Mgarr-ix-Xini is the closest beach, 30 mins walk and 10 mins by car. It is small and quiet with a cafe serving superb local fish 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 20 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. It is not essential to have a car on Gozo, but it is highly recommended to appreciate the full splendour of the island. Car hire is very cheap by European standards. Car hire can be arranged through the owner.
Distances
Sannat is a quiet village but has some very good restaurants and bars. There are local shops and the Ta' Cenc hotel with its Spa facility which can be used by non guests for a daily fee. All are easily walkable to the capital, Victoria 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 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 snorkling. 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
'The farmhouse is more spacious than we had ever imagined. The description on the website does not do it justice.'
'Sannat is one of the few villages that still retains a true Gozitan feel and has not been over run by ex-pats and tourists. Ta'Cenc Farmouse on the edge of the village and the spectacular plateau is an ideal place for a get away from it all break.'
The best testimonial is the number of people who return to the farmhouse. There are always several repeat visitors each year.
