Avis Idyllic Farmhouse with Pools and Views

An sich alles super. Es ist ein wenig abgelegen, was aber auch seine Vorteile hat. Das Haus an sich ist super auch die beiden Pools. Die Küche hat alles was man braucht, hatte aber anscheinend Mal einen Wasserschaden. Direkt hinter dem Haus ist eine Pferde Ranch was dazu führen kann, das es ab und an Mal danach riecht. Hat uns persönlich aber nicht gestört. Alles in allem waren wir zufrieden und ziehen sogar in Betracht nochmal wiederzukommen. Leider hat der Vermieter später nicht mehr auf Nachrichten reagiert, was mich gestört hat. Darum hier nur 3 Sterne.

Alles sauber und schön, leider eher abgelegen. Indoor Pool war nicht beheizt und daher sehr kalt.

The house is in a very rural area of Gozo and has no direct access by car. To access the property you have to park on the road and then walk down an alley (approximately 400 feet) to the house. The kitchen urgently needs renovation, which we understand will be done shortly. Dishwasher and kitchen counters need to be replaced and also pots and pans. The linen and blankets also need updating and more care has to be paid to the size of the linens and blankets. A twin blanket on a queen bed does not work. Equally, a king fitted sheet on a queen sized bed does not work very well either. The outside pool was very nice and well maintained after the pool guy fixed the pump timer. The indoor pool is not heated in summer and is effectively unavailable. A clothes dryer was specified in the description on Home Away and we expected a tumble dryer. It was non-existent but the house is equipped with a clothes drying rack to put on the patio. The clothes did however dry very quickly in summer. Air Conditioning - It’s a hot year but we think it would be fair to explain that only the bedrooms have a/c not the living room. There are however three portable fans in the living room. The most disappointing fact about this property which is basically a lovely house with a few deficiencies is that it is located in close proximity to the Gozo Riding Stables. In hot weather, the pool area will occasionally smell like a barnyard depending on the wind direction and additionally, you will often be awakened very early by a choir of a rooster, a pea hen and a hungry donkey. The caretakers, Miriam and her sister did an excellent job presenting a clean property. The Owner was also great; good communication and very proactive with problems or questions.

We stayed at Tal-Badessa for 7 days. Its a big villa and enough space for 12 people very comfortably (we are 7 adults and 5 kids), although the house has minor damages which the owner is aware of this was kept clean by their lovely and very helpful house keeper. Arnold, the owner was very responsive to questions we have and kept us informed regarding the location of the property etc. Although we had a slight confusion about transfers the owners have been helpful in sorting part of this for us and made us feel we are looked after and ensure our stay is going all fine. The housekeeper dropped by couple of times to ask if there is anything we need and also helped us arranged transportations to go around the islands and suggested boat trips, transfers from the villa to the airport and other little things that made our holiday smooth and enjoyable. The rooms are really spacious and clean as well as the bathrooms and kitchen. There are enough utensils for cooking and barbecue was clean for us to use. If there are suggestions they could probably do with updating some kitchen/cooking utensils but otherwise they are clean for use. We would like to thank Arnold and his team for making our holiday an unforgettable one. We enjoyed our stay and happy to recommend this villa and will stay again in the future given another chance to go back to Gozo.

Great stay in this superb house. We had a wonderful holiday here.

we don't tell anyone so we can come back, cause we loved it

This farmhouse is in a fantastic location on the outskirts of Qala, with local bars/restaurants and a very well stocked village shop in walking distance. We visited in October so the outdoor pool was a bit cold but we made good use of the indoor pool instead (great to have the choice!) The facilities in the farmhouse were exceptional (even the wifi) and the decoration made it feel very homely. We had plenty of space (family of 3) indoors and outdoors to relax when we weren't out sightseeing on the Island. Unfortunately we didn't meet the owner but he did call to make sure we were settled in OK on the first night which was nice. Would definitely recommend without hesitation.

Das Landhaus war genau so wie auf den Bildern! Alles war sauber und hygienisch. Die Außenanlage mit Pool einfach ein Traum. Wir waren total zufrieden und würden immer wieder in dieses Haus zurück kommen.

We were just a couple but this property is very big and plenty of space Was very clean when we arrived great indoor and outdoor swimming pools a highly recommend place to stay Only down side was dirty BBQ and like there is no oil salt or anything to cook with I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again

We loved staying in this farmhouse because it is well equipped & modern and the area is beautiful. Definitely will book again.
