Can Asana

Fun and funky finca with a rambling interior, a personalised service and gorgeous hilltop views (sleeps 8-12)

When Alberto and Yvonne fell in love 10 years ago, Ibiza also benefited. They married and moved here (she from Amsterdam, he from living in India) to set up a business creating stylish self-catering villas for the rental market. Yvonne is an interior designer and architect, Alberto a former fashion designer, and this is one of the largest and loveliest of their babies, sleeping up to 12. It's ideal for groups of friends and extended families, offering total privacy and independence along with a big dollop of style.

Once a traditional finca, Can Asana is big - and then some. Every room seems to lead on to another, or a corridor with more rooms leading off it, and there are endless spaces to relax in groups or more privately. The garden is fairly spacious, with a higher and lower level, but what's really cool about this place are the views. Situated in the northeast of the island, it's high on a hill with wonderful panoramics of the Mediterranean sea - and set in 7 acres of private pine forest. There's a massive square pool with sunloungers dotted around it, heaps of cushioned sofas to relax on and not a neighbour in sight. It's shabby in parts, but has a atmospheric, cosy feel; this is the place to come if you want a noisy fun week with friends.
