Gawhra The Holiday Home

The sizable and traditional inner courtyard at the entrance, has been converted into a private pool and deck area. Through which one enters into a combined living and dining/kitchen space, quaintly separated by arches.

A twin bed room and a separate family bathroom complete the ground floor. An original stone staircase leads to an arched landing area and two other bedrooms on the first floor, one twin and one double, both with ensuite facilities. The house is well equipped and furnished whilst being situated in close proximity to the village square, with its restaurants and bars, the hub and life of the local community.

Nice quaint home in Xaghra
The location in Xaghra is great. The property is on a small, quiet street a short walk from the Xaghra town square (restaurants, shops, etc.). Xaghra itself is only a short drive to Victoria and beaches (nothing is far on Gozo and the house is well situated). There is plenty of parking available on the street. The property overall was nice and quaint, with lots of light throughout. The bedrooms are large and there is plenty of space throughout. The private pool is fairly small but usable and shaded in the evenings. The general upkeep / cleaning of the property could have been better (e.g., there were crumbs on the counter when we checked in), but the only major issue we noticed was that the smaller upstairs twin bedroom/bathroom seemed to have a strange smell similar to sewage (not sure if it had to do with the plumbing). We did inform property management about this but never received a response, so we ended up not using this bedroom and keeping the door shut - the rest of the house was fine and we still enjoyed the stay.

Nice and cosy
Great property for family with 2 teenagers. It looks exactly as advertised - very spacious, bright, equipped with taste and has all you need. We unfortunately couldn't spend much time on the patio with pool, due to weather conditions, but when it was possible, we enjoyed it very much, as it is very private space. I liked a lot the professional approach and communication by owners, with lots of useful information before the trip and always available and ready to help.

Staying at my castle in Gozo
From the moment I found this place a few years ago I knew I would want to stay here when I went to Gozo.This place was pretty incredible in every way.I made god use of the kitchen and even had a few dinner parties.I spent a month here and brought my paints acrylics and oils to do some plein air painting.I was not disappointed with the incredible scenery so close by. Also I had hoped to spend my holiday with a friend,who wa unable to make it due to a broken ankle the day before her flight.This was really upsetting in so many ways, but I made the most of it, and made some friends with the locals.im sure this may not have happened if I had not been alone.The house was very safe and beautiful, and the Gozotiians are extremely friendly as well.I hope to return to this beautiful place.

Great Gozo retreat
Very pleasant property, full of character and an ideal place to base yourself in Gozo. February is not the best month to enjoy the pool, but still it's mild enough to sit out and enjoy the space. No complaints, enjoyed our stay.

Rymligt, fräscht och fridfullt.
Vi är väldigt nöjda med vårt boende under våra tio dagar på Gawhra. Huset är stort, välplanerat, luftigt, välutrustat och med hela tre toaletter. Även poolen och dess omgivning får höga betyg. Extra plus att halva poolen är drygt två meter djup. Det positiva med att huset ligger lite "in the middle of nowhere", är att det är otroligt lugnt och fridfullt i och runt bostaden. Det lilla negativa är att vi var tvungna att åka taxi när vi ville åka till stranden, pga avståndet. Vi rekommenderar verkligen detta huset.

Geweldig verblijf op Gozo
Gawhra is een heerlijk ruime en mooi ingerichte vakantiewoning! Ondanks dat de woning nabij het centrum van Xaghra ligt, is er voldoende privacy en rust. De woning is fijn ingericht en van alle gemakken voorzien. En natuurlijk is het een feestje om iedere dag in je eigen zwembad te kunnen springen!

Fijn huis!!
Een prachtig huis om te verblijven op Gozo. Leuk ingericht en van de nodige gemakken voorzien. We werden aangenaam welkom geheten door Inga die ons het hele huis liet zien. Ze was erg behulpzaam. De slaapkamers en badkamers zijn fijn evenals het woongedeelte. Zwembad is niet al te groot en in de tijd dat wij er waren (eind april) nog erg koud omdat het niet verwarmt is (maar dat mocht de pret voor de kinderen niet drukken :)). Het huis is gelegen in een rustige straat dus ook in de avond veel rust. De ligging van het huis vormt (zeker met een auto) een goede uitvalbasis om dingen te ondernemen op het eiland. Supermarkt op circa 5 min rijden. Wij hebben voornamelijk gewandeld in de 3,5 dagen dat we op Gozo waren. Je hebt verschillende mooie wandelroutes die echt de moeite waard zijn. Al met al een lekker verblijf in een mooi en leuk huis! Zeker aan te raden.

Schönes Haus viel Platz etwas kleiner Pool laute Toilette die lange Wasser fasst zu dünne decken
Uns hat das Haus sehr gut gefallen alles was man braucht war vorhanden. Die Toilette unten hat sehr lange und sehr laut Wasser nachgefasst. Die Bettdecke war etwas dünn. Der Pool könnte etwas größer sein und es könnten ein paar Schwimmteile im Pool sein wie Luftsessel oder Luftmatratze. Gozo an sich fanden wir sehr einsam und ausgestorben. Da wir aber 5 Mädels waren hatten wir trotzdem Spaß.
