CAN CURREU - REVIEW
The northeast of Ibiza is so much more civilised than the rest of the island, and this hotel - our favourite in Ibiza - is the epitome of rustic style. Rather than lager and foam parties, you get Moet in your minibar and aromatherapy oils for your jacuzzi. With a glass of one and a soak in the other, you can (so long as you get it the right way round) enjoy a wonderfully decadent experience that's straight out of Dynasty.
But that's just the aperitif. Stay awhile and there's a feast of pleasures: stone pathways lined with fruit trees, roses and cacti; a field of sunflowers amid glorious pine hills; sublime dinners of foie gras, lamb and fine wines; a serene pool surrounded by hot-pink bougainvillea; speedboats at your disposal; and warm, friendly staff. It's very easy on the eye and, despite being first-class, is delightfully relaxed and unpretentious. The 10 rooms are spacious and stylish, with comfy kingsized beds, private sun terraces and quirky details - ours had brass bellows for the wood fire, a picture frame filled with sea knots and an old-fashioned telephone. We loved it. |
