I have just returned from a wonderful holiday on Gozo, my family and I spent a week in Zebbug staying in "Il- Forn", hosted by Mary and Andrew. They are wonderful hosts, pull out all the stops to welcome us to this beautifully restored and really well equipped house in a village with everything we needed...the list is really endless and includes the information on the house, the village and the island, the comfy dressing gowns, the lovely stove, (well worth the extra for timber supplied by Andrew), the hot tub, ( also well worth the extra charge for it's use, and definitely possible to use generously within the electricity limits), the thoughtful and generous Christmas gifts which made us feel so welcome, the practical help with hiring a car, ( would definitely recommend Raymond's- nothing fancy & perfect for our needs on the island), the lovely smell of hot pastries when we arrived! The list is really endless. The village highlight we all agreed was Francesco's, in the square opp. the church, it's a real locals favourite with great pizzas and calzone and a great welcome from the owner Francesco and his family, and very very good value as well the atmosphere. Gozo was all amazing and Christmas is a great time to visit, the church events were really beautiful and appeared to happen each day, real community, and cultural, events with music and drama. We loved it and the sun shone for us too, not swimming weather but beautiful sea and great walks everywhere- the azure window and inland sea at Dwejra are not to be missed- take the boat ride there, apart from that everywhere we went was just beautiful, the car was really worth the €20 per day, and arriving back to our lovely house and hopping into the jacuzzi! Without Mary and Andrew we might have missed a lot of it- they love their island and are like ambassadors for it- we recommend them, their house and the island- all wonderful- thank you! We had the best holiday and are already planning a return trip.
