Derek and Dylan's house was absolutely fantastic! From the spacious and stylishly decorated living room to the pool & suntanning area to the unbelievably soft and luxurious bed linens, it was a 10/10 stay, perfect for a romantic and relaxing getaway. Since we were only two people, we had the whole (very comfortable & modernly equipped) farmhouse to ourselves, minus the unoccupied bedrooms. I bet it's very nice to stay with friends too!
In terms of the location, it is a little hidden away in the village of Qala, but even without a car things are pretty accessible: 15min walk to the Hondoq ir-Rummien beach, and about the same to the center of the village which has a couple restaurants and bars (though we didn't have time to go there). We used Bolt to get there (and Bolt food to get food delivered). It is a 10min car ride to the Mgarr harbour where ferries from Malta go to and from.
Of course one of Gozo's best features is the sea activities, so more about the beach: Hondoq ir-Rummien is a small white sand beach with unbelievably clear turquoise waters. It is pretty popular with locals and tourists alike and has all the amenities you need: food trucks, a bar, public toilets, and even direct boat rides to the Blue Lagoon in Comino. Because of its size and because it is one of the only sandy beaches in Gozo, it can be a bit crowded with families, but if that bothers you you can just walk a bit further to the rocky area. Great place for snorkeling too!
The hosts Dylan & Derek were lovely and super reactive—we sent them a message just the evening before and they replied within 5 minutes.
All in all one the best Airbnb stays we've ever had. We only wish we could have stayed longer!
