The Arrival

You turn off the main road and stroll past an entry gate between dry-stone walls. The house looms large in front of you — cream-coloured limestone warming in the afternoon light. This is a house that has learned slowness over generations. Three-feet thick stone walls keep the interior cool. Cangatura tiles stretch beneath the feet. Light enters through large bay windows. There is no noise here except the church bells, twice daily, marking time in a way that feels almost forgotten.

The Experience

Old World Architecture

Built from local limestone - quarried locally, laid by hands that learned from their parents. Original features remain: arched doorways, the malja, stone benches. Restoration was careful. Nothing added that did not belong.

Outdoor Living

The terrace wraps around two sides. Morning begins with coffee at the stone table, watching light move across fields toward the sea. Evening means watching the sky shift from copper to violet, then to stars.

Bedrooms & Comfort

Five bedrooms, each different. Some open onto the terrace; others have small balconies. Crisp white cotton. Traditional tilework. The master bedroom has its own private terrace for stargazing.

Kitchen & Dining

A kitchen designed for gathering. Central island, open to dining, equipped for full meals or simple breakfasts. Wood fireplace for cooler evenings. Terrace dining with view.

Location

Għarb is the highest village in Gozo - northwest of the tourist areas, yet minutes from everything. The village centre is a ten-minute walk: a square with church, restaurants, bakery, shop.

This is not a constructed tourist experience. It is a working village that has welcomed visitors for centuries.
