We've stayed on Gozo a few times now but Ana's beautiful farmhouse is really something very special and really exceeded our expectations! We can honestly say that yes, it really does look as good as the pictures (if not better!) and the word "serenity" is the perfect single word to sum things up. If you're hoping for a truly quiet and relaxing place to chill out for a week, while exploring the natural beauties of Gozo, then look no further. What we believe makes this extra special is that it's the perfect size for a couple (really good sized rooms but the right number for two!), rather than the more usual large farmhouses of Gozo with multiple bedrooms which can feel far too large to be alone in.
Amenities-wise you'll find everything you need for day-to-day island life, plus more, and the WiFi is fast and stable which made some remote working a breeze. Talking of breeze, we loved having both front and rear doors wide open all day long (and even overnight), giving a lovely airy feel to the place.
We loved the location in one of the quietest parts of the island, but as Gozo is so compact you have the best of both worlds - you can still walk just 15 minutes up the hill to Zebbug and have dinner in a beautifully situated restaurant, or hop in the car to visit the local supermarket in less than two minutes.
Although we didn't have an opportunity to meet Ana, I believe she's an absolutely fantastic host, providing lots of helpful messages and being super responsive. This was our first Airbnb booking of our own having only stayed on friend's bookings previously, and Ana has given us a huge amount of confidence to do this again in the future. We hope we'll be back someday to stay again and meet her!
Finally, as is common in the Maltese Islands, we were visited daily by a variety of very friendly cats, something we always enjoy - one in particular here was extremely fond of my wife, who found it very hard to leave her at the end of our week!
All in all a superb week in a really beautiful home!
