We had a lovely 6 night stay in this property. Very spacious and comfortable and the garden and pool were lovely. Excellent location close to beach, restaurants and other amenities including dive centre (Atlantis) on the same street. Teenage kids loved it! Would highly recommend.

We had a lovely stay at Derek and Marian’s property. The house had everything inside that we needed and the beds were very comfortable. However, the best thing about the house was the outside space. The pool was gorgeous and very big. The gardens and separate patio area were also stunning with beautiful plants and lots of interesting features and places to relax. The location was also excellent, just a 5 minute walk to the beachfront. The interior is not modern but has lots of old world charm and is great value for money. The hosts were very friendly and helpful too.

Our stay was absolutely brilliant. The accommodation is in a prime location and the pool was a highlight for everyone. The promenade, with its restaurants, boat hire and ice-cream parlours, is just a few minutes’ walk away. Other attractions such as the Blue Lagoon, the Blue Hole and Ramla Beach are a 15–20-minute drive away. Everything had been thought of at the accommodation: from kitchen equipment to air mattresses, barbecue coals and toilet paper. Everything was provided .Whenever we had any questions, we received a reply within a few minutes, and the communication was always friendly and very polite.We can recommend this accommodation 100 per cent. Thank you very much Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

We had a wonderful family holiday here. This is one of the few houses in Marsalforn with its own private pool, which made it extra special. The house and garden are absolutely beautiful – created with love and care over the years by Derek and his lovely wife. Everything felt welcoming and thoughtfully designed, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy our time together. Highly recommended!

Wonderful stay in Marsalforn / Gozo

We had an excellent stay: a real oasis of tranquility in Marsalforn with the private pool,the wonderful garden and free views. But also very close to the bay of Marsalforn with its restaurants. The house was lovely and spacious. Nice bedrooms and bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen and excellent wifi and smart tv. And the family Fenech are excellent hosts and very quick in reponding.

Nice house, beautiful swimmingpool and good location

We enjoyed staying in the house in Marsalforn. The house has a fabulous pool and many cosy corners and terrasses to sit on. The house is not new but it's clean. The only thing that bothered us, was the quality of the beds. The mattrasses really needs to be replaced. In General, we can really recommend this house for the holydays.

fab outside space!

The apartment was just lovely - and the outside was particularly fab! The pool was great and the gardens were wonderful - lots of nice shady areas to sit and read, as well as large sunny areas all around the pool. Just perfect!
