    Very spacious accommodation, and in a quiet location. Great private pool. AC and fans available. In walking distance to/from the bars and restaurants in the square. Oh, and a very helpful host too!

    New pool umbrella was still awaited. The floor is too flat in the small en-suite bathroom off the double bedroom and floods if not careful when showering.

    We loved our stay, 😍 the house is beautiful and spacious plus it was very clean in a quiet area. Had everything we needed and there’s a grocery store nearby. Definitely recommend

    Nothing, everything was perfect!

    We had a wonderful stay at the farmhouse! The place was exactly as described — clean, comfortable, and equipped with all the facilities you could need for a relaxing getaway. The host was fantastic — very friendly, welcoming, and communicated clearly throughout the booking and stay. It made everything so easy and stress-free. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful stay in a well-kept and fully equipped place!

    There was nothing we didn’t like. It was a fantastic stay.

    The location and the house are perfect. 3 big bedrooms, a huge living area, a very nice back patio with a big pool, and lovely terrace to play some ping pong or have some drinkgs. It's a very big property, 10 minutes away from the biggest sand beach in gozo (Rambla). The views from around the corner are also stunning.

    - The shower in the bathrooms falls directly into the floor, and the drain does not work very fast so its easy to flood the whole bathroom in a matter of minutes - Ants all over the place (inside the house). More frequent pest control is needed. - Sink was not working (clogged) and couldn't get it fixed for our stay, although it was a short one. Even if it was working, the material provided for cleaning the dishes was minimal (no sponge and very little detergent). - Very high deposit for a 2 night stay (even this is mentioned in the T&C, it's still surprising being asked to send it before even seeing the property). - No mosquito net, so you either leave the AC on all the time (which is controlled by a paid meter, so assuming that if you consume all the money you will be asked to pay extra), or you let the mosquitos invade the house. We did the later, and paid the consequences later that night, as we were bitten by tens of mosquitos that entered the property during the day. - Pool is very deep and there's a very limited space for little kids, as it becomes deep too fast.

    Property response:

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m genuinely sorry to hear that certain aspects of your stay didn’t meet your expectations. I do value all guest comments, as they help me continue to improve and ensure the best possible experience for everyone. The property is always carefully checked prior to each booking, and no issues with the sink were identified beforehand. When you brought it to my attention, I acted straight away by arranging for a plumber to visit and sent you a message to inform you. Unfortunately, as the plumber does not have access to the property and no one was available to let him in, he was unable to carry out the repair during your short stay. To support guest comfort, I provide a range of basic cleaning supplies, and there is Piff Paff spray available under the sink should any crawling insects be seen. The house is treated regularly with professional pest control services, and I will consider increasing the frequency during peak summer months based on your comments. The air conditioning is supported by prepaid cards, which I provide free of charge. These are usually more than enough for a comfortable stay, and I’ve never had a guest need to purchase additional credit. It’s simply a way of promoting responsible usage while ensuring fair access for all. The security deposit is a long-standing part of the booking conditions and is clearly explained in both the listing and confirmation details. While I understand it may feel unusual for a shorter stay, it helps ensure the property is well maintained for every guest and has always been part of my policy. Regarding the pool, its layout and depth are clearly shown in the property photos. It is designed for safe family use, and many guests with children have enjoyed it without issue. I take pride in the consistently positive reviews I receive and the care I put into maintaining a clean, welcoming home for guests. I do take your comments seriously and will review them thoughtfully to see where further improvements can be made. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts. Warm regards, Stefan

    Everything was great. The house is really nice, very clean and with all the staff that we could need. The area is quiet but close to all by car.

    The whole property was absolutely stunning. The bed linens were clean and the showers were all spotless.

    We could have used with squeegees for the wet rooms to help clear water after showers.

    We had a fantastic stay! The house is very comfortable, well-equipped, and provided everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable visit. Highly satisfied and would definitely recommend!

    Bathroom upstairs was a bit slippery when wet. Another ensuite did not have a proper shower cubicle so water splashes out.

    Loved the house. It was a real home, full of character. Personal and quirky touches throughout. All the magnificent paintings are painted by the owner’s mom. My husband loved the sound system. Everything great - in fact I think I could live there!! Owner so helpful throughout. Thank you for our stay 🙏

    Small thing - no dishwasher.

    What an amazing place. From the information received prior to arrival, to the property itself. The place is immaculate, with a well stocked kitchen and amazing outdoor spaces. Bedrooms are comfy, all with an en-suite and a/c. The town is lovely with some great restaurants to visit. I could not recommend this place highly enough.

    Nothing, a perfect holiday retreat.

    My sisters and I had a beautiful stay at Carpe Diem, and we were sad to be leaving. The house was ample in size but still felt homely. The pool was crystal clear and a welcome relief from the heat. The location was perfect, just a short, easy walk to the square. Any questions asked were answered promptly by the owner. I would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone.

    The farmhouse was larger than expected, spotlessly clean and the pool area was amazing with gas barbecue too. Loved the patio upstairs. We stayed in the top bedroom and loved the stone spiral staircase to the top. Excellent location, loved it all and would definitely recommend and stay again.

    Nothing all perfect.

    Very large house with lots of space Outside terrace and pool area would be lovely in the summer but was too cold to use in Spring Full kitchen and lots of facilities Good distance to some brilliant restaurants Would be good for families with older children (not toddlers)

    There is a log burger/fire in the living room and it made our clothes smell of smoke as the sofas smelt of smoke (we didn’t use it) The beds and pillows were also quite uncomfortable unfortunately so we didn’t have the best sleep there. It’s not very toddler or baby safe as there are lots of very steep concrete steps. We ended up not using the main room at the top as the stairs were too narrow and steep for our toddler. The other rooms were better.

    Hi Danielle, thank you for the feedback, I am sorry that you found the wood burner made the room smell of smoke. The flu was changed last summer and the wood burners are serviced every year. I have spoken to my maintenance guy to check over both wood burners. Re: heating, the rooms can be heated with the AC units that are in the bedrooms and the lounge. Please can you also let me know about the cleaning, my cleaner is excellent and feedback would be welcome. Re: the beds I am sorry to hear that you did not sleep well. The mattresses are all orthopedic and offer excellent support. I will certainly have the mattresses and pillows checked.

    Spacious accomodation with lovely pool area. Great kitchen with all the things needed to prepare meals. Living and bedrooms set over 3 floors, lovely stone walls. Top floor bedroom accessed by tight spiral staircase, so a bit restricted for elderly or less mobile guests but the other 2 rooms are good on the first floor.

    We needed to chase up access information to the property, we didn’t to receive anything prior to our arrival. We were at the house waiting for details and messaging the owner… this was a bit stressful for our group. We were then sent details for access and instructions re operating things in the house, after chasing. The showers have no screens/curtains so when you shower the whole bathroom gets wet. The smallest bathroom floods under the door in to the bedroom due to this issue, but we managed to sort this out with a towel under the door - not too bad, just FYI.

    Carpe Diem is a house with character, huge and stunning. We fell in love, when we opened the door. It has two big terraces and private swimming pool. It is very clean, and you will find there all what you need to spent great holidays. Place to rest for some days and in convenient place ,close to all local amenities. We were sleeping on the bedroom of top, master bedroom, it is lovely, like sleeping in a castle. All bedrooms have their own bathroom, wifi, and AC. House is fully equiped. You will enjoy for sure your stay there, it is really really an awesome house. Owner is very friendly and answering all questions you have. I highly recommend carpe diem. If I am coming back to Gozo, will go there for sure.
