Have a cup of herbal tea on your own private terrace with breathtaking valley views and a peek of the sea framed by the nearby lighthouse above.
Inhabiting a 400 year old farmhouse with unique architectural features, and converted to a high standard residence offering comfort, charm and relaxation, Dar tal-Kaptan features 4 themed studios, all with their own bathroom, private lounge area and outdoor terraces with fantastic views.

About the area
Ghasri
Located in Ta' Għammar, a neighbourhood in Ghasri, this apartment is in a rural area and by the sea. While the natural beauty of Ramla Bay Beach and Paradise Bay Beach can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can explore Gozo Ferry Terminal.
Gozo Nature Museum and Gozo Aqua Sports are also worth visiting. Jet skiing and scuba diving offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with horse riding and ecotours nearby.

About the host
Hosted by Warren Bugeja
Hi we are Peter and Warren
Passionate about travel, always curious about life, food, history, art and natural beauty, we enjoy meeting new people, sharing who we are and finding out what makes people tick. Peter is a bon-viveur, a born entertainer and host, a Doctor by profession and ceramic hobbyist. Warren is an English Language Teacher and has worked in PR, Journalism, Complementary Health and occasionally organises cultural and food related events.
We are both qualified masseurs, and love animals and laid back Mediterranean living, and are excited about welcoming you to Dar tal-Kaptan and our other accommodation.
Making people feel welcome, safe, relaxed and acknowledged is what we do best. Hosting and providing a nurturing, re-energising and playful, positive environment is what we have both always done in our respective homes in our free time. Therefore opening our doors to you is a natural extension of our innate lifestyle.
The Maltese Islands have always prided themselves on their openness, friendliness and tolerance, something of a survival skill that came hand in hand with centuries of colonial rule.
