Advertised as a 'cosy/quaint cottage' is mis-leading, as are the photographs that are meant to represent the accommodation. On arrival, the house was dirty, with cobwebs and a layer of dust/grime in the kitchen on the appliances and the oven was not clean. The sofa and chairs were dirty, with stains and leftover food, which had not been cleared properly. To her credit, the owner did respond quickly by sending the 'cleaners' back - however they turned up without any cleaning products and asked to use our cloths/products. The prepared to take away the cushion covers for cleaning, but said it would take a week. The owner then provided throws for the furniture as we were only staying 8 days. The sofa was hard and uncomfortable and you could feel the springs when sitting for any length of time. The two wooden loungers were rickety with broken rungs and the coverings were too thin and covered with spots of black mould. The kitchen tap leaked into the cupboard below and caused an awful smell and we could not open it. The cutlery draw was dirty and none of the cutlery or crockery matched. On a positive note, the double bed was comfortable and the bathrooms we used (wet rooms) were clean - the showers were great. The wifi signal was strong, even outside around the pool and the air conditioning in the bedrooms is a real bonus when the weather is hot as there are no windows in either bedrooms. We were first drawn to this villa because of the description and photos on the HomeAway website and the fact that it had a pool. I would say that using old and new photos is misleading as from the photos we thought the villa was bigger than it actually was. In one photo there is a picture of an electric kettle - which was not present. I would advise anyone looking to stay here needs to know that there are no sunbathing areas - the high walls surrounding the property block out all sunlight, which might be a relief in the summer months, but we found this disappointing during the month of September. We choose villa holidays as they represent a home away from home and unfortunately this is not a home, holiday or otherwise. ##### Tina C. Stayed 8 nights in Sep 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sarah A. 27 Aug 2018 #### Nice house but almost impossible to eat outside Nice old house, well located to visit the Island The small swimming pool is pleasant However : - there is a tiny Space for à table outside, almost impossible to walk and eat at the table - bathrooms should be renovated - the house was really not clean ##### Sarah A. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bruce B. 23 Aug 2018 #### This is an idyllic rustic and rambling cottage, very private, comfortable We spent a lot of time in the pool which although small was a wonderful escape from the heat. The air conditioning is very effective and economical to use. A perfect setting to have a simple relaxing break, and well equipped for a weeks get away On arrival we were met in the town and escorted to the cottage then shown around by a very nice gentleman, any enquiries we had were quickly dealt with by a lovely local lady. Gozo has plenty to offer and the people are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended if you are looking for somewhere to switch off and escape the rat race. ##### Bruce B. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Roselyne G. 2 Aug 2018 #### Gozo - l'idéal pour décourvrir toutes les merveilles de Malte sans la foule des touristes Nous avons réservé cette villa sur un coup de cœur sans vraiment savoir qu'elle se trouvait sur Gozo au moment de notre choix. Très vite, on s'est posé beaucoup de questions auxquelles notre hôte s'est chargé de répondre de manière rassurante. Dès juin les ferrys vers Gozo circulent aussi de nuit et avec une arrivée à 22h35 à l'aéroport de Malte c'était plutôt une bonne nouvelle. Bref, nous avons pu rejoindre notre villa sans souci et cela même après minuit. La villa est confortable, la piscine appréciable, c'est une maison typique de Malte ancienne, en pierre et bien rénovée. Nous y avons passé un bon séjour. L'arrêt de bus en bas de la rue nous a permis des déplacements faciles et comme les chauffeurs de bus maltais ne sont pas très regardant sur les horaires de passage, on pouvait si le bus passait avant l'heure (souvent10 min d'avance) aller à pied au terminal de bus en 30 min à Victoria. Nous avons découvert toutes les beautés de l'île de Gozo, excursions en bateau et en Quad à faire pour découvrir au mieux cette île. Cependant il faut savoir que le jour ou nous avons visité La Valette sur Malte, nous avons du passer 8 heures dans les transport (Aller-retour Bus/Ferry) c'est long et fastidieux, si je devais donner un conseil c'est de louer sur Gozo une partie de la semaine pour découvrir l'île et louer une autre partie de la semaine sur Malte pour découvrir ses richesses sans passer trop de temps dans les transports. Quelques regrets : - Nous n'avons pas vu notre hôte et nous n'avons pas été accueillis, on s'est débrouillé seul le 1er jour pour identifier les commerces, trouver les horaires de bus sans carte etc... Aucunes infos à dispos dans la villa (ni cartes, ni infos sur les bus, activités, etc..) - Il y a 3 salles de bains dans la villa mais il y en a une vraiment très petite que nous n'avons pas utilisé car trop étroite pour s'y doucher. - Les moustiques sont virulents !! Pensez à prendre des bracelets anti moustiques ça aide ! - Gozo abrite aussi quelques insectes qui aiment se balader la nuit, ne soyez donc pas surpris de croiser de grosse blatte en balade dans la maison si vous descendez boire ou piquer une tête rafraichissante.. c'est local :-) - Enfin, la clim est payante, prévoyez de la monnaie, c'est pas excessif en terme de tarif et pour exemple on a fait la semaine avec 4 euros pour 2 chambres climatisées. ##### Roselyne G. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### sarah g. 18 Jun 2018 #### very nice house we really enjoyed our stay in the house. It looks just like on the pictures if not even better. Perfect to relax. There is a bus stop close by and its about 30 min walk to victoria or xlendi beach. The hosts are friendly and communication was easy as there were always quick responses if help was needed. ##### sarah g.
