Overview
This attractive 300-year old finca has been fully modernised and offers modern creature comforts - like Ac and fast wifi - in a gorgeous traditional setting. The gardens are spectacular, with a pretty pool area, fishpond and palm trees. The pool area is separate from the house and has a dining area for 10 people. There are three other dining areas in separate parts of the extensive gardens. The house has good furniture and excellent beds and there is airconditioning in all the main bedrooms as well as the main (of two) kitchens
Ca'n Armat is located in the heart of Ibiza's country restaurant area, mid way between fashionable Santa Gertrudis and San Lorenzo. Santa Gertrudis, with it many bars, restaurants and supermarkets is a 10 minute drive. The nearest beach - the fabulous Benirras - is only a 12 minute drive away
The house has three large en-suite bedrooms, a large single and two single bedrooms. Five bath/shower rooms in total (but we limit the number of guests to 8 as it's less pressure on the house
It appeals to guests who want a traditional Ibiza finca experience with modern comforts, and appreciate the quiet location, It is not available to large groups of young single people/ "party people" for obvious reasons

Lovely big house situated in a quiet part of ibiza. Well kept grounds, with well appointed bedrooms. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Thank you Paul and Robin for the most heavenly week. We fell in love with your magical home, leaving was the hardest part of the week. It was the perfect retreat for us, our friends and wild children. An ideal location near town but down a gorgeous bumpy road which allowed an ideal blend of sociability and solitude. The finca is satisfyingly authentic and feels like arriving in an old friends much loved home. The exteriors are draped in bougainvillaea with places to lounge all over the garden in shady corners and lots of places to hide from the children with a book and glass of wine! In the bedrooms things are simple, with whitewashed walls and wicker baskets. The AC was wonderful on hot afternoons, though we found ourselves not needing it most days as the house does such a wonderful job of self cooling. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything one might need and the very chic dining room was gratefully taken over for a reluctant bit of remote work. In short this finca is very special, Im almost reluctant to give a review as I don't want to many people to discover it! We look forward to coming back for years to come. Thank you thank you thank you! x
This was the perfect finca for our group- a mix of ages, couples, and one singles. We all had privacy and space with lots of glorious spots where we could all congregate for meals or chatting. The whole booking and key handover process couldn't have been better. This is a characterful and yet very comfortable home to enjoy the island from.
We booked this property for a a family holiday and had a really fabulous time. We loved the pictures when booking and found the the place itself to be even better. The value is is brilliant. We completely appreciated the amount of space we had - we were three strands of family and we all had space to be together and also to enjoy down time. We also loved eating at the different dining tables around the extensive garden, basically to follow or hide from the sun. The fina itself is historic and full of character - just my style. I dislike intensely modern sterile upgrading of properties that have no character. The locations is great for all the interesting villages of the north. We also adored the pool and really made the most of the opportunity. I was worried the pool might not be big enough but it was tremendous. We stayed two weeks and would love to go back again. I highly recommend Finca C'an Armat
We have now stayed at this finca three times twice in high summer and once in the spring. Situated towards the north in the centre of the island it is in a great position to get to the smaller beaches and little towns but still a quick drive into the airport. We have been with a large group of adults and teenagers and it worked well for all of us with lots of separate places in the magical garden for people to position themselves and not get on top of each other. There is a real kitchen for cooking and excellent utensils, the beds and linen are comfortable, the pool though small is a delightful place with a large chill out day bed which some teenagers crashed out on all night and others occupied for long siestas. You do need to ferry people in and out as it is down a long track from the road and the town is a few kilometres away but we never had a problem. It is not a house if you are looking for bright white rooms, astroturf grass and plasma screen TV's. It is lovely if you like fig, lemon and orange trees, cooking for fun and eating in a candlelit garden, visiting small bars and beach cafes, and want to spend time in your house rather than always be out.

Ca'n Armat is owned by Paul and Marjorie, of North London. We bought the finca about 15 years ago as an escape from London, and we tend to be there in the spring and autumn. We looked for a property that was in the country - for peace and quiet - and that was near to Santa Gertrudis that is, in our view, the best village in Ibiza. We also wanted an original ibiza finca, since we preferred an authentic Ibiza experience to a more sterile, square white modern villa. The finca had already been modernised when we bought it, so we have focused on restoring the extensive gardens that had been originally been designed by a famous landscape gardener, but had become neglected. It was so overgrown we didn't know we had a fishpond until some time after we bought it! The one thing we under-estimated when we bought it, was the amount of effort it takes to maintain the original dry stone walls that surround the property. They regularly fall down and need to be rebuilt, which is an expensive skill. But we feel we are custodians of an historic 300-year old ibiza finca, and it deserves to be kept in original and beautiful condition
