Ibiza...Quiet enough to think...

A hopping island off the coast of Spain

Known for it's rockin' nightlife

has a quiet side too...

...And on this quiet side, where there are no hotels or beaches... there is a slower pace.

A Mexican pace.

Particularly at the house of Rosa Maria Esteva.

Added to throughout the years,

with terraces and little corners open to the fresh air

and the sea.

The red coloring is made of natural pigments

melding with salt air...and time.

perfect.

The pool in this unique abode is terraced

off of the roof...The view...divine.

On the seaside, a small terrace offers a simple but beautiful view of fishing huts

that were the starting point of this home.

slow, simple, quiet.

The interior is left pure and authentic...

allowing the views to take

center stage.
