We stayed here 17 days in January 2022. The house has 1.5 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms. It is quite spacious, with three floors, the third being a roof deck that is great on sunny days and in the evening. It is also possible to be outside on each of the three floors. The house is well equipped. The number of TV channels and the various countries that are covered is by far the most I have ever seen. I think I could spend several days just cycling through the channels.
The biggest positive for us was the bed. We like a firm mattress and this is by far the most comfortable bed we’ve used in years.
George is very responsive and puts in an effort to make sure things are right. He typically responded to our texts in minutes. His mother, Antonia, is a treasure and is wonderful. She is very friendly, and thoroughly knowledgeable about Victoria (Rabat), having grown up in the city. She and George really went out of their way to make us feel welcome.
The house is well located in Victoria and grocery stores, fruit sellers, etc. are all within 10 minutes or less. Antonia is a font of recommendations for good places to eat and shop.
We only had a few issues. My wife gets cold easily. The heaters in the bedrooms and the living room work fine and kept those rooms warm. Unfortunately, we spent most of our time in the kitchen which is unheated. George was nice enough to rent us a space heater and that pretty much took care of it. The other issue was water pressure in the shower. Hot and cold pressure is pretty good throughout the house, but for some reason, even with a booster pump, it is somewhat low in the upstairs shower. George was kind enough to come over and investigate and said it was as strong as it could be. We have heard water pressure can be low on Gozo in general. One final issue, that didn’t impact us significantly is WiFi. It works really well in the kitchen and sitting room with the TV, but is very weak on the second floor with none at all on the third. Likely this is due to the very thick limestone walls throughout the house.
None of these issues were really bad, and we could work around them. Overall, we really enjoyed our time here.
