The charismatic founder of the fashion boutique Annie&rsquo;s Ibiza has lived in Dalt Vila for ten years. She gives us her tips for the best tables, the hippest galleries and the most under-the-radar hangouts in Ibiza&rsquo;s UNESCO-protected Old Town.

This is absolutely my top spot. It&rsquo;s a French restaurant directly opposite my shop, and I eat there almost every night. It&rsquo;s so pretty, with little wooden tables and the most charming atmosphere. My favourite dish if I&rsquo;m feeling naughty is the famous macaroons &ndash; they are to die for.

La Scala

This is my secret place!&nbsp; I love <a href="http://la-scala.com/">La Scala</a>, it&rsquo;s a hidden gem that&rsquo;s been there for years. There are only about eight tables, and they sit beneath a canopy of trees. It&rsquo;s candlelit and so romantic.

I love walking to the top of the castle by the church at the top at night and looking at the twinkly view of Ibiza. I always stop to have an obligatory drink at <a href="https://www.google.com/maps?q=Bar+Sant+Cir%C3%ADac,+Carrer+de+Sant+Ciriac,+4,+07800+Eivissa,+Illes+Balears&amp;ftid=0x129946b00d503f35:0xa719c8aab3e10e74&amp;hl=en-ES&amp;gl=es&amp;entry=gps&amp;lucs=a2&amp;shorturl=1">David&rsquo;s tiny bar</a> on the way down. It&rsquo;s basically a window in the wall and he makes dangerous sangria!&nbsp;

My friend Marcelo&rsquo;s restaurant is right in the main square. There&rsquo;s a special dish on the menu that he made for me &ndash; creamy truffle pasta! Just ask for Annie&rsquo;s dish.

It has the most incredible view so ask for the table closest to the view. It&rsquo;s the most beautiful sunset spot&nbsp;and the sushi&nbsp; is to die for.

A wild and wonderful weekend when the whole of Dalt Vila turns into a recreation of <a href="https://www.eivissa.es/portal/index.php/ca/la-teua-ciutat/areafestes/603-eivissa-medieval">mediaeval Ibiza</a>. There are Arabic food stalls and entertainers and the most incredible food stalls. The atmosphere is beautiful and exotic and it&rsquo;s like going back in time.

Museo de Arte Contempor&aacute;neo de Ibiza.

<a href="https://www.eivissa.es/mace/index.php/ca/">MACE</a> is my favourite museum on the island, and I love taking people there. It&rsquo;s different from anything else in Ibiza and the modern art is mind-blowing. The building is so dramatic too.

Mercat Vell.

Just below the castle walls is the <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/Mercat+Vell/@38.9089624,1.4368755,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x129946b10560a3d7:0x5c9082bd7276da3f!8m2!3d38.9089624!4d1.4368755?hl=en-ES">market</a> where I get all my fruit and flowers for my shop and house. It is simply gorgeous and when you walk in it is so colourful and beautiful and smells amazing. I could live in there.

Annie&rsquo;s Ibiza.

My shop below my house is my favourite place on the planet! Everyone in the street is so happy and there&rsquo;s always something happening or a celebration going on. It&rsquo;s an incredibly special place to live and work. I have a host of fabulous vintage pieces, couture, one-off finds and a whole heap of treasure. Come before supper to delight your senses!
