Reviews of 400 year old converted farmhouse with private pool

Everything about it was great. Only problem was the biters. Maybe because of all the lovely foliage

A truly magnificent stone house that feels straight out of a Game of Thrones scene. The property is large and enchanting, with a spacious swimming pool and a sunbathing area perfect for relaxing. The fully equipped kitchen offers everything you need, while the interior impresses with its medieval charm. Standout features include dramatic stone hallways, charming little balconies, and architectural details that transport you to another era. A magical place for a unique and unforgettable stay.

It was clean, comfortable and we'll appointed as well having a certain charm to it. Reminder me of a mexican Villa.

Perfect for our two families with 2 rooms either side of central staircase (one of the twins was accessed through a double not an issue for us). Mark was very helpful with recommendations and info. Pool was a little chilly but enjoyed by the kids regardless. Convenient for local supermarket and bus stop and walkable to Xaghra sights. Free Wi-Fi was appreciated

Kids loved watching YouTube on the TV!

We liked literally everything, the house is beautiful and more than well equipped, our family of 7 were very comfortable and the pool was a star! Thank you Mark!

We loved the swimming pool, the large and open space inside the house, and it was walking distance to Xagħra shops, restaurants, and historical attractions like the Ggantija temples, the Ta’ Kola windmill, and several grottos. Also only 2.2km to beautiful Ramla beach. Mark was incredibly helpful, sent us sightseeing tips before we arrived, answered questions quickly, and made sure we had everything we needed.

At times there was an odd smell in the outdoor area. We don’t know where it came from.

This is a gorgeous - very large (photos don’t do it justice) Gozo farmhouse. Wonderful swimming pool with good sunshine levels through day meaning good temperature Excellent communication from owner - but fully respected your privacy - but available if needed We found the beds to be very comfortable - fans in every room if you don’t want to use the air con. Parking is on street but we always easily found a space near the house so it is not an issue. Xaghra is a wonderful village with excellent bars / restaurants easy 12 minute walk (some hills). Being central in Gozo means anything you want to do is easy drive away (also bus stop very close).

We were a party of 8 and the farmhouse felt roomy and very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and the BBQ a real treat. Best of all was the pool which was a lot bigger than it looked in the pictures and was a life saver in the heat. The owner’s communication was excellent.

There really wasn’t anything negative worth commenting on.

The villa had excellent facilities, and was very clean. Had everything you needed as well. The host answered any queries we had as well

Pool dining and lounge. Kitchen.

If two more friends had came with us the interconnected bedrooms would not have worked, so lucky they did not. The two rooms have a shared bathroom so really a family area. Some did not like the continued ringing of church clock and church service bells, I did not mind it my self

The villa was in a very quiet location. Which was perfect. We did have some difficulties in locating supermarkets which were Open or some distance from the villa Communication was 10/10

No A/C in the main lounge considering we are in 2023. Also having to pay for the use of the A/C. Never have I paid to use A/C anywhere I have travelled around the world. The meter was full in four days & needed emptying by the owners. 2 to 3 euros approximately required for maximum 3 hours. Mattresses were also on the thin side hence people sleeping on the sofas in the lounge instead. Small adjustments are required asap.

Charming well-proportioned historic house, close to bus stop and within walking distance of Xaghra pjazza, Ggiganta Temples and Ramla Beach. Marsalforn, Victoria and Mgarr are short bus rides away. The living area and three of the bedrooms are excellent, very spacious and comfortable. The pool/sitting area felt very private and having access to a private pool was a treat. Indoor courtyard/stairs area was lovely and very unusual. Also it was great to have a washing machine and dedicated outdoor area with lines for drying. The downstairs toilet/shower room was also handy. There are two shops and several restaurants within walking distance - in particular we enjoyed eating at the Segond Hotel (about two minutes walk from the property) and the Olympic Wine Bar in the Pjazza. It's nice to walk down to Ramla Beach (about 25 minutes, some of it quite steep) and then if you can't face the walk back up, the 322 bus will drop you at the Kommitiva bus stop at the end of the street. Overall we enjoyed our stay at this property and in Xaghra :)

I was really disappointed that the fourth bedroom could only be accessed through one of the other bedrooms and its bathroom - in fact at first we couldn't even find it. This would only really suit a family with small children, and didn't suit us as a group of adults. I think the fact that this room isn't self contained should be made clear on Booking.com. Air conditioning isn't included. To be fair, this is mentioned on Booking.com but I hadn't noticed. The host had said that €2 would provide about 8 hours of aircon but we found that €2 actually ran out in around 2.5 hours (this was with us using aircon in all four bedrooms). So you really do need to make sure you have a supply of 1 and 2 euro coins, because it can get very uncomfortable during the night if the aircon runs out. The pool is very cold and quite deep. It gets very little sun, so doesn't get a chance to heat up during the day, and runs quite quickly from just over a metre to almost two metres deep. Having said that, we really enjoyed having it and used it most days.

Beautiful pool, house really spacious and good facilities

Paying a lot for air con

Some sort of markers to indicate the various “steps” between one room/corridor and another
