The pure essence of rural Ibiza. At the edge of a mysterious forest where ancient stone walls meander across the red soil. A moist and fertile terrain with Eleanor the falcon circling above. A 200-year-old ‘finca’ in the true sense of the word, its primary purpose being agriculture. This is Ibiza’s traditional architecture blending in with the steep cliffs and the open landscapes of Es Amunts. In the north of the Island where the last genets and pine martens have their lairs. An undiscovered jewel in the Western Mediterranean with as yet unspoilt coves. Amongst olive, sabina and almond trees you can hear the early morning song of the goldfinch and blackbird and later watch the barn owl swoop through the night. Eternal tranquillity.
