Review submitted by victoria from woodbridge 30 Aug 2011 we loved it! the villa is exactly as described, relaxing,spacious and brilliantly situated, and the owners hospitality is the icing on the cake! Review submitted by Johan & Stina from Stockholm 26 Jul 2011 Lovely residence in a very quiet place! The pool and garden area was far over our expectations so also the apartments big terrace. It was clean and had all the facilities for 4 people. The owners was absolutely fantastic and lovely to meet! Very nice couple! The only thing that could have been better is the bed in the apartment-bedroom which was a bit too short for my husband. The terrace-bedroom was absolutely fantastic! Overall.... a fantastic place we really can recommend! Review submitted by stephen from seaford east sussex 9 Nov 2010 More than 1 mnute to beaches ! but only 5 minutes slightly rough walk. However beaches well worth it. Apartment clean and reasonably well equipped. Only real downside being the kitchen - very small and not very well designed or equipped. Apartment ina very good position with nice views in the best part of the island Review submitted by Rob from Sanderstead 1 Oct 2010 Loved the accomodation and the local area. Was unsure how it would work out with owners living below but they were perfect in every regard. Not too intrusive yet there to offer sound advice and help whenever called upon. We didnt have a car and didnt feel that we needed one. Look forward to returing - thank you Review submitted by Alison from Chester 22 Sep 2010 The property was well set out and had a lovely roof terrace. The decor seemed a bit tired in the kitchen and bathrooms. It was in a great location and the owners were very helpful. Review submitted by Nina from Barnet 6 Sep 2010 The property is brilliantly located - with easy walking access to two very nice beaches and a short car journey to other places of interest. However, we were disappointed to find that one of the two bedrooms advertised was in a self-contained building at the other end of the terrace. This was not made explicitly clear in the advertisment and was wholly unsuitable for a family with young children. We ended up having to sleep 4 to the aparment using the double bed, a camp bed and the sofa! Had this been made explicit we wouldnt have chosen the apartment at this stage as it is better suited to 2 couples or perhaps families with older children who are comfortable with the children sleeping in a separate building. 21 Aug 2010 (quote from visitors book) "Had a brillant holiday in Ibiza,could not have asked for a more beautiful villa with

Review by Veronica Bailey from LondonOCTOBER 2004 Arriving on Ibiza, with only a 20 minute drive from the airport to Casa Alegria, there is a realization that you can be relaxing in the sun by the pool, within the tropical green surroundings so typical of Niu Blau, in a matter of 3 hours from London Stanstead. This traditional detached spanish villa has spacious accommodation suitable for both family and friends, with enough bathrooms, terraces, and garden for you all to relax either together or in your own sun-spot. The large private roof terrace above the main house can be a separate apartment with your own barbecue and views across this fertile land. The perfect place to watch the sun go down in the evening. And in the morning a sublime window view from the bathroom, of olive trees basking in morning sun within the rich red soil reminds you of why you are on holiday. Downstairs sleeps 6-8 (with 3 en-suite double bedrooms) and the large living room opens out onto a stone veranda which overlooks the pool. This area is where the entertaining gets going. A large wooden table and chairs, sheltered from the sun if need be, are the best seats in the house. Once the music is tempo, and the beverages flowing, one can forget the day and time and loose oneself in the beautiful, ambient surroundings that Andrew and Catherine have so successfully created. Dinning 'al fresco' is the best way to enjoy Casa Alegria but should you be recovering from a night or lunch in Ibiza town and needing to get away from the heat of the sun, each bedroom is tastefully decorated, with cool egyptian cotton sheets and fluffy white towels. You can re-charge with a disco nap /siesta before relaxing in this Ibiza's perpetual motion.

Review by James Straffon from London (jstraffon@blueyonder.co.uk)OCTOBER 2004 The only downside to staying at Casa Alegria, is you might not see much of Ibiza. Such is the inherent tranquility - from residing amongst fragrant pines, a stones throw from an undisturbed, sheltered beach - you will almost definitely want to indulge yourself, by experiencing every inch of this rustic, characterful oasis. Well-positioned to sample Ibiza's varied markets and towns, we found Casa Alegria provided an ideal base to get into 'island life'. But you can equally stock-up with wares and kick back in this charming haven and let the world go by. Whether lounging around the pool, or feasting to the ubiquitous accompaniment of evening Cicadas, there's scope to relax and unwind, in excess.
