Gorgeous Luxury 5 Bedroom Family Villa Pool Air-conditioning Powerful Mesh WIFI

Dar Ta Nina is just a two minute walk away from Xaghra's beautiful square with its excellent selection of restaurants and bars. This stunning five bedroom, 300 year old house of character is a haven of peace and tranquillity and has been tastefully renovated and furnished throughout.
Guests and friends say that the house has the feel and style of a baronial castle due to its central wrought iron chandelier, original thick stone walls, high ceilings and galleried stairways.
The house has the benefit of a powerful Mesh WiFi system throughout.
Set over three floors with a private outside pool and garden patio, the house has been fully renovated to exacting standards.
The house contains many original features including high ceilings, huge wooden beams, traditional Gozitan floor tiles and a wealth of stone arches.

The craftsmen built kitchen includes a polished marble counter top and a larger than standard Samsung fridge freezer. A large capacity stainless steel oven with five burner hob offers holiday chefs the opportunity to create their own dining experience. We like to cook and entertain and have therefore provided high grade pots, pans and utensils along with restaurant quality crockery, cutlery and glassware. A full sized built in dishwasher takes care of the washing up!

The handmade dining table will easily seat 10 to 12 guests and is overlooked by a feature lit ancient rubble wall, set within a tall stone arch and has views out to the swimming pool and garden.

The thoughtfully designed garden area is also equipped with a 10/12 seater dining table and chairs along with a brick built barbecue, stainless steel sink and ambient lighting to enjoy the lazy Gozitan evenings.
The garden also features an ancient and functional freshwater well that is covered by a laminated glass top for the safety of our guests.

The lounge area features an L shaped handmade sofa, another three seater sofa and a 55 inch Samsung OLED Smart TV giving access to Amazon Prime TV and Netflix. You will also find a DVD Blue-ray player and a good selection of hit movies. An Xbox and a selection of games will keep the youngsters happy.
For music lovers we have a John Lewis streaming system where you can access internet radio from around the world, DAB & FM radio for local stations. You can also stream music from your Spotify account or via Bluetooth from your personal device.

A traditional huge Gozitan feature fireplace takes pride of place and our winter guests will have the pleasure of being warm and cosy in front of the Norwegian Jotul log burning stove.

You will also find a bookcase housing board games and some great holiday novels. Relax in the comfy armchair with a good read. Please replace any books (if possible) should you need to take one home to finish.

At the rear of the house our guests will find the ground floor double bedroom which is air-conditioned and next to that an open plan wet room and toilet with rainfall shower. This bedroom and bathroom is suitable for guests who may have mobility issues. The bathroom also houses the very latest Samsung, Eco friendly washing machine. You'll also find a steam iron and ironing board within the store cupboard.

Highly recommended
We had a family group of adults (9 of us) and the property really suited. Plenty of room, nice pool and surround. Well furnished and equipped with everything you could think of. The manager, Rita, lives next door and she was very helpful. It's a little tricky to find initially as it is tucked away but just a short walk to the town square with bars/restaurants and a few shops. The master on the third floor is accessed by a spiral staircase which might challenge guests that are not that mobile. However it is great suite with 2 balconies. Overall would highly recommend the property.....5 stars!

Lovely house for family break
Very homely property with excellent quality fixtures and fittings, lighting options beautiful. Outside space is a courtyard , In Oct in constant shade so pool not usable . Roof terrace is where you’ll find the sun ! Very quiet area but square has restaurants, bars and food shop . Church is beautiful. Square is not pedestrianised so traffic flows through

Excellent service and immaculate property
We visited this lovely villa in August as a party of 5. The holiday had been postponed for two years due to covid and the owners were very flexible in terms of supporting us with the booking. The villa is beautifully presented, immaculately clean and spacious, with some lovely touches in terms of decor and lighting. The pool is also fabulous, and was not heavily chlorinated which made it particularly nice to swim in. Xaghra itself is a thrivjng town within two minutes walk away, with many nice restaurants. I would recommend booking in advance if you eat there. Ramla beach is about a 7 minute drive away, and is lovely, with orangy sands and sheltered in a bay. Recommend going early as it can get quite busy. Overall, I thoroughly recommend the property- communication and quality of villa excellent!

Perfect GOZO Stay
From the time my family of 5 was greeted, we felt welcome. Everything was beautifully ready for us and very clean. We had many nights by the pool and grilled dinners. Rita was super helpful with questions and offered to send my shoes back as I left them behind. Highly recommend for a family holiday, you won’t regret it.

A tasteful stay in the sun
The Property Is on three floors and has been renovated to a high standard with tasteful decor - a perfect blend of classic and contemporary. The highlight for us was the pool, located in a generously proportioned front courtyard with high walls and a solid gate ensuring privacy. The pool is larger than perhaps the photos suggest. The water was always warm -but we were there in forty degree heat - and (for us this is an asset) it is thankfully in shade in August from around 4pm - relieving us of the need to reapply sun tan lotion A word of warning if small children arent strong swimmers - The water gets deep very quickly (for us it was ideal, though) While the pool was the highlight, the top floor of the property deserves a highly honourable mention. If this were in a hotel, it would be described as a penthouse suite It has an ensuite, a balcony -and opens on to a magnificent roof terrace with a view to the sea. The doublebed and wardobes are spacious and there is a single bed too. Overall the house is very well equipped. Xagrha Is also a fantastic location. The house is in a quiet cul-de-sac yet just a couple of minites walk from the main square. It has a range of cafes and restaurants ranging from the reasonably priced to some -such as Latini - which border on fine dining. I'd also recommend regular visits to 73 in the Square where David and Tania create a fantastic atmosphere. Their bar boasts in fact 74 gins - (and many other drinks) and they were also helpful in many other ways with tips and information on what to see in Gozo and how to get around (there are hourly buses to the island Capital -Victoria/Rabat) and contributed significantly to our enjoyable stay The Ggantija Temples - a Workd Heritage Site - is at the edge of town Quibbles I found Craig and Andrea very very responsive to messages and Rita - their housekeeper - Is on hand next door if needed but our stay was problem free. My quibble would be that the air con was metered- probably a good idea for the environment and in discouraging over use but as It was particularly hot during our stay it tended to cost 5/6 euros to keep it going overnight and in to the morning. This wasn't particularly expensive but gave us the task of marshalling a collection of one or two euro coins each day to stay cool. (Fans were also provided) Overall the house was excellent value - It could easily accommodate three families- and I have no hesitation in recommending it

An amazing place to stay... the house is equipped with everything
It was fun and relaxing... No issues found... the only small problem was that it was not mentioned that WiFi only works on the ground floor as the house had a 1st floor and 2nd floor where WiFi was not available... no air conditioning in the common area but we where able to cool the kitchen and living room by using the air conditioner that was in the ground floor bedroom. The other thing is that I was not aware that I needed to pay for using the Air conditioning but the price was really worth it and we only used it at night Overall all it was just perfect.

Outstanding accomodation
I have to join others before me and confirm that the farmhouse was brilliant, better than expected actually. This might sound repetitive from other reviews but I totally agree that every room is indeed finished to an outstanding level and the farmhouse is equipped with all amenities that one would require (on a humoristic note, Alexa did act kind of crazy :-). Rita the housekeeper was indeed very helpful and welcoming and the responsiveness of Craig the owner was almost immediate. Will gladly recommend and look forward to another stay.

A beautiful large house of characters with a modern touch
Great location it is secluded and tranquil yet a few minutes walk away from the charming church square of Xaghra which is so close to restaurants, cafes and supermarket. The house itself is beautiful full of traditional Gozitan characters, spacious with a lot of natural lights, each bedroom is unqiue and the beds are super comfortable to sleep in. Lots of attention to details in terms of functionality and necessities prepared for guests. We all enjoyed the pool and roof terraces tremendously. The only suggestion is to perhaps put up curtains in the top floor bedroom and the room with 2 single beds. It gets very bright in early mornings (5/6am) but there's no curtains or blinds to block the light out.

Awesome 👏
We loved staying right in Xaghra. The house was a perfect way to explore Gozo and just hang out by the pool/roof top lounge. The kitchen, bbq, and outdoor space were our favorite spots. Everything we needed was in walking distance to town center. The restaurants at town center were great with large portions The owners are super responsive to our queries. Their recommendations were all spot on including Raymond Transportation. Since in Malta they drive on the other of the road and roads are tight, we used them every day.

The perfect house for large family holidays!
This house is truly stunning and has a great blend of historic charm and comfortable modern features all beautifully presented. The various living areas and terraces created such a tranquil environment which was such a benefit for our large family gathering. The pool was a definite highlight and is a great way to cool down and refresh after a morning of site seeing. In addition to the beauty of the house, it is also so well located to the main square in Xaghra, with all the restaurants, bars and shops an easy walk away. I recommended this house to anyone looking to stay in Gozo, we will definitely be coming back!

Excellent House
This house is beautiful, well decorated and clean throughout. It is well equipped and very comfortable. The aircon only took 3-4 euros to run all through the night in all bedrooms, and made such a difference in the heat. You do need to collect a few coins to put in it. Craig and Andrea were really helpful and quick to respond to any queries. They were very flexible with timings, so we could stay a bit later before we needed to leave for our plane. The pool was perfect, and the situation ideal for strolling a very short distance into the square or travelling a little further afield. It is also handy for the shops and other local attractions. This is the best house we have stayed in at Xaghra (been 3 x now) and we would certainly like to come back.

Beautiful Villa, tucked away in quiet village!
This villa was absolutely perfect for our stay on Gozo and Malta. There was plenty of room for all seven of us spread over 4 levels. The bedrooms are nicely sized, as well as the living areas on the bottom floor. And the outside space with the pool is lovely too! You are only minutes away from the village centre by the church which has a few restaurants, pubs and shops for groceries and everyday bits. If you are looking for a quiet holiday with good transport around the other islands then I would absolutely recommend this villa! It was a wonderful holiday and we would definitely go back! Many, many thanks!!!

Great house, great location.
We were a party of 2 families - 10 in total. There was enough sleeping space in the house and more than enough room to accommodate us. Several terraces and a great sun terrace. Also the outdoor area with the pool was heavily used! The house was equipped with all we needed and we were well looked after by the housekeeper who lives next door. A short walk to the lovely town square with various eateries and bars. Grocers and supermarkets in easy walking distance too. Also the Victory Club just outside the square was a great find! Good bus service to get around the island and good value. Also eating and drinking out very reasonable in terms of cost compared to other places we have been to. Would absolutely recommend a stay here. Would also recommend a boat trip round the island with stops to allow swimming in the sea part of the trip. Thank you Craig and Andrea for everything including all the useful information you sent us. Two things to help anyone else staying - take anti mosquito spray to use at night - that should keep the mozzies away - they don't make a noise so you don't know they are around! And the bakery van comes round at around 9am in the morning with a beep of the horn.
