Bella Forada

About this property

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. This white-washed Finca with its “circular tower" comprises of a bedroom on each of the two floors. There are five bedrooms on the first floor and two on the ground floor, one of which has a separate entrance (possibly ideal for the less mobile).  There is a separate Annex building which houses two additional double bedded rooms.  

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, and a separate Jacuzzi. 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.

Bella 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.
