I stayed at this beautiful place for a little creative and sportive retreat on Gozo's seaside after spending a week at friends of mine on Malta. First of all, Clare was so kind to drive down to Mgarr harbour at the ferry terminal to guide me and my friend to the apartment. The building is pretty new, huge and quiet, the apartment is on the 5th floor (there‘s a lift). And it‘s exactly as large as it looks on the photos. All the furnishings are well-cared for (which is no surprise as I was the first tenant to this place ever :-). There are 3 bedrooms - 2 twin rooms with each 2 single beds in there and one bedroom with a double bed. Since I had it all for myself I picked the latter and used the others just for storing my luggage. That bedroom also features a small bathroom with a quite humid smell to it, which is why I preferred the bigger bathroom. Everything was clean and tidy. Clare explained all equipment very carefully. I felt at home instantly. After hearing some funny sounds from the left-hand side apartment one morning I had a peep and saw it‘s actually a building lot. Workers came and brought something, then left. So luckily no construction works during my stay there (before booking I recommend to ask about the schedule of that). In the kitchen you have everything you need, a medium-sized fridge, microwave, oven, stove, kettle, toaster as far as I remember. I didn‘t use much of it as I ate out on pretty much all nights. Restaurants are pretty close to the apartment. A tiny pizza place is right outside the apartment on Qbajjar Promenade. It's a 10 mins walk to Marsalforn Bay where you have all sorts of bars, restaurants and cafés. The beach there is pretty, the sand is a little abrasive but still okay to top up your tan and go for a swim. Then, I was unlucky weatherwise - storms came up. I didn‘t mind the wind so much but when there was quite a draft in the place, I tried to close a window above the main door and it broke. The next morning my hosts were there to fix it. Clare's mom lives next door, so they could come in through a little door on the side of the terrace - a real blessing in disguise! I found some pastries and a bottle of wine on the table along with a card wishing me no more surprises. It outweighed the scare. They were always available. When I told them about funny noises due to the wind, Steve fixed them within an hour. He also gave me a ride back to the ferry terminal at 6.30 a.m. (!). So I can really recommend this otherwise relaxingly quiet (and now windproof;) place & hosts and would consider Clare's & Steve's penthouse with its breathtaking views definitely for another stay. So, hope to be back...
