4 Bedroom Villa in Birbuba, Gharb

Fully converted authentic farmhouse with nice large pool area, BBQ, free Wi-Fi
This centuries old property compliments the charm of the rural village of Gharb, which is a gem in itself with its quaint streets, and splendid church. The village also boasts exceptional country walks.
Property still retains rare features of when the property was a working farmhouse including, its own arched mill room with fully functional fireplace - now a beautifully furnished living space. Excellent for the winter months. (No Air-conditioning in this room instead there is a fan)
A separate kitchen and dining area also retains the ambiance of times of the past, when it was the heart and centre of rural family life. The old back garden has been turned into a spacious sun lounge with a great sized private pool. Completed with a built in stone BBQ area ideal for a summer evening meal. (No Air-conditioning in this room instead there is a fan)
The property sleeps 8, in four rustically furnished bedrooms (one with ensuite facilities) on the first floor, all of which retain old original features - some with arches spanning the room and others with stone roof side supports. All of which are quite rare to find in present day Gozo. The bedrooms are accessible through a wide airy corridor overlooking the pool area, again an old feature which takes you back centuries and gives the place a serene and cool ambiance. This floor is also equipped with two separate shower rooms.

Summary: We stayed for four weeks. House for us was in a quiet location that suited us perfectly. The farmhouse had limited comfort to two very uncomfortable sofas and an aging TV. I only say this because to relax was quite difficult if you don’t go out. We didn’t use the pool as it was to cold. A decent enough kitchen but again aged. But dog friendly was a bonus. House keeper was very nice.

Summary: We had a great stay here. The pool and outdoor space was lovely, and the villa has a lot of space and character. The village it is in is very quiet, but all the main sites are just a short drive away. It was great to have a highchair and cot provided.

Summary: the location, in the heart of the village but beside champs, the old stones, the swiming-pool There is beside the property a small piece of land where garbages were deposed. It's no visual or smelling trouble at all but may be responsible for the too many moscitos. Also water evacuation may gain from more slide in order to keep stones dry by the swming-pool

Summary: We had a wonderful experience. The house was spacious, clean and had everything we needed for a week’s holiday. Has some wonderful architectural features inside - feels like castle in places. We loved the pool and secluded outdoor area at the rear of the house. It was a great base from which to explore Gozo and we also did a day trip to Valletta as well. Highly recommend!

Summary: The house was overall what we expected. An authentic farm house more than big enough for our family of 6. We had a lovely holiday and enjoyed the pool very much. However we were a bit disapointed about the facilities of the kitchen. The dishwasher didn't work properly. The dishwasher tablets didn't "melt" and so the dishes were not clean. We tried the different programs of the machine but non of them did the job well. Result we had to do them by hand. The second thing we weren't pleased about was the extra guest in the kitchen: a mouse! We saw a mouse running around in the evenings and during the day we heard it squeeking regularly in the area behind the stove. As the weather in Gozo is very hot in summer the aircondintioning is crucial for a good night of sleep. We think it is a pitty that we had to pay extra for that. I think it should be included in the price. The machine only worked with Euro coins. Of course we did not have a bag of coins with us on our holiday zo we were obliged to ask everywhere to change money during the day so we had enough coins for the airconditioning machine. Also a good advice is to place shutters or blinds on the windows that would make the house - especially the hallway upstairs and the bedrooms - less warm.

Summary: The home was absolutely wonderful, all of us fell in love with it more each day. There is a bit of a narrow road to get through to it but it's definitely worth it! The back is lovely and private and the house is full of character and very spacious. The only thing I'd say that let it down was that the pool wasn't cleaned whilst we were there (10 days) but that was it. We'd love to come back in the future.

Summary: The property was pleasant and handily placed for a quiet part of the island. First the cons: The pool had been cleaned but there were berries from the trees surrounding the pool that had not been swept. Upstairs mosquito netting was torn on the edges and therefore not practical however, there were not too many mosquitos. The tap on the container that holds the drinking water leaked and we needed to place a pan underneath it. Upstairs bathroom window needed a good coat of paint as rust was showing. Downstairs shower temperature varied during usage. The view from the upstairs corridor was over a rubbish tip next door that didn’t belong to the property.. Next door’s dog barked everyday and often early morning and late at night. There was no key that worked for the doors to the courtyard. There were A4 size papers stuck in the property with instructions such as “Charges will be made for any towels that have stains.” Each instruction page was finished with “Authorised by the Management” or similar wording which made it sound like it was run by the Gestapo. Now the pros: Good pool area with a good bbq and outside table and chairs. We ate there every night and didn’t feel going to a restaurant would have bettered the experience. All rooms were tidy and clean with sufficient supply of dishwasher tablets in the kitchen which had all that was needed. Had it not been for the dog barking next door, the area was otherwise peaceful and gave good views of the sunset each evening although the person who greeted us only told us there was a washing line on the roof. When we discovered the area, we took chairs up and made this a regular visit each evening for the sunset. The directions we were given were clear and the satnav found the property without problem.

Summary: We spent the second week of a two week holiday in Malta at Ponderosa home in Gozo - and it was a wonderful time. The property is great for a family - the kids had so much fun in the pool - and it was relaxing environment in the evenings - just chilling the living area listening to music. It's easy to get everywhere in Gozo and I had some great runs nearby to the coast (tough uphills) if you're looking - just book it - you'll enjoy it
