A whitewashed village around a church square in the exact centre of the island, 15 minutes from every coast. It is the address most people mean when they say they want a finca in the Ibiza countryside.
The short answer
Santa Gertrudis de Fruitera sits in the middle of Ibiza, about 12 km north of Ibiza Town and 20 minutes from the airport. It has no beach: people come for the pedestrian square with its bars and restaurants, the art galleries and the country houses with pools in the surrounding fields. From here Sant Antoni, Santa Eulalia and the north coast are all 15 to 20 minutes by car.

The village is tiny: one square in front of the church, a ring of restaurants and shops around it and the fields of almond and carob trees beyond. Its position is the point. Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni, Santa Eulalia and the north coast beaches like Benirras and Cala Xarraca are all within 20 minutes, which is why the countryside around it holds so many rental houses.
If you want the Ibiza of stone walls, quiet nights and a pool under the pines, this is where we send you. You will drive every day, so we usually pair the house with a small car.
