Photos and Description of the Island of Gozo vacation farmhouse rental

Il-Marhab farmhouse is an authentic early 17th century farmhouse in Xewkija. It is within walking distance to the picturesque pebbly bay of Mgarr-Ix-Xini. You enter through the main stone arched hallway with patterned tiled floor into an open sunny courtyard lined with plants and a brilliant crimson bougainvillea. This leads to a large double bedroom with en suite bathroom. The wide stone staircase opens up to 3 double bedrooms (2 with en suite bathroom) on the 1st floor, a sunny loggia and an open terrace with views of the immense dome of the Rotunda church. It sleeps 9 persons comfortably. On the ground floor, there is the fully equipped oak kitchen with Venetian gold granite worktops, a carved dining table with 8 chairs, frost-free refrigerator, automatic washing machine, gas/electric cooker with hob and oven, cable TV, open fireplace and the main bathroom with bidet. Outside is a huge flagstone patio with 2 oval tables ideal for “al fresco” dining next to a bubbling fountain.

Location

Nearest beach:   beach at 2.0 Kilometres
Car: recommended

Xewkija is the oldest village in Gozo (population around 3,000). The mightily impressive Rotunda Church dedicated to Saint John the Baptist has the second highest dome, internally, in Europe (after St. Peter's in Rome) and celebrates its “festa” on the 4th Sunday in June. Similarly, the tiny pebbly beach of Mgarr-Ix-Xini (meaning the galley's landing place) which used to be the main port during the time of the Knights of Malta can be reached on foot or by car (the road is not for the drunk or fainthearted). It offers spectacular views of the emerald clear sea as well as the valley gorge below. Needless to say, it is great for snorkelling and diving - there are several coves to explore and enjoy.

Guest Book: We have all had a wonderful holiday in your lovely farmhouse and all of the family have particularly enjoyed the superb swimming pool. We have enjoyed so many aspects of this beautiful island and were charmed by the peace and quiet as well as the friendliness of all the people we met. We were lucky that we arrived the week of St. John's festa and must have had prime position for the fireworks (a bit surprised by the 8 am start). We have all had such a lovely relaxing time and we go home all too soon. We shall be telling our friends about it all. Thank you and best wishes. Monica Strauss & family, Munich. Just a quick note to thank you for your hospitality; we had a great vacation. Many thanks for all your arrangements, particularly the transfer and car hire, which was very helpful to us, being newcomers to the island.The farmhouse is beautiful and we enjoyed Gozo immensely, it is a very special island. We hope that one day we will return for another visit. Rosemary Clark, England.
