My trip to Xaghra was to sort out some legalities regarding a property I am purchasing so I was not technically on holiday. However as soon as I arrived I knew that it would be like a holiday as I was made so welcome by Jayne and Tony. There is no ‘getting to know’ period with either of them as it is so comfortable right from the start so staying with Jayne and Tony is just like being at home (but with better weather etc). There is always someone to help but this is never intrusive and you are free to choose whether you want to be part of their way of life for the duration of your stay or just do your own thing. There is no false ‘have a nice day culture’ here, they really want you to have a great time and will do all they can to help. There is also a very convivial atmosphere at the farmhouse, all the better if there are other guests staying. It doesn’t matter what backgrounds you may come from as the common ground always seems to emerge through both idle and serious chat. The food is great, thanks Tony, so think twice about bothering with the square restaurants. I had some great evenings drinking wine over supper, chatting about life experiences and watching the best fireworks I have ever seen. You won’t be disappointed thank you Tony and Jane, my friends and future neighbours - see you soon Roger xxx
