Gozo Farmhouse Bianca
Myself and my family have just returned from a month in Farmhouse ‘Bianca” and from the get go it was wonderful. We were met by Alexandra, who showed us around and answered all our questions. All throughout the holiday Alexandra was prompt to answer any queries we had whether to do with the villa or the island. The farmhouse is a wonderful combination of old original architecture, which has been sympathetically extended. Outside there was a beautiful pool and BBQ area which we used a lot, especially when getting fish from the local ‘Island Fisheries” where the fish was fresh and so reasonable. The roof terrace was a delight to sit and watch the sun setting, there is a very narrow circular staircase to navigate, not so good for older people or very little children to use.
Inside is exactly like the pictures and beautiful limestone walls keep everywhere cool although the air conditioning worked perfectly when needed. the beds were very comfortable and bedrooms spacious.
The property is very close to the small town of Xewkija about 5 minutes walk to the square and the beautiful church. There are a number of great restaurants in the square as well as a pharmacy and local supermarket. Other amenities are bakeries, butchers and a lovely supermarket for fresh produce (Daily Fresh) also near that supermarket is a wonderful deli/wine shop and a local brewery.
All in all it has been a fantastic stay and I would highly recommend anyone to stay here. Xewkija is very central to other places on the island, the people are very friendly and helpful, the sea around the island is incredible.
