Cooking, Dining, Cleaning:
The large kitchen was completly renovated in May 2009. A new electric-cooker with ceramic stove top and oven with grill and air circulation became integrated in handmade kitchen-furnitures by a Gozitan carpenter. Also you will find a big refrigerator, separate freezer, dishwasher, toaster, coffee machine etc. In the dining room, which is connected to the kitchen, you can eat comfortably at a big massive pine-wood-table. Here as well: The pieces of furniture represent Gozo’s life. The house will be cleaned once a week by Mary, our „Pearl“ at Gozo, who lives in the neighbourhood. On this occasion, she will change the sufficiently existing towels and the bed-linen. If you should have any questions or problems, Mary will be able to help you for sure. Your dream-vacation can start!
What you can do:
Xaghra is just one of many lovely villages of Gozo. The island has many possibilities to go to. In Xaghra, you find the Gantijja Temples, a temple-installation, which is older than the pyramids of Cairo. You have the possibility to visit the cave of the Calypso. The story tells, Odysseus stayed there for a long time because of the beautiful woman Calypso. For children, the museum of toys is a must-have-seen. Furthermore, you can visit two caves and an old wind-mill. At the big place in front of the church, the residents meet to talk frequently. There is a number of different shops: supermarkets, butchers, mini markets (necessarily to go in to see how the people have shopped 100 years ago) hairdressers, pubs and restaurants - from which two are named in all guides!
Internet and Central-Heating:
From October 2009 onwards our guests can use the Internet Access (WLAN) withour charging!
Not quite for free we can offer the new installed central-heating in the winter. You have only to pay extra the running costs (oil)!
A central-heating is a absolutly exception in a rented farmhouse on the island. If you don't want to use the central-heating - no problem- the house had been heated before with gas heaters. You can use the gas-heaters, which you will get from us without charging (you'll pay only gas)!
