The photos of the property do not do it justice - Tony met us with the keys and our jaws dropped as we went through the door, he was very helpful, showed us on the map places of interest, places to eat and local festivals. We met the gardener twice, nice friendly local chap. The owner Noel was very helpful, answering our many questions before we travelled. The house is amazing and very spacious, large well equipped kitchen, lots of bathrooms. We spent a lot of time around the pool, in the afternoon and also in the evenings with a glass of wine. There is a small supermarket in walking distance which has everything you could need. We hired a car at the airport, managed to negotiate the ferry to Gozo very easily. Malta looked very built up and over commercialised so we didn't bother visiting. Gozo is set back in time and unspoilt. We heard the horror stories about driving in Malta/Gozo but we needn't have worried it was fine. We found a beautiful beach - Ramla which was fairly quiet, just a few umbrellas scattered but not ten deep as seen driving through Malta. We spent a lot of time at Xlendi - what a beautiful bay, several restaurants for all tastes, try dives, boat hire, pedaloes, snorkelling, fabulous ice cream. Visitied Azures Window, lovely cove for swimming, snorkelling. The weather was fantastic - very hot. Even with the children with us, this was probably one of the most relaxing holidays we have ever had and we will definitely go back again one day - hopefully to this house.
