We had a great stay at Adriana's house. It was very comfortable, spacious and well equipped. It was very clean. I particularly appreciated how comfortable the beds were. The main bedroom and bathroom were huge. The other bedrooms were also a good size.
The view across to The Citadel in Victoria was lovely especially in the evening. You could see it from the lounge picture windows.
We were there in early March so it was still a bit chilly in the evenings. We needed about 3 euros for the heating each evening to heat the main room and the bedrooms before we went to bed.
We used buses and didn't have a car. The bus stop is outside and buses went hourly. All the buses basically go to and from Victoria so we would either get a bus or walk in to Victoria: 35/40 min walk. We would then get a bus out to where we were going and then do the same in reverse at the end of the days.
We had an excellent book Walking in Malta published by Ciccerone. This gave walks on Gozo and Comino. We loved walking from the house out to the Ta Cenc cliffs and then either to Mgarr or to Xlendi and then on to San Lawrenz. The views were truly spectacular.
Transport was amazing value: 1.5/2 euro (depending on season) fixed fare on each bus journey. We bought a card of 10 tickets which gave you 2 free tickets. Comino return ferry 15 euros. Gozo channel ferry (25 mins) 5 euros return. Valletta fast ferry (45 mins) 6 euros each way. We went to Valletta for the day and it was easy to fit in a trip on the bus from there to Mdina for a couple of hours.
Whenever we needed to go to Mgarr for the ferry we found a super reliable taxi driver John Dingli who was exceptionally reasonable and we felt he drove safely: tel +356 7920 4492.
We were there for nine days and we still feel we had things we still wanted to see and walks we still wanted to do.
We used the local supermarkets but also loved Greens Supermarket in Victoria. That is open until late on Sunday, which was helpful when most supermarkets were closed on Sunday.
