Shopping

There's a Spar up the road for basic provisions; for anything a little more ambitious you'll have to wend your way through the winding mountain road to the big supermarket in San Josep. The shop that steals the headlines around here though isn't anything as humdrum as a grocery store – the owners of the villa have an acclaimed interiors shop called Ksar which sells their hand-sourced global furnishings (twig-framed mirrors, Ganesh statues, embroidered Indian drapes) as well as bespoke bathroom fittings as well as stylish bags and other accessories (www.ksarliving.com).

Housekeeping

The villa is given an overhaul three times a week.

Getting there



Planes Planes Iberia, British Airways and EasyJet all fly into Ibiza airport, which is about five miles southwest of Ibiza Town. Direct flights take a little over two hours from the UK. Ryanair flies direct from the UK out of season. If you’re not hiring a car, taxis from the rank outside the airport are metred and reasonable.




Directions by road From the airport, go in the direction of San Josep (it'll be signposted as soon as you leave the airport). Go through San Josep and take the first turning on the left. There's a pizza restaurant on the left-hand side and signposts to lots of beaches, including Cala Carbo. Follow the signs to Cala Carbo and you'll see the big sign for the shop Ksar as you come into Cala Carbo. Someone from there can direct you to the house.

Darshan, their private home, really showcases their signature just-so style

Review


This is one of a small cluster of holiday homes in peaceful Cala Carbo. Yvonne and Alberto are the owners and the interior designers behind them, and both have travelled the world sourcing the most incredible pieces to furnish the villas with Moroccan textiles through to Indonesian carved panels.

This property, Darshan, is their private home and it really showcases their signature just-so style, as well as showcasing iconic furniture including original Gaudí chairs and Minotti sofas.

20 minutes from Ibiza Town and 10 minutes from Sant Josep,this super-stylish self-catering house from their Harissa villa collection is fantastically quiet for such a well-appointed part of the island.
