The 300yr old traditional Maltese farmhouse is fully equipped and modernised to cater for all your holiday requirements. The outdoor space and pool are great for all the family and worth noting that the pool is much larger than appears in the photos. The kitchen leads directly to the garden via a stable door and beautiful grape vine covered pergola, where outside wining and dining can be thoroughly enjoyed, especially on those warm evenings and in between dips in the pool.
We stayed here for 5 nights out of our 14 nights holiday in Malta and found it the perfect and a very relaxing place to unwind. The island of Gozo is absolutely stunning and nowhere is really that far that you cannot walk (we walked everywhere), exploring was great too. There are a few local shops where you get your groceries, but we found Noels fruit and veg shop had everything we needed to hand, and is literally only at the end of the road and about 40 metres from your front door. Even closer is the local and traditional Maltese cake/biscuit maker, which operate from the building nearby and we highly recommend you pop your head around the entrance and make a purchase from source as they have only just come out of the ovens and taste amazing; and with some discount applied offer better value than purchasing from the local shops.
The rooms are great, well sized with plenty of storage and all have Air Conditioning fitted in addition to ceiling fans, which work great in conjunction with the AirCon units. Both upstairs bedrooms have lovely en-suite bathrooms with showers and the ground floor bedroom has a bathroom just outside the door.
The living area is stunning and offers a great space to relax with views of the garden and pool.
There is a beautiful external staircase leading to the upstairs, this is in addition to the internally fabricated spiral staircase. The flat roof is accessible via the spiral staircase and provides views of the sea and mainland Malta.
We also recommend that you visit the local restaurant ‘Tal Furnar’ that is only a ten minute walk away from the farmhouse and offers great traditional and locally sourced, prepared food and great value. The owners and staff are wonderful and more than happy to accommodate you - we turned up late on a Sunday on our first night and although they recommend that you book a table in advance they were more than happy to get a table from the main restaurant area and sit us outside. We tried most of the menu between us and highly recommend the Braggioli and pizza’s, we would have loved to try their slow roasted pig but we missed that night.
Great place, great location close to the capital and beach, we walked to the beach with took about 30mins and downhill on the way there, you can catch a bus or drive but we love walking so took advantage of the glorious weather.
The channel ferry runs 24/7 and crossings are frequent and easy to use, you only pay on your return journey so getting there you literally just hop on-board and enjoy the views of both Comino and Gozo.
Buses are also readily available and all routes and timetables can be found on their website. The main station is in Victoria and all buses seem to run in and out of there. They are all air conditioned, modern and clean. The nearest bus stop is next to the church approximately a 5min walk.
Hope you enjoy, it’s great! ☀️🇲🇹🏖🚢✈️
