place by chance, last minute, when we were getting disenchanted with the naff, overpriced, characterless 'villas' littering Ibiza. What a haven. It's about 2km down a bumpy, pine forested track in the stunning northern part of the island, so you feel thoroughly 'off piste' and away from the rest of the island. Lourdes has decked it out very simply, but beautifully. The heat of mid-summer in Ibiza means you're mostly outdoors, so you don't need tonnes of creature comforts. The fridge is cold, the shower lovely (moulded around huge boulders in its own little, mosaic room), the beds super comfy and everything's spotless. There are some delightful touches that show the sort of love Lourdes has put into this place (which is usually used as accommodation for the yoga retreat, hidden in the trees just down the hill): little star-like mirror shards in the bathroom ceiling, blue glass beads pushed into the adobe-esque walls. I could go on. If you're after Ibizan luxury, this isn't for you. But if you want a real retreat, a place with soul in one of the more remote corners of Ibiza (but only 25 mins from Ibiza town), this will be just the thing. I will be recommending it and, I hope, going back. Thank you Lourdes.
