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.

Leuke accommodatie
Fijn huis, lekkere bedden en keuken voorzien van alle huishoudelijke apparatuur. Alle ramen hebben horren. Het huis ligt op loopafstand van winkels en een mooi plein met lekkere restaurants. Het servies was niet geheel schoon en hebben we eerst afgewassen. Vaatwasser deed het wel maar waste niet zo schoon. Verder zou het fijn zijn wanneer er iets meer in huis is zoals kruiden, olie ed.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

A quirky old style large farmhouse with pool
This was just a Fantastic old Farmhouse with stairways and balcony's archways and skylights . swimming pool just the right size even if it was a bit fresh getting in, but once in it was fresh, the main square only 5mins away was always busy and there were many local shops with all you needed , the local people were friendly and helpful , Taxies are cheap only 10euros to the main city Victoria or go by bus even cheaper, manager was very helpful he met us at the local big mac in Victoria and then waited whilst the kids wet inside he then lead the way to the farmhouse (we had a car, which you can park outside). The ferry was easy only 20mins , the house keeper lived next door she was freindly, Gozo was much calmer than Malta, Cant wait to come back again , would recommend to all.

Wonderful renovated townhouse
This old townhouse is renovated with taste and style and a lot of wonderful details. The three bedrooms are spacious, the kitchen is well equipped and the sunlight coming through the roof windows makes the living area bright and sunny. Only criticism: The courtyard is a little bit too small for six sun beds, table, chairs and the pool, if the house is fully booked with six people. The property was spotless clean, Grace gave me a warm welcome and Donald was very helpful from the first contact on, he arranged the car rental and was flexible when I changed the booking dates. All in all: I would recommend the house.
