Overview
Bella Forada is a traditional Spanish Finca that has been beautifully restored to its full glory without skimping on luxury. From the electronically-gated entrance an impressive driveway will lead you to the house.
Once you step through the front door, of the main house, you can see many examples of ‘great effort’ that has been made to ensure that the smallest of details has a Spanish feel, whilst offering guests the very highest standards of comfort and luxury. Whilst the use of dark wooden support-beams uphold the ceiling, carefully chosen pieces of real wooden furniture (made from Teak, Walnut and/or Mahogany) are strategically placed throughout the Finca, including the four-poster bed, to accentuate the country feel. The Spanish terracotta tiles line the floors throughout the property and the whitewashed walls, soft white/cream furnishings, bed-linen and drapes provide a sense of airy-coolness amidst the semi-dry landscape. Though, it is the delightful exterior of Finca Bella Forada that provides its wow-factor. Surrounded by a well maintained and discreetly fenced garden, with the rolling olive, lemon and lime groves stretched out beyond, the outdoor space seems never-ending, yet incredibly private.
The garden and terraced areas are floodlit for those warm summer evenings when it is necessary to cool-off by the pool, whilst listening to the singing Cicadas. At its heart lies the beautiful kidney-shaped swimming pool with Roman-style steps, perfect for cooling off in the Spanish sunshine! The pool is surrounded by Balinese style four-poster sun-loungers with linen curtains for added protection, should you find the sun a little unbearable. The pool has also got built-in tiled stools, for those wishing to remain comfortably seated with a drink, whilst enjoying the Ibizian sun.

Location
About the surrounding area of Bella ForadaBella Forada is only a short distance from Ibiza Town, in the middle of the Island surrounded by rich countryside and fruit trees, is Santa Gertrudis de Fruiter (hence the name). At its heart is the church of Santa Gertrudis, founded in 1797. The façade and the belfry have been altered several times and date back to the 19th century; and no doubt your eye will be drawn to its simple lines and striking colours that contrast against the surrounding greenery and the blue skies.
This once sleepy, whitewashed village has been influenced by modernity and art in a positive way. In the 1960’s it was the original hang-out of hippies, artists and musicians gathered. Often out of work, penniless and hungry, they used their art-work to barter for goods and services. At Bar Costa, located at Plaça de l'Església, hang some of the original paintings contributed by these artists. The artistic influence has prompted the opening of many galleries and this in turn has drawn a modern but 'Bohemian' style of living to the area.
A gentle wander around the town will bring with it pleasant surprises, like the funky boutiques and artisan shops. This hip village is not overrun by trendy restaurants, chic cafes, bohemian bars and traditional tapas! For the Vegetarian and Vegans, try the Wild Beets, with a menu of raw, vegan and plant-based cuisine! Grab a seat outside one of the many cafés in the square, order a drink plus an Iberian cured-ham bocadillo (baguettes) and just soak in the atmosphere of this little Ibizian gem. This really is the perfect rural getaway, a quiet town but with enough life and fun for an evening out with the locals.

THE REGION
At the geographical heart of the island, the village of Santa Gertrudis is Ibiza as a microcosm. Steeped in tradition, the main square is overlooked by the whitewashed fortress church with its distinctive yellow tower and surrounded by a cluster of bars, restaurants and shops. Meanwhile, the rich agricultural landscape surrounding the village is home to fruit orchards, sheep, goats and the island's only dairy cows.
The town itself is an attraction. Nearby is the gorgeous Benirrás beach with its beach club Elements Ibiza and hippie bongo drummers playing as the sun goes down on Sundays. Shopping is hard to resist with many lovely boutiques and the auction house Casi Todo to pick up some antiques. There are several annual festivals in Santa Gertrudis, including the Domingo del Arte art festival and the blessing of the animals in the church.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesAs Bella Forada is a great family villa, there’s lots to do with the kids in the surrounding region.

In Vía Púnica you’ll find Escape Rooms Ibiza, which is a completely immersive interactive adventure and problem-solving gaming scenario. This is great for the kids and it’s a real test of their guile. Who knows, you might discover your daughter or son outwitting you!
Assuming the weather is good (which is a certainty), make your way down to Figueretas for some Kayaking & Stand Up Paddling. Here you’ll find clear waters with next to no waves. So, there’s no excuses for losing your balance and making a splash!After the days fun and excitement, you are spoilt for choice in terms of restaurants and places to eat.

Parents, sons, their wives and grandchildren
The Villa is very spacious, with excellent areas for the family to gather together both inside and out. The outside kitchen worked well for lunches and dinners. It is very well equipped with excellent appliances (as was the main kitchen) with one of the most impressive dining tables any of us have ever seen! There is ample outside space both around the pool and in the shade, which proved very useful in the heat of the day, with the elevated position offering beautiful views. Also the games room is great for keeping young kids entertained when you would rather they weren't in the sun, with a pool table, table tennis and table football. The owners were incredibly friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Whilst there is little in the immediate area, nothing is very far away. There is a choice of several supermarkets and restaurants in nearby San Antonio (10-15 mins away) whilst the airport minutes is only 20 minute away. We enjoyed our stay tremendously and look forward to returning.
