Coast/Beach
Gozo has many contrasting beaches. The most popular one is Ramla Bay with its red sand, which is reached by car from Sannat, about 20 mins drive. Mgarr-ix-Xini is the closest beach, 30 mins walk and 10 mins by car. It is small and quiet with a superb local fish beach restaurant etc. Other beaches can be reached by car, all within 20 mins. The Sanap cliffs are 5 mins walk away on the Ta' Cenc plateau: the most spectacular area of Gozo. Sunset there as the cliffs change colour is very special.
Travel
Visitors will typically arrive at Malta airport and a transfer to the ferry port can be arranged, a 30 min drive. The ferry to Gozo runs regularly, normally every 30 min in summer. The crossing lasts 25 mins. A 10 min drive, also arranged, brings you to the farmhouse. Unless you are on a walking or cycling holiday, car hire is recommended in order to appreciate the full splendour of the island. Car hire is cheap by European standards. Car hire can be arranged locally by the owner if requested.
Distances
Sannat is a quiet village but has two very good restaurants and some good bars. Rosina's Bar in the old village square is a treasure. There are local shops and the Ta' Cenc hotel with its Spa facility and beauty treatments. The largest village, (Victoria/Rabat) with it's historic Citadel, is 2 miles away. Gozo is a small island so all other places of interest, of which there are many can be reached by car within 20 mins.
Further details
A holiday in Gozo, the second and smaller island of Malta in the centre of the Mediterranean, is the ideal retreat. The sea is only 10 mins from any point on the island. Gentle currents keep it clear and clean, making Gozo perfect for water sports. It is generally recognised as the best spot in the Med for divers and snorkeling. Gozo's history includes influences from the Phoenicians and the Moors to the British and the Italians. But with all its beauty, it is the people of Gozo that create the mood. Almost all speak English and Italian, and are friendly and welcoming. Each of the 13 villages holds a fiesta during the summer - a feast of food, fireworks and music and, of course, a good measure of drink. Visitors on holiday in Gozo will be impressed by many things, but above all, it is the friendliness of the people that draws them back time and again. Heritage - The Ggantija temples, built between 4100 and 2500 BC, are thought to be the oldest free-standing structures in the world. They take their name from the Maltese word 'Ggant' meaning 'giant', due to their sheer size and height. The Old Citadel is built on the strategic vantage point of Victoria, dominating the town's skyline. It dates back to Neolithic times, but was first fortified around 1500 BC. During the Roman era, Gozo was a privileged Roman municipality independent from Malta, and the Citadel was the administrative, military and religious focal point of the island. Along the fortified ramparts, there is a breathtaking 360-degree panorama of Gozo's countryside: hills and valleys, villages and church domes. The island is a paradise for ramblers, at its peak in the spring and early summer when wild flowers abound. Sailing and fishing trips are always available, as are diving courses and island tours. There are a wide selection of museums and craft centres. The attractions of Malta are also easily reached by car and ferry.

Guest comments
Hi Chris,
Home safely although a bit of a delay on the flight.Thank you so much for providing such a lovely farmhouse - it was better than described.
The accommodation was great & all the extras - lilos, books , dvd's etc made it feel like a home in the sun rather than a bland holiday let.
If there is anywhere that you would like a review posting please let me know.
We all had a lovely holiday & it exceeded our expectations - Gozo is a great island - we all want to return.
Good to meet you & thanks for all your help
best regards Julia, Tavish, Max & Hazel
