Staying in this beautiful home was easily the best Airbnb we have ever had.
My fiancée and I arrived fairly late on a very rainy and uncharacteristically cold day in Gozo. Mark gave us very clear directions on how to get from the airport to the ferry in Cirkewwa, and assured us he would be in Mgarr to pick us up. Not only were Mark and his mother there to pick us up, they also brought us to the local grocery store to get essentials for the night (as our luggage was not arriving until the following morning). All this hospitality even before we set foot in the farmhouse.
Mark brought us to the home, which is at the end of a long, quiet road in a small village called Kerćem. The home itself is absolutely gorgeous 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom house with a fully equipped kitchen and separate sitting room with a big TV. Not to mention a very nice private pool. If you’re looking for an escape with rustic charm with just the right amount of luxury, this is the place to be.
The house is stocked with plenty of towels and blankets, and was spotless. The property is removed from the noise of the road which initially concerned us because we wanted access to nearby attractions, however, the home is easily accessible by bus and Bolt (local ride sharing service) and our wait times were never more than 8 minutes. Also, it is only a 20 minute walk from the house to the center of Victoria. No attraction or restaurant on Gozo is more than 20 minutes away by car either.
We cannot recommend this place highly enough. Mark and his family are excellent hosts and very responsive, and maintain a great farmhouse.
