Casa del Olivo

An oasis of seclusion in the heart of Ibiza. This sprawling six-bedroom estate for rent combines hacienda living with design-led interiors.

Moments from the cultural jewel of Santa Gertrudis, neat olive groves make for a verdant backdrop to this impressive rental villa. The home is arranged around a courtyard centred by a trickling water feature. From here, myriad spaces offer an array of options for embracing the Ibizan lifestyle.

A renovated barn is dramatic in volume, rustic in style. Exposed brick stretches upward towards knotted wood beams that cross the vaulted ceiling. Industrial lights illuminate a generous dining area with seating for 14 – ideal for entertaining. Stone flooring sweeps into a bright living area made for reclining after meals. The barn flows directly into a service kitchen with stainless steel worktops, chef-worthy appliances and a professional-grade coffee machine. Fully equipped, this space has tableware for 30 people.

An additional family kitchen is a picture of farmhouse perfection. Rich wood tones and terracotta floor tiles pair with cosy banquette seating and low-slung beams. A wood-burning stove completes the look while an induction hob makes for a welcome intervention. This space leads into the living room – a comfortable, convivial spot characterised by a high ceiling and an Ibicenco-style open fireplace.

Outside, rare cacti border the courtyard with lime render walls appearing stripped back – to reveal honey-toned brickwork underneath. A staircase leads up past one of several outdoor living areas to a 14-metre pool with chillout, barbecue and sunbathing areas. Via a slide, a raised hot tub leads directly into the pool. Beyond, fragrant herbs, mature fruit trees and a luscious lawn combine to create grounds worth exploring. A hidden chillout area sits underneath a fig tree.

The home’s principal bedroom suite enjoys stone flooring dating back more than 500 years. This room also benefits from a balcony, a king-size bed and a terrazzo-tiled bathroom with a dual vanity and a frameless rainfall shower. The main house encompasses three additional bedrooms while a further two bedrooms feature their own private entrances. All have sabina wood ceilings, cooling stone walls and high-speed Wi-Fi.
