Ibiza’s Fabulous Agriturismo Hotels
As little as a decade ago Eivissa only had a handful of rural agriturismos however today you can find more than 20 spread around, and it has now become something of a buzzword on the island. At first the word, which originated in Italy, referred to working farms that let a few rooms, often in somewhat “farmy” farm buildings, to add to their incomes.
These days, because of the popularity of the idea, the idea is far more flexible – they are usually more stylish than rustic, and in many the farming now plays second fiddle. However, all guarantee traditional buildings set in fields or woodland, with fresh local food and peace and quiet by the bucketload.
The beauty of Ibiza, an island that is only 50km by 20km, is that you can base yourself in a rustic isolated rural hotel at the far end of a bumpy dirt track and still only be a short drive from clubs, fabulous restaurants and a vast choice of perfect coves.
Visit Ibiza in late September or October and you avoid the high-season crowds. Prices drop, the locals have more time to chat, and with daily highs of 24-27C it’s still warm enough to swim and laze by the pool.
All prices are for October 2010 and include breakfast (unless stated).
