Description:
This beautifully converted
Gozo farmhouse
is situated on the outskirts of the village of Gharb ,pronounced as "arb". The main entrance faces
on to a small square, which allows for ample car parking space while also
attracting street vendors who stop their vans to sell their produce including
fish, vegetables, soft drinks etc at different times during the week.
On entering the house you walk
through a large vaulted hallway, which leads on to a pretty central courtyard
that abounds in plants. Off the courtyard there is a large kitchen/dining-room
which has all the mod cons including a gas cooker, 2 x fridges/deep freeze and
hot/cold running water, dishwasher, magimix etc. A large dining table seats 8
people.
The sitting room also leads off the
central courtyard via an arched hallway. This room is spectacular in that it is
a very impressive room with a large arched ceiling with the original animal
troughs having been converted into seating all round. Also there is a TV with
cable facilities and a fan as well as a stereo.
-
Both the kitchen/dining room and
sitting room have independent and direct access to a beautiful large private
garden, which offers ample space for entertaining and barbecues prepared on
the large gas barbecue. The mature palm trees form a wonderful canopy
creating shade during the summer months, which is perfect for eating out. A
round wooden table outdoors can seat 12 people comfortably and a smaller table
seats a small group perfectly while looking towards the pool. The pool is a
recent addition to the house and is a good size 28ft by 15ft. This spacious
area is beautifully designed (inspired from travels to Thailand) and enjoys
panoramic views of the sea looking toward the chapel of San Dimitri.
-
Bedroom 4 leads off the central
courtyard. It has a double beds and a stand-up fan. Again off the courtyard
are two separate shower rooms with hot and cold high-pressure showers and
toilets.

Leading from the central courtyard
there is an internal stairway which leads to the first floor which has a
gallery overlooking the courtyard and open to the sky.

wardrobe and a stand-up electric fan.

with an incredible arched ceiling. There is a big double bed and also a
single bed. Also leading off the main bedroom is a beautiful large balcony
which overlooks the garden and on to the sea. There is a bathroom ensuite

has a raised area. Again there is an antique double bed with a mosquito net
attached to the ceiling above the bed and a window overlooking the garden on
towards the sea. There is also a single bed in this room. This room can make
