Our hosts Mary and Andrew were the best. They were kind and accommodating - and even took us to our dentist's office and the pharmacy on the way home from the ferry! They also offered many tips on enjoying the island served up with pastry and coffee. They have done a stunning job on renovating this very old bakery and have turned it into a unique living space. The village is very quiet and serene this time of year ... the views are amazing and the island of Gozo is meant for the nature lover and 'trekker' - but probably best enjoyed in warmer weather. Nothing hosts can do about that!

There are no shops in the village, at least during the wintertime, but I don't think there are many others in the high season. There are vendor trucks that come by in the morning and honk to let you know they are outside your door. Fruit & veg, fish, bread...ect. but miss the truck and you are out of luck. There is a bus on the half hour that gets into town in about ten minutes and you can provision. You'll want to load up on basics and have food in the larder so you can cook in most of the time since there are only a couple of pizza restaurants in Zebbug. Of course, it you have a car - then none of this really matters. We rarely had a car during our travels.

Being a stone house without central heating, we were cold, but it was February and expected. There is airconditioning/heating but it is expensive to run and not very efficient for warmth. The wood fired stove was more helpful.

The hot tub is an extra expense and took too much of our 'electricity' allotment to heat it, so we didn't use it, nor could we enjoy the roof deck due to wind and rain - both of which would be wonderful in the spring and summer.

This is a great airbnb offering - definitely one of the most attractive and unique in the 48 we've enjoyed during our last 18 months of
European travel. It is perfect if you love the outdoors and the simple lifestyle that this historic and beautiful island of Gozo has to offers.
