Back to reality after the most perfect stay at Jayne and Tony's little eden! An 8 night stay that most certainly contributed to making my holidays so perfect in Gozo.
Jayne and Tony are, by far, the best hosts and the most welcoming people I have met in a long time.
Tony kindly organised my late transfer from Malta airport and waited up for me, a quick chat, nice sandwich and a good rest in a sweet stone room with subtle lighting, cosy, pretty and restful, made the perfect start to my holidays!
Tony's knockout surprise breakfasts set you up for the day. He's also a great breakfast time buddy, giving you all the tips on how to spend the day on the island and always a good laugh - I have to apologise for keeping you away from your daily tasks whilst chatting away...
Jayne suggests going diving with her on their profile - take her on that offer. I was lucky to do my first dive with her and that's coming from someone who had to take swimming lessons a year ago - it was simply the best experience in my life thanks to Jayne - trustworthy, friendly and beautiful woman inside and out! Extremely passionate, not only about the diving, she will make you want to follow her in the depths of the sea. The boat trip was also one of my highlights - thank you!!
There is a great family atmosphere to their comfortable, spotless home and I immediately felt welcome, much more than a passing tourist but kind of part of their fantastic family. Not forgetting their daughter Jessica who I was lucky enough to meet, spend some time with and visit some of the best beaches with. Great dinners, a few beers, sometimes cocktails, always a lot of laughter!
Xaghra is a great location with local cafes and restaurants, easy access by bus to Victoria, Ramla, Marsalforn...away from the buzz, it's quiet and ideal for a relaxed break.
Gozo is a wonderful paradise within easy reach, sea, sun, unspoilt coastline, nice food, all very affordable and very, very friendly people - not least my hosts, the family to whom I owe my immense gratitude for opening their home and their arms to me.
I can't thank you enough for making my holidays so perfect and look forward to seeing you again as soon as possible!
All the best,
