Ta Gola is a lovely place to stay if you want to get away from it all. It is approximately 1 mile from the centre of Nadur and a short walk to San Blas beach (but down a very steep track), sadly most of the sand at San Blas was washed away by a storm last year and it is now mainly rocky but there is a nice cafe (spirit + mixer for €2!) and it’s a beautiful place to sit and watch the waves. You are also a 40 minute stroll from Qorrot bay which is a little fishing port with a small sandy beach. The area is good for walking, (we met people who had walked along the cliff path from the port). We’ve never been to Malta or Gozo before and found Gozo to be a quiet, friendly, clean and beautiful island with a variety of quiet clean beaches, which (towards the end of October) were pretty quiet. Ferries to Gozo are remarkably regular (a car ferry runs all day and even throughout the night - which was handy as our return flight was at 6:15am!) and there looked to be an efficient and regular bus service (although we didn’t use it). On Matina’s advice we hired a car which made it easier to access all the sites and supermarkets for stocking up. Be aware that most roads on Gozo are pretty rough with lots of pot holes (although we saw a few newly laid tarmac roads so this may change soon). Ta Gola is a big farmhouse and it is a real luxury having a private, good size pool. It was an ideal size for us (a party of 7 with 4 teenagers) especially having 2 living areas on different levels. Be aware that if you go at the end of October you will need insect repellent and our only real disappointment was being unable to sit outside in the evening - but you can’t help nature. Matina was a great host answering and dealing with queries quickly and providing helpful tips on where to shop and eat out. Many thanks
