My husband and I have stayed in quite a few Airbnb properties, but this was definitely one of the absolute best. Lilian and Joe, from their first communication with us, were so helpful and friendly. They met us at the airport in Malta to give us the keys, directions and some tips about Gozo and the area of the house in Qala.

This house is so beautiful - the pictures on Airbnb are definitely accurate, but it is even more beautiful in person. The way the sun streams in through the windows in the morning, taking in the sunset and sunrise from the rooftop, relaxing in the sun in the garden or in the second floor living room. We felt so relaxed here - it was so peaceful. It is situated in a beautiful little town, a short walk from the main square which has a few nice, local restaurants and a few shops. Qala is a great place to be based - it is a nice quiet town but only ever 10-25 minutes away from anywhere else on the island, and it is so easy to drive around the island.

There are so many little touches around the house to appreciate - you keep discovering something new every day. It has so obviously had so much love and care put into it over the years. Everything you need is here - from the bread, meet, cheese, juice, and fruit left for your first breakfast, and wine for the evening - to towels, beach umbrella, everything you need to cook including oil, salt, a few spices, plenty of utensils and pans.. the only thing I would say (and this is about Gozo in general) is that the tap water tastes a bit funny - I did end up making coffee with some bottled water which tasted a lot better.

We felt so comfortable and happy here - we did not want to leave. Lilian and Joe have provided such beautiful and relaxing accommodation. We would absolutely recommend the Old Wine Inn to anyone and really appreciated Lilian and Joe's warm hospitality.
