Our stay at this farmhouse in Gozo was truly a memorable experience. While the property showed signs of age and had a few areas that needed attention, the overall charm and energy of the place captivated us. The gardens, in particular, felt like an oasis, providing a serene space where my family and I could come together. If you are seeking luxury, this may not be the right choice for you. However, if you are looking to create lasting memories in a magical setting, this farmhouse is perfect. The owner, Lisa, was incredibly accommodating and responsive to any issues that arose, ensuring our stay was as comfortable as possible. We absolutely loved our time here and would recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and enchanting experience in Gozo.

Idyllic House Great Holiday

Our stay in the house was late June 2018 (late post due to review section not being available on Home Away). 6 of us stayed in the property, arriving from UK & Italy. The house is wonderful, very comfortable & in a quiet location. Kitchen had everything we needed & dining area was excellent. Bedrooms were comfortable. Bathrooms were clean and tidy - only issue for the entire trip was that hot water appears only solar powered - if it runs out in evening, doesn't heat up until the sun is out (this was not enough of a problem to impact our stay). Outdoor areas were the most impressive feature, the pool & surrounds are brilliant. The outdoor dining space is fantastic. There is a great balance between sun and shade. The house was big enough to allow time away from the other people if needed, but great for entertaining. The location was great; a short stroll into Gharb & a 5 minute drive into Victoria & 20mins from ferry. Would recommend the house for both friends to get away & families. Thanks Lisa, Regards Jason

Nice house but kind of untidy and moisty

Nice house; the kids loved the many corners, stairs, roofs, and "hidden rooms”; a bit of sea view from the pool, and the area is very quiet. The pool is great and the garden has some very beautiful plants. The owner and also the housekeeper are very friendly and helpful and the contact was very kind and uncomplicated. That said, the most decisivemoments are probably found in the history of the house: The garden and parts of the house were a bit untidy and moisty. The situation is maybe different in summer when there is less rain and humidity.

Such a wonderful place to spend the summer holiday.

We enjoyed our stay in this old, rustic house on the beautiful island of Gozo. A lovely place, indeed.

A fantastic location from a different time.

We had a great time in Gozo. really quiet (but 4 bars / restaurants within walking distance) and only a 5 minute drive to San Lawrenz and the Azure window with crystal clear diving - and not busy! Very deceptive. Gharb is very quiet, hardly any tourists. The farm house is fabulous. Its 400 years old and has not been modernized to distraction. Maybe not to an american's 5 star luxury level, but remained true to its Gozo / Malta heritage with a fitted kitchen, more bath rooms than you can count and the usual mod con's while still retaining that rustic, old farm house charm. The house is deceptive when you arrive, but opens out into a very large sprawling selection of rooms surrounding an open courtyard. We went at the end of October so the unheated pool was certainly character building. Its very deep which meant it might be a quite cool at the end of the season. Refreshing when your in tho' One thing you can't get from the website pictures, if you stand next to the palm tree in the picture of the pool, and look straight ahead you are looking out over farm land to the sea. Really great views all around the property. If you need to see the sea from the pool area or the balcony as part of your holiday, you can from this one. We would definitely recommend this property. Just be aware that the pool is very cool in the autumn. Lisa the owner is very friendly more than willing to answer any questions we had and is a local herself (not someone living abroad).

"Mediterranean Memories

Romantic inner courtyard with white against blue skies, flowering vines, colourful glass tiles. Flagstone paved farmhouse courtyard inviting you outside for breakfast. The children's laughter lingers around the crystal clear saltwater pool. Evening drinks by the pool or overlooking flashing lighthouse and rustic rural scenes in the changing hues of sunset. A white stone staircase inviting you to rest in the cool secluded bedrooms. Master bedroom has you sleeping under wide stone arches with gentle breezes wafting the generous expanses of space. There is a private balcony with outdoor shower overlooking the sea and capturing the many bird calls of Gozo. We wish we had more time to stay longer.

Wonderful, relaxing holiday.

This is delightful house that was the perfect getaway for our family. There were 6 of us and we thought we might get on top of each other but there was so much space that that never happened. The house is conducive to maximum chill out. This could be by the pool or living room. The house is tasteful in decor throughout and has every amenity one could wish for. We had a wonderful time and would recommend it to anyone wanting a break.

Wonderful Mamma Mia House!

As soon as we walked in we knew we had made the right decision. A real life Mamma Mia house; blue doors, white washed walls, beautiful tiled courtyard, amazing outside area and pool (very deep). The bedrooms all had floor standing fans as they are very hot at night. The master bedroom is massive and a lot cooler than the other bedrooms. The lounge is beautiful with an area to lie down and rest in the middle which is the size of a double bed. The house has a utility room with washing machine upstairs and clothes line. There are great views from the roof. The kitchen has everything you need with a large gas stove, microwave, 2 fridges and dishwasher. The garden has a gas bbq and lots of seating. Each night we put the pool lights on and sat outside and enjoyed the heat and peace and quiet. Lidl and Waitrose are only a few minutes’ drive away in Victoria. You pass both on the way to Gharb. We took the owners good restaurant guide book out in the car with us each day and found some amazing restaurants around the Island. As the Island is only 8/9 miles long it didn't take long to get around and the driving was very easy and safe. We were looking for a quiet retreat to R&R and we got just that. We will definitely be returning.

Paradise in Gozo

located in the quiet village of Gharb, this marvelous house is charming as described. We enjoyed the rustic side of the house with the indonesian decoration touch. The shade in the garden is very appreciated during warm days (very often) as well as the pool....and the shower on the balcony ! Nancy the maid and Lisa the owner are very helpfull and kind. Highly recommanded !

A perfect October Break

We enjoyed a very relaxing October break with our two young children. They found the house enchanting and we loved staying in a house which was so full of character. The kitchen was extremely well equipped. In fact, every room is very spacious. We had a good balance of tranquility and switching off, whilst the kids enjoyed the swimming pool. Would recommend!

Wonderful Gharb Farmhouse Not To Be Missed!

If you are looking for a wonderful, traditional and spacious farmhouse, then this is the property for you! The property has 4 well sized bedrooms - one double on the ground level, a double on the upper level, a double & single (in one room) on the upper and a HUGE master room with a double, single and cot. There are 4 bathrooms – two on the lower level and two on the upper level, as well as a beautiful hidden outdoor shower on the balcony to the master room not to be missed! Upon entering the farmhouse there is a small courtyard that connects all the rooms. There is a very large living room, a dining room that seats 8 and an extremely well stocked kitchen. I don’t think I have ever stayed anything that quite literally has every last thing you need! Outside in the garden you’ll find two hammocks, a large dinning table and the best part – the pool! There were 6 sun loungers and two soft seating in the pagoda. The rear of the property then looked out to extensive farmland and the sea in the very far distance, so you’ll be guaranteed not to be disturbed here. The property was well maintained and clean, with an option for additional cleaning during our stay. The farmhouse is situated in Gharb, a small village 20 minutes north west of Mgarr where the ferry terminal is. A short 5/10 minute walk will bring you to the main church, a few restaurants, supermarkets and the bus stop for local transport. We hired a car for the day to explore the island which I’d recommend, but public transport was just as easy. The main town of Victoria was a 10/15 minute drive from Gharb, so you are never too far from anything. Lisa who owns the property was super helpful. From my first email enquiry, up until I had arrived home, she was on hand to answer every last question and make the booking process as simple as possible. I wish all owners would be this helpful! We had one small issue with ants in the lower level bedroom, but reported this once we checked out. Other than that, I would recommend the property without hesitation to any family or group of friends wishing to visit Gozo. Thanks for a great stay :)

Surreal bliss, a dreamy getaway !

A home that is the epitome of raw beauty, it is truly a hidden Gozitan gem that we were so lucky to find. The gardens and pool surroundings are gorgeous, full of grand, shady palm trees and herbs. The pagoda at the far back of the pool gives this home a really charming exotic feel. Top of the range, brand new BBQ and cooking facilities which are quite rare in holiday homes - we literally never want to leave the house so the cooking element is part of the fun for us. The interior of the farmhouse is equally dreamy, understated luxury and a simple ruggedness that we just love...it has all the space and amenities you need to truly ensure relaxation and a peaceful aura to the senses. It is both perfect for couples and also those with families/ young kids as it is all safe and the pool area is fenced, a sweet balance of romantic and fun. Even more perfect for us. Simply put, this rustic farmhouse is a treasure and it is our dreamy getaway which we look forward to visiting every summer!

Lovely, rustic, characterful place to enjoy Gozo

We (couple from London) very much enjoyed our 5 night stay in this wonderfully characterful old farmhouse in Gozo which was a great end to our holiday in Malta & Gozo. The house offers old rustic charm, mixed with lovely design features and a wonderful pool and garden with lots of trees and flowering plants. The house was bigger than we anticipated based on the photos, with a big kitchen, 2 fridges, wonderfully large and nicely decorated living room, 4 bedrooms and 4 bath/shower rooms and the lay out, courtyard with blue doors and overall look & feel is very cute. One bedroom is huge (same size as living room) with a king size bed, fairly easy to keep cool(ish) and offers basic en-suite facilities. Other bedrooms are smaller, but still decent size, though potentially slightly more difficult to keep cool in the height of summer, and offer separate basic bath/shower rooms. There is a small food shop in the village offering basic needs and larger grocery store in Victoria is only 10 mins away. There is a nice restaurant nearby (Tatita in San Lawrenz) and given that Gozo is so small, we felt the house provided a good base to discover everything the island has to offer. If you are looking for a characterful stay on the edge of a small village in Gozo and can deal with / appreciate the rustic aspects that come with an old farm house (e.g. some chalk dust, old wooden cupboards etc.) this house is exactly what you are looking for. However, if you need/want 5* hotel luxury (e.g. modern bathrooms, amazing waterpressure, airconditioning etc.) to enjoy your holiday then this is not the right place for you, but then you are probably not researching farmhouses in Gozo anyway... We loved it, could accept the small niggles that come with an old family farm house and felt like we made the right choice for our stay on Gozo. It's the kind of house you wished you could own, but for now we were happy to just enjoy it for a few days. Lisa the owner responded promptly to our reservation requests & questions and Nancy the housekeeper offered a good welcome. Thank you both for a memorable & very enjoyable stay in Gozo.

A gem in Gozo

A perfect place to be for relaxing, swimming, hiking, biking and all you wish for. An enchanting quiet place away from the hustle and bustle. The farmhouse is a gem where everything is there to enjoy your holiday. A beautiful living room with fireplace for cold winter nights and a wonderful garden with swimming pool for hot summer days. I would recommend this property to everyone! Thanks Lisa for ensuring a perfect holiday!
