This week’s featured property is beyond stunning -it’s a masterpiece and my ideal vacation home. This house is what all the other vacation houses want to look like, but this is understandable -did you see the pool?! Host ibizacountry brings us this villa, which was constructed just last year and features gorgeous views of the sea and old city. During a normal day here you might have to decide between tanning by the pool or the garden, or enjoying a bite to eat in the spacious first-floor lounge or on the terrace overlooking the city. Decisions, decisions! (We don’t feel bad for you). Make sure to check out the rest of the pictures below and let us know where in this house you would put a hammock. (Hint: “anywhere” is the right answer).

You can wake up and be poolside faster than you can say "I'm glad I'm not shoveling my driveway".

Here is where you'll craft all of your snacks and special cocktails -I mean, granola and protein shakes. We're still doing this New Years resolution thing, right?

You can hide under this table when your family tells you that it's time to go home.
