It is no secret that the accommodation you choose can make or break your holiday. After a day of exploring a new place, there is nothing better than returning to a space where you can recharge for the adventures ahead. To make choosing your stay a little easier, we have shortlisted five of our favourite farmhouses and villas, located across four charming villages in Gozo. Whether you are seeking a private pool, a quiet yet accessible neighbourhood, or a property that is a destination in itself, one of these five exceptional holiday homes is sure to tick all the right boxes.
Ta’ Leli Farmhouse
Located on a quiet street in the village of Xagħra is Ta’ Leli farmhouse: our highly rated accommodation ideal for a family or three couples. With its wooden beams, limestone arches that celebrate the skill of local masons, and wrought-iron chandeliers, Ta’ Leli is the perfect place to return to for a cosy evening in after a day of exploration. The simple rustic décor is bound to transport you to a slower-paced time and place. Yet, Ta’ Leli is equipped with all the modern comforts you may need during your stay; from Wi-Fi and coin-operated air-conditioning to a microwave and a private pool.
The villa is located within walking distance of the Unesco-listed Ġgantija Temples and Ta’ Kola Windmill, dating back to the rule of the Knights on the islands. A short walk will get you to the lively village square, which is dominated by the 19th-century parish church dedicated to the Nativity of the Virgin Mary. The reddish sands of the stunning Ramla Bay are not far off either, and can be reached within minutes by car or by bus.

La Rustica Holiday Home
This spacious villa is also located in Xagħra and can accommodate up to nine people. From the moment you step up to the wooden door, with its wrought-iron knocker and old-fashioned lantern hanging overhead, tranquillity becomes the mood of your stay. The views of the Gozitan countryside, enjoyed from the pool area and terrace of La Rustica, perfectly set the scene for a relaxing escape in beautiful Gozo.
One of the beauties of La Rustica is that it adapts well to all seasons. The barbecue area and private pool offer plenty of opportunities for outdoor relaxation when the sun shines, while the generously sized kitchen and living space, built around a fireplace, provide a warm and inviting retreat on cooler evenings. Each of the property’s four bedrooms has its own en-suite and distinct character, with typical Maltese tiles adding quirkiness and colour to the sleeping quarters.

Veduta Holiday Home
Found in the village of Qala, this sunny villa takes its name from the spectacular views it enjoys from practically every angle. On the top floor, a jacuzzi awaits, inviting you to unwind while soaking up the beauty that surrounds you. On sunny days, sunlight floods the area, streaming in through a skylight and a large window directly opposite the tub. From here, you can observe a 16th-century chapel, the ferry crossing between Malta and Gozo, and Comino in the distance.
For a change of scenery, head down to the pool and deck area, and fire up the barbecue. And when you are ready to explore, Ħondoq Bay is just a 15-minute walk away. Equipped with all the essential amenities – from a microwave to a washing machine – and perfect for a group of six, Veduta holiday home must be experienced to be fully appreciated.

Ta’ Indri
With its striking blue doors and apertures, Ta’ Indri country house is difficult to miss. Its stand-out feature is the outdoor area, with its private pool, gardens, and various spaces where one can lounge in the sun. The four-bedroom property also features a balcony and a terrace, both of which command views of the countryside and the sea.
Nestled in the village of Żebbuġ, Ta’ Indri is only a very short drive or bus ride from the bays of Marsalforn, Qbajjar, and Xwejni, as well as the scenic salt pans. Adventurous walkers can reach these places on foot, although the return journey to Żebbuġ might prove to be significantly challenging given that the village is perched on a hill. Some 10 minutes away from Ta’ Indri is the village square, which offers a couple of dining options, a place where to get basic groceries, and the parish church.

Ta’ Majsi
The sleepy village of Għarb is home to Ta’ Majsi, an authentic rural retreat that accommodates up to 12 guests. The farmhouse offers a mix of spacious shared areas and generously sized bedrooms, each with en-suite facilities and a balcony, allowing the group to enjoy both time together and moments of privacy. The centrepiece of this property is the 9m x 3.5m swimming pool, surrounded by the deck and barbecue. When the weather calls for indoor activities, Ta’ Majsi’s comfortable living spaces, equipped with a TV and a fireplace, and the well-sized kitchen, provide the perfect setting to make memories together and plan the days ahead.
