If you are planning a holiday in Ibiza and want more than just sun, sea and nightlife, there is a unique option available that offers history, space and complete tranquillity. A fully restored 18th-century farmhouse (known as casa payesa) called Can Ferrer is now available for short-term rentals, offering an ideal base for travellers looking to experience the more authentic, rural side of the island.
An alternative to the typical Ibiza holiday
Most tourists head straight to Ibiza’s beaches, clubs and beach bars. But inland, the island has an entirely different personality, one marked by quiet landscapes, agricultural traditions and historical homes like Can Ferrer. Located in the countryside, this rural property allows you to disconnect from crowds and enjoy a stay rooted in simplicity and comfort.
With a strong focus on sustainability, heritage and nature, this farmhouse provides a valuable alternative to resort-style tourism. Whether you are a couple looking for privacy, a family needing space, or a group of friends wanting a shared experience, this rental is a flexible and memorable choice.
A property with centuries of history
The estate where Can Ferrer stands was originally a working farm dedicated to agriculture and livestock. Sheep, goats, pigs, chickens and rabbits once roamed the land, and the fields were used to grow cereals, legumes, almonds, grapes and carob. The house was also a place where local workers gathered to produce traditional products like wine, cheese and olive oil.
A key feature still visible today is the original trull, the olive oil press, which has been preserved as part of the house’s historical character. These details reflect the property’s deep ties to the rural economy that shaped Ibiza for generations.
Restored with care, preserving the original identity
In 2015, the farmhouse was fully renovated. The project prioritised the preservation of the original architecture while updating the space to meet the needs of modern travellers. The thick whitewashed stone walls, wooden beams and traditional layout were kept intact, offering a sense of continuity with the past.
The result is a home that feels authentic, comfortable and functional. Unlike many tourist properties that feel standardised or impersonal, Can Ferrer retains a strong identity, making the stay more meaningful and enjoyable.
Spacious and fully equipped
The house includes six bedrooms, making it suitable for larger groups. The layout includes three double bedrooms, one suite, one triple room and one twin room, offering flexibility for different types of travellers. In total, the house can comfortably accommodate multiple families or a large group of friends.
Guests also have access to a living room, a spacious kitchen-dining area, two covered porches, an interior courtyard, a saltwater swimming pool, a barbecue and a large outdoor dining area. A private parking area is available on site.
The outdoor spaces are particularly well suited for relaxing, cooking and spending time together, something that sets this property apart from many smaller or more compact rentals on the island.
Extra details that make a difference
The rental includes a set of complimentary items that improve the experience and reduce the need to bring basic supplies. Guests receive welcome items such as coffee, tea, olive oil and salt, as well as bath and pool towels, shower gel, shampoo and fabric softener.
These thoughtful extras make the stay more convenient and enjoyable from the moment you arrive. Instead of worrying about the basics, guests can settle in and start enjoying their holiday right away.
A quiet location, close to nature
Staying at Can Ferrer puts you in the heart of the Ibizan countryside, away from traffic and noise. It is a great location for hiking, cycling or visiting local villages. You can also explore traditional markets, taste local produce or simply relax on the property surrounded by nature.
This is an excellent choice for those who value privacy, quiet and a connection to the land, something that is often difficult to find in more commercial tourist areas.
A premium experience with space and privacy
The price is €1,285 per night, with a minimum booking of three nights. While this places it in the higher-end market, the house offers significant value for groups and families. Its size, features and location justify the cost for those seeking a different, more meaningful way to experience Ibiza.
Instead of staying in a hotel or resort, this property allows guests to live in a traditional home, enjoy more freedom and experience the island in a slower, more personal way.
Book your stay in rural Ibiza
Can Ferrer is available, but availability is limited, especially during the high season. If you are interested in a unique holiday experience that goes beyond the usual Ibiza itinerary, this property is worth considering.
