We could not have had a better experience for our first visit to Gozo and Malta. It starts with Mani, whom is by far the best host we have ever dealt with in over 10 years of AirBnB and VRBO rentals. Friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely happy to help us find the best things to do during our stay. He sets a high bar for any other AirBnB host.
The farmhouse was the perfect complement of old world charm to why we picked to stay on Gozo. The open air courtyard was our favorite feature of the house and is an amazing quiet spot to have your family meals, read a book, or enjoy a drink after a day of exploring. We love staying in places that have character and history, so this place was perfect. The farmhouse is tucked away from busy streets, but within walking distance of a beach, some astounding seaside cliff walks, and the quaint town square of Qala. The complementary jeep to drive around Gozo in was a lot of fun and we used it daily. We drove to every corner of the island during our stay and it was the perfect vehicle for exploring out of the way beaches, cliff walks and tide pools.
Grocery stores are within a 15 minute drive, so it's easy to stock up on supplies. We cooked about half our meals at the house and ate out the rest. Gozo has so many restaurant options for such a small island, so you won't find it hard to get a great meal. We took the fast ferry over to Malta one day and explored the more touristy spots, but were happy to spend the rest of the time on Gozo.
Thanks again to Mani for making it such a fun and unique vacation!
