About this property

A pretty farmhouse, set in a private alley, that was restored to a very high quality 17 years ago. Many old features that are retained in this property, the feed mangers and tie hooks for the animals in the ground floor rooms, give a historic ambience to this traditional farmhouse. Wonderfully located only a 20 minute walk to Ramla Bay (the best beach on the islands) and very close to shops and the bus stop only 80 metres. 2 air conditioned double bedrooms (can be set as twin rooms), with two high quality bathrooms (1 ensuite), a small terrace at 1st floor, a kitchen dining / reception room also with air conditioning, WC, external laundry room with washer and dryer, TV (with multi language channels) and WiFi. The property is accredited by the MALTA TOURISM AUTHORITY; LICENCE NO: HPI/G/0277.
This is a very old farmhouse in a village location down a small private alley, with a local carpenter opposite [update MAY 2023, the carpenter has now moved his workshop out of his garage], Ta Carmela is a perfect base to immerse yourself into local Gozitan life.
The house has a spiral staircase so is not recommended for young children or the very elderly.
Xaghra is one of the largest and busiest hilltop villages almost central on the Island and has a beautiful Church square with some wonderful restaurants only 15 mins walk which is downhill on the way back!
Xaghra is also the location of Ggantija neolithic temples (3600 bc) a UNESCO World Heritage site only 850 metres away from Ta Carmela.

Excellent Accommodation

We thoroughly enjoyed our weeks stay at Ta Carmela in what is a fabulous farmhouse. The property is both spacious and furnished to a very high standard which was well above our expectations. It is very well equipped with everything you need for a self catering holiday and we would not hesitate in booking this fabulous house in the future. Excellent communications from beginning to end.

Absolutely Wonderful !

What an absolute gem of accommodation. We loved the location away from hussle and bussle but convenient to access other areas of Gozo as bus stop just around the corner which we used to visit Marsalforn a busier town/harbour (great evening eating by the sea) and Victoria the capital (to spend half a day at the Cittadella) . It is only a 10-15min walk to the quiet town square of Xaghra with a few restaurants. The 2 recommended by owner were lovely food and service. Beautiful beach Ramla Bay 20min walk away down hill but a very steep climb back up which we opted to do to burn off some calories from all the tasty food and drink on the island plus beautiful views but you can get buses and taxis there is also good beachside food available at 2 cafe/restaurants. Easy walking distance as little as 10mins to Historic temples, windmill and caves. We will definitely return to this perfect holiday accommodation and destination as it had everything to offer for a perfect holiday for us !

Beautifully restored stone house, perfectly located

Down a quiet side street a short walk from the centre of the small town of Xaghra, this is a beautifully converted old house & thoughtfully equipped. Gozo is so small that nowhere is far from where you're staying, but with a car, easy to reach the beaches at Mgarr-ix-Xini (amazing snorkelling & diving, nice fish restaurant) Ramla Bay (sandy & good for kids) & easy walk to restaurants/banks/food shopping etc in Xaghra; close to ferry from Malta too. Very laidback, relaxing holiday all round!

First time Gozo

Fabulous property - very high standard and plenty of space. The house has been finished beautifully with amazing bathrooms and everything you would need. Our stay was peaceful and ideally located close enough to walk to local bars and restaurants We enjoyed trips to nearby Victoria and Xlendi I would stay here again.

Clean, cosy, authentic in a friendly neighbourhood

We spent a very comfortable week with our two adult children. There was plenty of room for all of us, with lots of space to sit, bathrooms, books, guidebooks etc. The welcome pack was much appreciated (although we struggled to find capsules to fit the coffee machine when we needed more). It was very useful to be so close to a bus stop as we used the bus most days in order to get to different parts of the island for some long walks (good walking guides in the farmhouse). Meanwhile our children enjoyed walking up and down most days to Ramla Bay, rewarding themselves with the excellent ice cream sold by the van there. The information sent to us before our arrival was helpful, although it would have been useful to have had some foolproof instructions on how to walk from the village square to the property (as well as the driving instructions from the ferry). We arrived in Mgarr after a very early morning flight and the friendly taxi driver took us to the square to have lunch because it was too early to check in. He confidently pointed out the direction we needed to walk to find where we were staying, but it turned out to be the opposite direction. It took us about an hour to find our way there, eventually with the help of Carmen the housekeeper. Once we were less sleep-deprived we realised it was actually a really easy 15-20 minute walk in almost a straight line. We felt, briefly, that we were part of the local community, having happened upon the lampuki festival held just down the street on our first night, and with nightly exchanges of "good evening" with the locals we encountered sitting out as we walked to and from the square. Both the farmhouse and the island were fantastic and we have no hesitation in recommending it to others, especially anyone with adult children.
