About this property

Ponderosa Holiday Home

Fully converted authentic farmhouse with nice large pool area, BBQ, air-conditioning, free Wi-Fi

This centuries old property compliments the charm of the rural village of Gharb, which is a gem in itself with its quaint streets, and splendid church. The village also boasts exceptional country walks.

Property still retains rare features of when the property was a working farmhouse including, its own arched mill room with fully functional fireplace - now a beautifully furnished living space. Excellent for the winter months.

A separate kitchen and dining area also retains the ambiance of times of the past, when it was the heart and centre of rural family life. The old back garden has been turned into a spacious sun lounge with a great sized private pool. Completed with a built in stone BBQ area ideal for a summer evening meal.

The property sleeps 8, in four rustically furnished bedrooms (one with ensuite facilities) on the first floor, all of which retain old original features - some with arches spanning the room and others with stone roof side supports. All of which are quite rare to find in present day Gozo. The bedrooms are accessible through a wide airy corridor overlooking the pool area, again an old feature which takes you back centuries and gives the place a serene and cool ambiance. This floor is also equipped with two separate shower rooms.

A lovely villa
We had a great stay here. The pool and outdoor space was lovely, and the villa has a lot of space and character. The village it is in is very quiet, but all the main sites are just a short drive away. It was great to have a highchair and cot provided.

Rural and authentic paradise with full comfort
the location, in the heart of the village but beside champs, the old stones, the swiming-pool There is beside the property a small piece of land where garbages were deposed. It's no visual or smelling trouble at all but may be responsible for the too many moscitos. Also water evacuation may gain from more slide in order to keep stones dry by the swming-pool

das perfekte Urlaubsdomizil mit perfekten Gastgebern
Das Anwesen war sehr gepflegt und blitzsauber. Die Kommunikation im Vorfeld war sympathisch und zuvorkommend und sehr hilfreich. Uns wurden auf Wunsch Lebensmittel und Getränke zur Anreise kalt zur Verfügung gestellt. Ein Laden ist in ca. 5 Minuten Fußweg zu finden, das nächste Restaurant ist ebenfalls fußläufig zu erreichen. Auch die Ein- und Auscheck-Modalitäten waren super organisiert. Für uns ein perfekter Urlaub in einem wunderschönen Anwesen.
