Aaron Simpson, Chairman of Quintessentially, the concierge firm, has spent an estimated £4.24 million buying a six-bedroom 400-year-old converted finca on Ibiza...

His exquisite but remote Balearic bolt-hole is set in an acre of olive, orange and lemon groves and overlooks Formentera.

"We're re-building the interior, making it lighter and adding four bedrooms, plus an infinity pool outside," says the Essex-born former film producer. "We're using only British builders because they're the most reliable."
He and his wife, Johannesburg beauty Leanne, had looked at 50 villas on Ibiza using property finders Quintessentally Estates (natch).

They flit between homes in Islington, New York and Cape Town. Simpson co-founded Quintessentially in 2000 with former London club-owner Ben Elliot, nephew of the Duchess of Cornwall.

They boast that they can "fix anything from a last-minute circus for your 50th birthday party to an insiders' weekend in New York".
