This is the first time I have ever written a hotel review. I was quite reluctant to do so only because I did not want to give away such a big secret. CAN PUJOLET IS A DREAM COME TRUE.

It is just the place I had always hoped of finding. It was no surprise that when I read the other reviews of the hotel, another person wrote, “it is my favorite hotel. Not just in Ibiza. In the world.” I feel exactly the same way. If I had the chance to go and stay anywhere in the world, I would chose Can Pujolet. I grew up traveling to far off places and enjoying the luxuries of 5 star resorts and I can honestly say that nothing compares to what I experience at Can Pujolet. It gives you a sense of home away from home and as a place it reminds you how to slow down, enjoy life and remember these carefree and peaceful feelings you have as a child.

While there is a certain unexplainable magic about Can Pujolet, there are also many specific details that make it such a rare find:

The hotel is situated in the idyllic countryside near the village of Santa Agnes in the north part of the island. If you are not familiar with Ibiza, it is important to understand the north side of the island has an authenticity and an understated old world charm that will make you fall in love with it and want to return again and again. While you will need a car, the island is quite small and I would not recommend staying in the city center.

Can Pujolet is designed in the traditional “finca” style of Ibiza, full of charm and relating to the history and culture of the island. The rooms are beautifully decorated and include thoughtful details like bowls full of fresh almonds that come straight from the trees on the property. The pool is perfect and loved our lazy afternoons swimming and relaxing.

The location/grounds are extraordinary. The hotel is located next to a natural reserve and is situated on the top of a hillside with beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. The grounds include orchards of plum, fig, olive and almond trees as well as a beautiful organic garden, all of which is reflected in the fresh juices and delicious meals. Just a short walk away is quite literally the most spectacular vista that I HAVE EVER SEEN. Sitting and watching the sunset in this place is something that I will not easily forget.

Nina (the owner) has lived in Ibiza since the 70’s. She has a unique perspective, warmth and generosity. She will share with you all of her favorites – beaches, restaurants, walks to explore. Having the benefit of her advice made it possible for me to see and experience hidden gems of the island that I never would have known of otherwise. With Nina, I felt as though I was a member of the extended family and will be friends for years to come.

Finally, the experience at Can Pujolet, reminded me of the benefit on the tourism industry. That being a tourist and staying in a hotel, could be so much more than a superficial experience of leisure. I left Can Pujolet, feeling fully recharged and with a new perspective. I give Can Pujolet my highest recommendation and I look forward to my next visit.

We stayed at Can Pujolet out of chance and felt so lucky to have stumbled upon it. Not only is the hotel beautiful, the setting unique and the service optimum, but the owner, Nina, takes time to sit down with you and give you precious advice on all the best spots to suit your needs. Having lived in in Ibiza for over 20 years, she knows it all and made our stay even more special.

The spot itself is amazing, with unique views of wild Ibiza hills, bush and cliffs.
All around are beautiful olive trees and figue gardens as well as tasty plums, all of this far away from the crowd.
The decor in the mansion house is refined in its simplicity.
We strongly advise room nr 4, the "junior suite" with its terrace.
One has the impression of being on his own; the way rooms are displayed allows for hardly meeting other guests, apart from when having a great meal at the pool restaurant.
The service is discreet and efficient: your room is being cleaned-up very swiftly as soon as you leave it. The restaurant staff is very pleasant.
Nina, the landlady seconded by her daughter, is there to provide guests with the best advice, always with a smile: the wildest beach or the nicest restaurant. She always makes it!
We'll be most happy to return to Can Pujolet at another occasion, and can certainly recommend that place in all confidence. Ideal for couples on their own, or with young children. Teenagers might feel a bit too far from the closest beach or club, which was precisely what we were looking for.

Spent four nights in June in Can Pujolet with my boyfriend and two other friends (also a couple). It really is as nice as the photos appear on the website. Beautiful and peaceful location and the silence is pure bliss! (The most you hear is a cockerel in the morning and the odd dog barking)

You definitely need a car when staying here as its in a very rural location circa 25 minute drive to Ibiza town. But if you are lucky you may have a friend who does not drink very much and doesn't mind driving all the time like us! Its a great location to discover much of the island particularly north and west that you may not usually get to if you stay closer to Ibiza town like me usually. We visited very lovely picturesque villages like San Carlos and Santa Gertrudis amongst many others. One great place to watch the sunset is a bar called Ashram in Playa de Cala Conta south west of San Antonio which I would recommend! Also another gorgeous restaurant I would recommend is La Plaza in Sta. Gertrudis (971 197075).

Rooms were lovely, bright and spacious and furnished in typical Spanish decor, lots of beautiful wood etc. We stayed in a standard double room for E130 which I thought was pretty reasonable compared to other places I have stayed on the island previously although this obviously takes into account the rural location. We had a lovely terrace area with table, chairs and two loungers with separate rear access to our room also. The room was cleaned every day and plenty of fresh towels etc.

The pool area was lovely and really chilled any time we hung out there. The breakfast dining area is by the pool and you can also order snacks, lunch and dinner throughout the day. The manager/owner of the place was lovely and really helpful. She gave us great tips for places to see the sunset and beaches etc. The only member of staff that was rude and unfriendly was one of the guys who served us breakfast most mornings and it seemed to be a problem each time we came to breakfast and asked for basic breakfast items (yoghurt for granola) which they had one morning and then the next they seemed to have run out of everything! Also didn't think there was enough basic items like fresh fruit and pasteries but I guess its a personal thing so depends on what you like for breakfast! He didn't seem to like that we needed a table for 4 each morning and made a big deal of setting 4 places up even though after the 1st morning he should have expected it. We suspected he was just being lazy and annoyed that we turned up to breakfast 10 minutes before it ended which was 11am by the way! (we are on holidays after all).

However that was the only negative thing I could say about Can Pujolet and pretty much everything else was really great. Would totally recommend this agroturismo as long as you realise you are a good drive from Ibiza town and the general south of island if you wanna go there in the evening but if you are just looking for some place to chill and relax and not bothered about heading into Ibiza in the evening then this is PERFECT!

One thing to mention the owner has the most beautiful dog called Sua who is a golden retriever and just gorgeous and very friendly so if you love dogs you are in for a treat!

Also for those people with kids, I only saw one couple with a small baby whilst I was there so they are clearly open for business for families.

There are only a handful of loungers and parasols around the pool so I could see it getting busy and having no lounger if you came to the pool in the late afternoon and all the guests had decided to hang by the pool that day.

There is free WIFI here but for whatever reason you cannot access it from the bedroom and only the ground floor area of the main house or the pool area.
