We were stunned by how wonderful this house was when we arrived. The kitchen felt like a medieval banqueting hall, and the roof terrace gave views of the Mediterranean on 4 sides and a beautiful overlook of the Citadel and much of the island. It was a real pleasure to sit up there in the evening, watching the church domes and Citadel light up on one side, while dusk fell over fields on the other.

All the rooms were spacious and the two bedrooms we used, each with its own private terrace, were lovely. The central stairwell was light and attractive, and made an already large house feel even more spacious.

We enjoyed sitting peacefully on the patio beside the pool in the mornings, and took a couple of (chilly but refreshing) dips in the pool when the day got hot.

The immediate locality was quietly rural, dotted with isolated properties. However it was also a short drive to almost anywhere on Gozo – we would definitely recommend hiring a car and Anthony can recommend a good hire company for you.

We loved Gozo. It’s much less hectic than Malta and has some nice sights, fascinating buildings and great walks on the cliffs. It’s very small and very easy to get to know.

Anthony supplied a very thotough welcome pack and Vincent, the local manager, was always on hand if needed.
