Opportunities to rent amazing houses like this are the reason I use Airbnb! The property is massive, clean (newly renovated bathrooms were spotless), and the view of the Gozo countryside from the pool deck is outstanding. Get your camera memory card ready for lots of use. Aldo's sister administered the property during our stay and was prompt, helpful, and even surprised us with a bottle of wine during our final evening in the house. Perfect!

Gharb, and Gozo itself, is a journey to reach from the airport. Be sure to budget at least three hours travel time, especially if all the various modes of transportation don't sync-up their timing correctly (airport bus to ferry, ferry to Gozo, bus to Victoria, bus/taxi to Gharb). However, we found the effort well worth it.

If you're seeking a relaxed, quiet vacation away from the hustle and bustle of the city (in our case, an alternative to Valletta), Aldo's farmhouse should be at the top of your list.
