“Historic, unique, quiet, but a few issues left us feeling a bit disappointed”
- definitely an historic & unique place to stay in a beautiful & quiet lane, walkable from the bus depot (with care re traffic) & elsewhere; fairly priced - very prompt communications via WhatsApp from George & quickly helpful when we had a couple questions (1 was the TV remote was not working & he suggested taking the batteries from the a/c remote which solved that problem); we did not need heat or a/c during our stay - notice posted about heating the water in advance for shower or bath, so no issue there; we did not cook nor use the washing machine for our 3-day stay

A fine traditional Gozitan stone house - fitted with all modern conveniences, clean and quiet - with a ground floor patio and rooftop terrace. Well located in a charming narrow street in the old town near St George's Basilica and the Citadel. George was a gracious host

This genuine Gozitan house is nestled in one of the most serene parts of Victoria. It's comfortably close to the hustle of Republic Street and just a leisurely five-minute walk from the Citadel, yet the surroundings are incredibly peaceful. No cars are allowed in the narrow alley, and even most passers-by simply stop to take a photo at the entrance—unaware of what they’re missing inside. All amenities are exactly as described—no lengthy explanation needed. Our host, George, was extremely polite and helpful, always responding to our questions and needs within minutes.

“Fabulous authentic Maltese Farmhouse”
Excellent location really central and only a short walk from the Cittadella. Lovely walk up pretty alleyway to the Farmhouse which was huge set over 3 floors. Loved the concrete steps upto second floor bathroom and bedrooms for a change to using internal spiral stairs. Another flight upto roof terrace, lovely sun spot for drying washing. Lovely touches throughout, fully equipped kitchen and lovely courtyard for having breakfast each morning. Host lives next door and was very quick to respond with all communication. Definitely recommend to anyone wanting to stay in an authentic Maltese home.

Beautifully renovated traditional Gozan farmhouse, with thick stone walls, just behind the blue door. Lots of space. Roof top balcony, too hot for us, but loved sitting in the courtyard or on the verandah. Everything worked well. So convenient for getting around Gozo, able to bus or Uber.

“Fantastic Stay”
This property was amazing!! The location in the old town made it very easy to walk around and enjoy. We bought groceries and had everything in the kitchen that we required to make meals. The outdoor and indoor space was great and private and very comfortable. You can’t go wrong booking this place.

Just returned from a few days in Gozo, spent at this charming farmhouse. The well lit alley full of plants leads you to the bright blue door and into the yard. There is a kitchen, dining and tv room downstairs, two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. George was at hand to show me how to manage the bewildering range of channels and promptly changed the modem when it turned out to be faulty. Lots of blankets available and I did make use of the heating (only 2euro a night). We loved staying in this old part of rabat, spending our evenings at the cosy St George's square nearby where you can dine and drink .. a good time was had by all !

Super atmosphere and very nice experience in a beautifully renovated and decorated traditional house located in a small quiet alley in heart of Victoria. Aircon worked well in all rooms except kitchen and bathroom. Communication with owner was easy and good.
