The farmhouse is beautiful - large, spacious, traditional and in a great location, Xaghra is a superb base. The next door neighbour is delightful, very friendly, and offered to take our recycling to the municipal dump.
The pool is great (maybe a little small for us - I will have to check that in future) - lovely and clean. For our stay the sun is on the pool/part of the pool until midday in late September, then is behind the building until about 4 pm when it reappears on the other side of the building. The girls were a bit frustrated with this as the shade chased them until there was no patio left to sit on. We did have a mixed bag weather wise, so most days we weren't at the villa in the afternoon, therefore not a problem. The island is too beautiful not to explore.
The bedrooms and bathrooms are beautifully spacious, as is all the downstairs living accommodation. We enjoyed playing table tennis, there is plenty of room to set the table up inside the villa as well as outside. An added bonus. The kitchen area is adequate and the welcome pack a blessing, thank you. A tea strainer would be a welcome addition for the loose tea that is provided!!
This was our first visit to Gozo, what a beautiful unspoilt island. The crossing from Malta is relaxing and hassle free, very well organised. As are the buses. We decided not to hire a car, and found the bus system extremely easy to use and very affordable. The views are stunning wherever you go, and all the main villages are easily accessibly by bus. It was quite fun navigating ourselves around and added to our stay. The villa is located just a short easy walk to the main square in Xaghra which was wonderful. We also enjoyed the marvellous barbecue at The Cornicopia (literally 2 minutes walk), and the views from there are stunning. Wonderful location, thank you.
The farmhouse itself has a few areas that require a little tlc, and that is the only reason I have given 4 out of 5. Having spoken to the owner who is getting these sorted, I would therefore definitely recommend to others.
