About this property

Villa/ Farmhouse with Private Pool and Stunning Sea & Country Views + Sun Sets

Situated in the small tranquil village of San Lawrenz, on the Island of Gozo, this marvelous villa/ farmhouse is truly one of a kind. The property was converted from its derelict state, to a traditional villa / farmhouse of the highest standard, keeping the property’s original and traditional charm whilst responding to modern needs.

Tal-Bjar is the perfect place for those travelers looking for a peaceful, relaxing holiday on the magical Island of Gozo, in a comfortable, well planned property.


Tal-Bjar consists of 4 bedrooms (sleeps 8+), all having an en-suite bathroom/ shower room . All 4 bedrooms come equipped with ceiling fans and air-conditioners (on a pay- per- use card system). All rooms are flooded with natural light and are very airy.

The villa / farmhouse boasts stunning unobstructed sea and country views, right from the pool deck, kitchen, living room and 3 of its 4 bedrooms. The early and late summer months offer spectacular sunsets right from these viewpoints.

The fully equipped spacious kitchen and cozy living room conveniently overlook the private pool, outdoor dining and BBQ area. The indoor dining area, suitably just off the kitchen, comfortably caters for 8 people. For further practicality, there is a spare toilet both inside and outside next to pool.

The outdoors consists of a good sized private sunny overflow pool with an open Jacuzzi, a BBQ, a large teak outdoor dining table, teak loungers, adequate shading and pool shower.

Great emphasis is placed on the property’s cleanliness when handed over and that the guests are also attended to appropriately during their stay. We also choose to personally welcome guests ourselves and show them around the house on arrival providing some useful local tips and answering any questions one may have.

Tal-Bjar is located just a short walk/ 2 minute drive away from Gozo’s most popular attraction - Dwejra Bay, with it's dramatic coast, the imposing Fungus Rock, Watch Tower and the picturesque Inland Sea.

The property is conveniently within close distance from minimarkets and restaurants and just a 5 minute drive from the Island's City Centre and it's imposing Citadel.

The property undergoes thorough maintenance during the lesser busy periods, and improvements are made on a yearly basis in order to continue to raise the standard and enhance the quality of each stay at Tal-Bjar.

Tal-Bjar is accredited by the Malta Tourism Authority.

Feel free to check out what guests have had to say about Tal-Bjar in the ‘reviews’ section and on TA.

Joe and Mary Schembri would love to have the opportunity to welcome you at Tal-Bjar.

Perfect setting
The most perfect setting to take in the Gozo sunsets. A quiet, immaculate and spacious property, kitchen was very well equipped for self-catering, a great restaurant and friendly and well-stocked village shop in the square just down the road. A gem of a place, we wish we could have stayed for longer, but maybe next time...

À wonderful stay in a beautiful property!
We booked a very special birthday celebration with my sons at this property and couldn’t have been more pleased and indeed very happy. All the facilities one could possibly need and a delightful host who kept us informed every step of the way. Nothing was too much trouble and Joe even left us some welcome goodies so that we didn’t need to dash around getting provisions on arrival. All of the rooms had an en-suite with air conditioning available which was needed as it was lovely and warm during our stay. The pool and garden area is one of the loveliest I’ve seen And everything was spotlessly clean. We are all agreed that we will definitely go back next time we visit. Thank you Joe x

September in San Lawrenz
We spent a very enjoyable week at this villa. Joe is an excellent, welcoming and supportive host. The villa is spacious and well equipped. The pool is just lovely, with plenty of seating and sunset views. A short walk to the centre of San Lawrenz and within easy striking distance from the inland sea, beaches and Victoria.

A very lovely farm house stunning views out over the fields to the sea
This is a lovely farm house well maintained and with good facilities. It is situated on the edge of St. Lawernz but only a 5 minute walk back to the town square. The garden and pool as superb and have the sun all day. We will be coming back.

Fantastic villa with pool in a stunning location
Very comfortable and well-equipped villa with everything you might need, including a travel cot and high chair. We enjoyed the fabulous swimming pool and watched some stunning sunsets over the sea from the patio. The villa is located about a 10 minute drive west of Victoria and within walking distance of beautiful Dwejra on the coast. Joe was very helpful and prompt with responses and able to arrange airport transfers and car hire. Highly recommend staying here and plan to return next time we visit Gozo.

Stunning!
Had the privilege of spending a few days at Tal-Bjar Farmhouse in San Lawrenz, GOZO. Visualize living in a beautiful victorian era castle and you might get an idea. Very well equipped with all your modern amenities and to add an extra wow...15 minute walk to the Azure Window. Loved, loved, loved it! Will definitely be back.

Tal bjar
My family and I have just spent 1 week at tal bjar. What a beautiful villa, with very spacious rooms there is also lots of space around the pool with plenty of loungers and seating. The view takes your breath away and you never tire of looking out to the Mediterranean Sea. We loved our time at the villa and were very sad to leave. We hope to return sometime soon.

Super villa in a great area of Gozo
Stayed at Tal-Bjar villa / farmhouse with a family of 5 in late October for a week. It's beautifully secluded, full of character and well equipped. This was our 2nd visit as the kids loved the pool so much last year. The house is just down the road from the Blue Hole which has amazing views and great snorkelling. Joe is super organised and arranged for a taxi from the airport plus a hired car to be delivered to the house. 5 stars for the house and 5 stars for the Joe! :-)

unbelievably beautiful
We really appreciated our stay at Gozo as well as at this really magnificant house with all its beauty and extraordinary location at the edge of little San Lawrenz village. The big terrace with pool and unspoilt view on the sea was our beloved place. Also charme and use of the different rooms (every bedroom with its own bath) being of real pleasure for us. Joe invited us with an open gesture and always had an ear for any questions we have had. All in all a perfect stay in a great surrounding - only the one week stay was far too short...

Best holiday we have had in years!
Beautiful house and beautiful setting with wonderful views. The house is a typical Gozitan village house wonderfully renovated and a joy to stay in. Peaceful location yet within easy reach of a lovely village and the capital Victoria. Joe and his wife were really helpful throughout our stay. When we arrived they showed us the house and told us where to go locally for amenities and good restaurants. The house is well equipped. The teenagers loved the pool and the poolside area with shady palms and beautiful flowers. Gozo is amazing. We managed to see most of the island in a week and were lucky enough to have arrived in a feast day week (15th August). We joined some amazing celebrations in Victoria. We will certainly want to return again :)

The best farmhouse on Gozo , cosy,accurate and lovely
The owner of the house and his wife met me and my children personally at the house and showed us everything around the house. The communication between the owner was very good , he was available for all questions and very helpful . The village where the farmhouse situated is really clean and local people are very friendly and helpful with children and questions . We had even dinner together with the neighbors and a nice chat . We recommend this farmhouse to all families because it’s got so many rooms and every member could have peace and his own space. The view is spectacular and the house has got everything you need for a comfortable staying : dishwasher, washing machine , all kind of dish ... we loved it so much and we will rent it once again !!!!!

Step into the magic of GOZO
As we walked into Tal Bjar, we felt like we had stepped back in time into a world of days gone by - but with great modern amenities & ensuites! Looking out across the pool over farmer's fields to the sea at Dwejra Bay, we could imagine ourselves in a time past. Look up to the juliet balconies and palm trees swaying in the ocean air - at night the star filled sky transported us. Joe and his family were great hosts - always attentive to our needs, from beginning to end! A short walk to a great local grocer, an excellent restaurant and a casual local bar with pizza and burgers all within the courtyard of the San Lawrenz church square. Wander further, and there is always something to see. A convenient 10 minute drive to Victoria, 20 min drive to the ferry to Malta. Local Car hire, Gozo Garage was most helpful. Transfers to and from the airport were seamless. We would highly recommend this vacation rental- we loved our time at Tal Bjar.

A lovely place to stay with friends
We had 6 adults sharing the property and had a wonderful time. Joe was absolutely delightful and made everything so easy for us. He helped organise our transfer from the airport and had left us some treats in the fridge so we didn’t have to go straight to the shop when we arrived. The villa is perfect. 10/10! The area is slightly quieter than we expected, and we were informed by Joe that it’s very much not a location for parties etc and to keep the noise down at night, which was fair. There’s one very nice restaurant in the town, and another place which was good. The nearest supermarket with options is about a 10-15 minute walk away and other than that there is very little around. We found that we spent most of our time in the villa or going to other locations, we didn’t spend time in St Lawrence because it’s so quiet, but transport was easy, and there are some lovely restaurants in Xlendi which was 15 mins drive away. Would absolutely recommend the villa.

Wir waren mit zwei Familien hier und es hat allen aussergewöhnlich gefallen. Es gibt insgesamt vier Schlafzimmer, alle mit Dusche und Wc und bei dreien auch mit Blick aufs Meer.
