On arrival we were amazed how lovely this 300 year old farmhouse was! its everything they said is was and more! Very charming and full of character spaced out over different levels. Jeff (owner) rang the villa on our first day to make sure everything was ok and if we needed anything which was nice of him. I travelled with my husband and a family of 5. The way the villa is set out was perfect for us, myself and husband taking the main bedroom upstairs and the family having the downstairs bedrooms giving us all our own space and privacy.
The décor is lovely and goes well with the traditional building, very clean and well equipped. The pool was a great pleasure to have especially as there was a heatwave while we were there!! The pool was cleaned out during our 10 day stay, and also bed linen changed with fresh towels left.
The bathrooms have a hand held shower in each over the bath but there is a full shower cubicle just across from the pool which was fine for us all. The bathroom in the main bedroom isn't very private with only a screen across the toilet so could do with a more suitable patrician. The beds are comfy and there are fans in each bedroom, but could do with a couple of extra ones especially on very hot nights which made it difficult to sleep.
The pool area was lovely surrounded by greenery and flowers, the only downside is that you had to keep clearing the flowers from the pool before jumping in! It also seemed to attract a lot of flies/mosquitoes, so take plenty of DEET spray and bite cream!! (Although I do know that due to it being exceptionally hot, it did attract more than usual)
There is a local bus service, but we found it a lot easier just to jump into our rented car rather than standing in the heat for a bus. Gozo itself is a lovely place and quieter than mainland Malta, and there are some lovely restaurants, the best one being "BROKIES" Restaurant just a short drive away. The food was exceptional and very friendly staff, well worth a visit!
We all had a fabulous time here and wouldn't hesitate to book again!!
Thank you Jeff for a wonderful holiday in your charming place!
