Ibossim, Ebusus, Yehbisa, Eivissa, Ibiza!

Attraverso le epoche ovviamente non è sempre stato il posto che è oggi. Ha una lunga e ricca storia intrecciata nella sua gente e nella sua architettura.

La città (e naturalmente l'isola!) fu scoperta dai cartaginesi nel 654 a.C., il che la rende una delle prime città d'Europa. La chiamarono Ibossim. Curiosamente, questo significa 'Città di Bes'. Bes era il dio egizio della musica e della danza. Forse avevano capito qualcosa!

La città fu rinominata Ebusus nel 123 a.C. dai romani conquistatori. Si può vedere la prova di questo dove le statue romane sorvegliano le porte d'ingresso della città vecchia di Ibiza.

La caduta dell'impero romano nel V secolo vide la città cadere in abbandono. Infatti, fu conquistata dai Vandali e dai Bizantini negli anni fino al IX secolo, quando arrivarono gli arabi. La chiamarono Yehbisa.

Le reliquie del dominio arabo, come le mura fortificate e le torri di guardia, rimangono. Anche se la loro influenza è forse meglio rappresentata nel dialetto dell'isola 'Ibicenco', e lo stile di abbigliamento indossato ancora oggi dai tradizionalisti ibiceni.

Nel 1235 arrivarono i catalani, portando con sé il cristianesimo. Sostituirono le moschee con le chiese e costruirono la splendida cattedrale di Dalt Vila. Hanno anche dato alla città il suo attuale nome catalano, Eivissa.

Le mura che circondano Dalt Vila sono il risultato della fortificazione dell'architetto italiano Calvi nel XVI secolo. Furono costruite per difendere la città dai frequenti e brutali attacchi dei pirati che infestavano la città.

Queste mura e la città racchiusa al loro interno sono state nominate patrimonio mondiale dell'UNESCO nel 1999, e sono un grande esempio della città nel suo insieme. Con ogni cambio di regola, ogni cambio di cultura, ogni cambio di religione, la nuova fase non ha cancellato la precedente, ma l'ha solo incorporata al presente.

L'opinione generale della città di Ibiza oggi è di libertà, impresa e relax. Quando i liberisti fuggirono dalla Spagna continentale di Franco verso l'isola alla fine degli anni '50, la città di Ibiza divenne un rifugio per scrittori, poeti, artisti e musicisti. Questa fu la nascita della città come è conosciuta oggi, dato che le discoteche furono costruite a metà degli anni '60 sulla scia della cultura hippy.

Staying at the villa was absolutely lovely! The atmosphere was beautiful, and the views were breathtaking. The spacious rooms were beautifully decorated, making it feel like a home away from home. We enjoyed lounging by the pool and the outdoor space was perfect for relaxing evenings and game night with the family (games was also provided in the villa). It was a clean, secure, and comfortable place… our family will recommend this Villa to anyone, special mention to Maria she was absolutely amazing and really helpful… as we struggled with ordering taxis if we messaged her, she always responded fast and helped in the best way possible. Overall,…

Stayed in Villa Mali for 5 nights in June and couldn’t have been happier. Such a beautiful villa, in a perfectly quiet location but walking distance from some cute restaurants and the supermarkets so we didn’t need a car. Getting a taxi was easy via the app and was an easy 20-25 minute drive from San Antonio. The facilities in the villa were fab, there was everything we needed to have a comfortable and relaxing stay. I loved the outside area with pool and dining/cooking space. This is the second time we have used Ibiza Summer Villas, their service is excellent and they really take care of you. I’m sure we will be back in one of their accommod…

Our group recently stayed at this villa in Ibiza and had a very enjoyable experience. The location is ideal for a group of young people, offering privacy and a peaceful atmosphere with no direct neighbors. The garden is spacious and well-maintained, providing plenty of room for outdoor activities. We appreciated the quiet surroundings, which allowed us to relax and enjoy our time at the villa. Vicky, the host, was accommodating and made sure we had what we needed for a pleasant stay. Her helpfulness added to the overall positive experience. We had a great time at this villa and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet and spacious …

Our group of 14 recently spent a week at this incredible villa in Ibiza, and it was perfect for our needs. The villa was spotless and well-maintained, exceeding our expectations in every way. The spacious and comfortable setup made it easy for everyone to enjoy their stay without feeling crowded. The pool area was a standout feature, providing a fantastic spot to relax and soak up the sun for all of us. One small suggestion would be to remind people to pay extra for pool towels like we did. The villa's location was excellent, with reliable taxi services given to us by Ibiza summer villas that made getting around the island effortless thank yo…

We had such a lovely time in Villa Mali with our group of friends. Everything we needed was there. Well maintained garden and pool area. Loved the luxury of an indoor and outdoor kitchen. Good beds. Supermarket within walking distance and located in the lovely area of the nice little village of San jordi. Service from ibiza summer villa very suberb. Clear and quick responding with a very hands-on conciërge service. Would definately book a villa again (or stay again in villa Mali even!!)

Incredible stay at Ibiza summer villas in July. We stayed in Villa Blanca and it is perfect for 10 people (5 couples). 6th bedroom is adjoining another so not as good. Our villa was in great condition. All rooms were spacious and the kitchen was in pristine condition with all utensils. Pool was awesome and there’s a good drinks area too

We stayed at Can Senyora and it was a really beautiful villa in a lovely remote quiet area. We stayed for 4 nights and have enjoyed every second. Great communication from the agency, who were always on hand if we needed anything. The view from the villa and the pool were the highlights for me.
