This is the perfect place to stay for walking the Gozo coastal path and exploring the islands historic sites. There are only a few small stretches of road with pavement on the island, but Fabrice advised us that a 30min walk would bring us to Marsalforn and the road was quiet in December. We then walked to Fungus rock and had a boat trip at sunset. #bestdayout
It’s an easy one bus from the ferry terminal and Fabrice’s instructions were spot on. Coming back from our walks, the €1.5 bus tickets were valid for two hours and the changes in Victoria were simple.
It’s also only 5min walk to the ggantija temple and windmill. Buy a ‘discover Gozo’ ticket and you have a month to do the 5 museums in Victoria’s Citadella too.
We didn’t have time to use the dipping pool, or hang out in the house much, but Fabrice and his girlfriend were far more friendly and chilled than all the ‘house rules’ would lead you to think. He really made us feel at home and helped us out with things like coffee and milk as we arrived late on a Sunday. It’s a very quiet little traditional village, which means that there is only a small minimart which closes at 7pm, but that suited us fine (apart from Sunday night) and we got used to packing picnics for walks, as Marsalforn, Xlendi and mgirr were the only places W route with open cafes.
We’ll be back to complete the coastal path soon, and when we do we’ll be booking the same room (the en-suite one with a balcony overlooking the pool). #suchaniceplace
