We can highly recommend staying at Il Girna. Richard is a splendid host (he sorted out a problem we had with the hot water very promptly) and readily provides any information needed. The house is very light and spacious with a well equipped kitchen area and the little outside terrace was a lovely place to have breakfast or to watch the sun go down. The air conditioner (paid for by meter using €1 or €2 coins) was efficient and useful on hot days and nights. It only took a leisurely 10-15 minute walk to reach the centre of Qala where there are a few essential shops and a number of bars and restaurants. A very comfortable place to stay for two to four people.
