Flowering Azaleas

Flowering Azaleas: Balearic Islands

With sensual paintings, rattan light coverings, and plenty of heavy oak furniture, this glamorous villa in the Ibizan countryside has regal touches in abundance. While the home has been refurbished recently, original features such as cavernous brick ceilings and arched walls maintain its character. Bedrooms are equally as plush, with carved headboards and open bathrooms each sporting a concrete rainfall shower. The double-height ceilings in the main house ensure plenty of space to socialise, with a grand dining table and second mezzanine level, if you want to keep an eye on the action. Days are spent relaxing by the pine-fringed pool on one of the loungers. Hungry? Don't worry about going inside. A fully stocked outdoor kitchen, with a fridge and microwave, is on hand for an alfresco feast. When you're done, nab a space on the grey sofas underneath the pergola for cold glasses of wine in the Mediterranean sunshine.
