Description Countryside Siesta: Cap de Barbaria

Step out onto the veranda and you won’t believe the gorgeous, stretching landscape is all yours. The pastoral horizon seems to never end, showcasing the blissful privacy of your hidden resort. It’s your own rural palace.

This blissful retreat, amongst the tranquil southwest corner of Formentera, is your personal paradise. Wander amidst the striking scenery under the gentle warmth of the Mediterranean climate, feeling the sun kiss your skin and the crisp air fill your lungs.

After exploring the scenery, the freshness of the pool provides the perfect sanctuary to while away those lazy afternoons. Sun-loungers, chairs and benches surround the water, offering social spaces for post-siesta pleasure. There’s even a hammock to really settle into the slow-paced lifestyle.

The villa houses eight people, yet the wide space means it never feels crowded. If you want to venture beyond the perimetres of your home, San Francesc, the capital of the region, is just an eleven minute drive. Find quintessentially Spanish shops, cafes, and restaurants, serving finely-cooked meats, fruit and wine.
