Boutique Style Farmhouse + Private Sunny Pool & Private Sunny Upstairs Terrace

irritating small issues reduce the rating

Just got back from a wonderful 7 night stay at Sonja's beautiful home in Xaghra, Gozo.

What a great choice we made! Her place is a stylish and comfortable converted farmhouse, a little like an upmarket boutique hotel but with the touches that actually make it a home which most obviously it is.

When we opened the front door and went in we were hit with the wow factor and after exploring the house further felt immediately at home and took no time to feel totally relaxed.

It has some great areas in which to chill out like the pool area and the upstairs terrace that sits just outside the bedrooms. We were out exploring beautiful Gozo most of the time but when back at home we really enjoyed making use of these areas and took a dip in the pool everyday.

The living room too was nice and comfortable just to relax in sometimes when inside.

The kitchen was great although we only used it for breakfast mostly as we ate out a lot, but it was very well equipped and I imagine you could make some really nice meals in it. It has a breakfast bar type island in the centre which we liked to sit around in the mornings discussing our plans for the day.

The location was pretty much perfect for us too. The island is small and easily navigated in no time at all really. We had a car for the week but there is a great bus service provided and there is a stop just a stones throw from the house. Taxis are also plentiful and cheap.

The main thing with the location though was it's proximity to Xaghra's village square, only about a 5 minute stroll away. We made use of the fantastic little restaurants that are there most evenings and were most lucky to visit the week before their annual festival. There was always something going on in the square and everyone was so happy and friendly.

Sonja was great too even though we never met was a fantastic host and was extremely helpful - she was absolutely brilliant with any correspondence and pretty much replied to any emails in no time at all.

All in all it made for an absolutely wonderful holiday and I couldn't recommend it highly enough. Do yourself a favour, stop searching and book now!

We loved Gozo and Sonja's home and promise we will be back soon!

PS I could have carried on with this review and gushed about the home and holiday a lot longer but have ran out of available characters!!!!

This amazing revamped old farmhouse, at walking distance of the centre of Xaghra, might go unnoticed at first sight. But when entering the house ... private pool with a terrace, a terrace on the roof and a terrace on the 1st floor! The character of the house is combined with contemporary touches of interior design. Plenty of space for unwinding, wining & dining. Very suitable for a relaxed holiday. And if you want to go for some trips (like Ramla Bay, Xlendi, Victoria, Marsalforn, ...): the house is near bus stops or a hired car brings you anywhere on the island within 10 to 20 minutes. And Xaghra's cosy little centre, with restaurants, bars, ... A perfect holiday hideway.

Had a super time with my family enjoying the pool and relaxing reading my book on the terrace with a glass of wine.

We didn't always feel like cooking dinner and the picturesque Xaghra square which has plenty of restaurants and bars is only a 5/10 min walk away. Would love to come back staying 2 weeks instead of 1!

This house is a hidden gem, having never been to Gozo before I was curious to see what it had to offer and I wasn’t disappointed.

The accommodation is wonderful, a modern take but compliments the traditional Maltase look the owners have a great eye. The rooms are very spacious, Wifi and the house has its own private pool.

This beautiful farmhouse is located in the heart of Xaghra which is handy for shops, coffee shops, restaurants etc. It is also conveniently located to beach such as Ramla Bay if you fancy topping up the tan in addition to the main city of Victoria if you would like to do some shopping or visit the amazing Citadel. This island is full of historical locations

I was there in mid June of last year so got a feel for the place in the sun which was fantastic but returned earlier this year when the temperature was still very pleasant and even though it would have been off season there was still plenty to do, place to explore.

I would recommend this place to anyone.
