This was our first visit to Gozo and we particularly wanted to stay in a Gozitan farmhouse. The house was beautiful and spotless. Situated in rhe small village of Gharb (pronounced 'Harb') it was ideal for us.
The house although renovated has kept its lovely old farmhouse charm and had all the facilities that you could require. Washing machine, place to dry clothes, full sized cooker, plenty of plates, cutlery etc. Little things but none the less important.
The host, Rita, had thought of everything, i feel. A charming lady who picked us up from the harbour on our arrival. Had a bottle of wine for us at the farmhouse and also took us back to the harbour at the end of our holiday and booked our cab to take us to Malta airport, amazing or what! On the slightly negative side. It is remote, so car hire is advisable if you plan to travel around a lot. The bus service, however, is excellent. It leaves Gharb 16 minutes past the hour and is pretty punctual. Nearly everything seems to be roughly 10 minutes away by bus! My other negative point is that the beach is roughly 35 minutes away by car, longer by bus, and you will need to get two buses changing in the capital Victoria, but with proper planning it can all be quite effortless. I guess it depends what you want from your trip. All this aside we had a fabulous time and look forward to visiting Gozo next year.
