Olive Leaves

Minimalist and linear in design, the bright white exterior of this villa contrasts beautifully with the perfect blue skies overhead. Backed by forested hills and surrounded by extensive grounds, this Ibiza retreat is wonderfully private and peaceful. Transformed from a traditional farm into a stylish home, there’s evidence of the old life of the place throughout the grounds. The owners have retained the original irrigation system as a point of interest, and age-old olive trees take pride of place on the manicured lawns. Guests can make the most of an vibrant orchard, plucking oranges, lemons, cherries and quince from the branch. There’s also a prolific organic vegetable patch and the gardener comes in daily to tend to both and pick fresh produce for the guests. Large floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors invite the outside in, making this home perfect for indoor/outdoor living. The roomy interior echoes the building’s aesthetic, with polished concrete surfaces and natural tones of cream and honeyed wood. This is a place to sit back and soak in the beauty of life, with the scent of blossom on the breeze and the promise of sun, swims and soirées in this sensational home.
