Overview
For those seeking serenity, a stay in Clews House is the perfect place for you. This traditional Gozo home sits at the top of the picturesque valley of Dahlet Qorrot, in the village of Qala, on the easternmost tip of the Maltese island of Gozo, in the Mediterranean Sea. The villa is peaceful and private, offering breathtaking sunset views and hues of sea blues on the distant horizon. Clews House has three spacious double bedrooms and can comfortably accommodate up to eight adults and one young child, ideal for a large family holiday or friends’ get-together. The accommodation is arranged over one storey, with all the rooms facing the inner courtyard, home to your private swimming pool. The villa has off-street parking, complimentary air conditioning and Wi-Fi, and an entertainment system that includes access to worldwide channels and streaming services. The property is built out of local light stone, the interiors have curved walls and domed ceilings, cool floor tiling, and beautiful mosaics in the bathrooms. The furnishings are elegantly classical, with lots of natural dark wood, and charmingly decorated in a very smart white and navy colour palette.
Access the house via the entrance hall, where you will find a light and airy holiday home from home. The seating area has a domed ceiling, with double doors that give access to the pool terrace. It is simply furnished with a sofa bed, wood coffee and sideboards, and a satellite television. The dining area has a six-seater polished wood table and chairs, ideal for some impressive indoor entertaining, and a desk and chair for those who might have to work on the holiday. The large all-white and wood kitchen is fully equipped with everything you will need to cater for your holiday, including a private chef if you don’t fancy cooking. There is a separate laundry room for a holiday wash. Three beautifully-appointed double bedrooms are all dressed in uniform blue and white. The master bedroom has a king-size bed and an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower. The second bedroom has a king-size bed, and the third has two twin beds. There is a shared bathroom with a shower, hand basin, and WC. Tall pine trees surround the stone-tiled terrace, with beautiful panoramic views over the countryside and beyond. There is an azure blue step-entry swimming pool, long enough for a few lengths and lovely enough for a cooling afternoon dip. There are six inviting blue sun loungers with shady parasols strategically positioned to maximise those views and catch some rays. As dusk falls, gather on the terrace for cocktails and watch the sunset before feasting alfresco at the outdoor six-seater dining set, from dishes freshly grilled on the barbeque.

Location
About the surrounding area of Clews HouseClews House can be found in the village of Qala, the most eastern spot on the small island of Gozo, set in the heart of the Maltese Mediterranean Sea. There is no international airport on the island; guests are advised to fly to Malta, take transportation to the northern port, and then hop on the frequent ferry to Mgarr Harbour in Gozo. From Mgarr Harbour, it is a short four-kilometre journey to your holiday home. The island of Gozo is only seven kilometres long and thirteen kilometres wide, so anywhere you want to go is within easy reach. For your holiday provisions, the nearest shops and restaurants are within walking distance of the house. The concierge team can arrange complimentary delivery of your grocery order and book a private chef if you don’t fancy cooking.
The village of Qala has breathtaking sea views over to Malta, and the nearby island of Comino, best seen from the Belvedere and the courtyard of the church of St Mary of the Rocks. The nearest beaches are; the unspoilt Dahlet Qorrot, the dazzling white sands of Iz-Zewwieqa Bay, Hondoq ir-Rummien, is best for swimming and water sports, and the famous red sands of Rambla, a five-kilometre drive away. Mgarr Harbour is a quaint traditional fishing village where you can take a walk along the promenade, admire the yachts, and feast on the local cuisine. Before enjoying a cocktail in the famous Gleneagles Bar, take time to visit the impressive gothic Lourdes Chapel and the sculpture of the Three Graces. The island of Gozo dates from Neolithic times since it was invaded and occupied by the Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, Sicilians, the French and the British. This melting pot of cultures can be seen in its history, architecture, and culture. Start your historical education with the Ggantija Temples, one of the world’s oldest free-standing structures, and now a UNESCO and World Heritage Site. Only seven kilometres from the house is the capital city of Ir-Rabat, known locally as Victoria since 1887, renamed in honour of Queen Victoria to celebrate her jubilee. Walk the fortified Bronze Age citadel of the city, stop in Independence Square for a browse in the local market and a coffee in a café. Seek solace in the seventeenth-century Baroque Grand Basilica of St George before wandering the old streets full of shops selling delicacies and souvenirs. The city is also known for its collection of museums, theatres, clubs, and opera houses. Find peace and tranquillity with a stroll around Villa Rundle Public Gardens, established by the British in 1910. Finally, don’t miss a day out to the nearby island of Comino, take the ferry from Mgaar harbour, swim and snorkel in the beautiful blue lagoon before exploring the island’s natural habitat, numerous churches, and dining by the sea shore on freshly caught fish.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesYour kids will love staying in Clews House on the holiday island of Gozo. Starting with the villa with its private swimming pool, where they can splash and play all day. You are spoilt for choice with family-friendly beaches near Qala. The nearest and quietest is Dahlet Qorrot, Hondoq ir-Rummien is excellent for your older kids with water sports and cave hunting opportunities, the red sand of Ramla Bay is a winner with its shallow waters, and for something different, try a day out at the inland sea of Dwerja. Near Marsalforn is Three Hills Gardens, a play park for children of all ages, with six different themed activity areas, and part of the action plan of the Eco-Gozo project, aimed at planting lots of trees around the island. Also in Marsalforn is the Qbaijar promenade, which has a watch tower, breathtaking sea views, and a children’s play area. The rock-cut saltpans that protrude into the sea at Qbaijar Bay are over three hundred and fifty years old and stretch along three kilometres of the coastline.
Children and adults alike will love a tour on the trackless train, from the island’s capital of Victoria, up to the village of Xaghra. The tour takes in St Martha’s chapel, the village of Xaghra, the Xewkija Rotunda Church, Our Lady of Mount Carmel Chapel, the Ggantija Temples, now a world and UNESCO Heritage site, the Ta’ Kola Windmill, the Villa Rundle Gardens, and views over the citadel of Victoria itself. In the village of Xaghra is the charming Gozo Toy Museum, small and still privately owned, showcasing much loved old toys, including an eighteenth-century Maltese doll with a carved wooden head, a 1930s Noah’s Ark, a classic Hornby train set, and Dinky cars. Discover Victoria, the island’s capital, with a stop at the Visitor Centre, which tells the story and history of the city, including the many and varied occupiers, brave knights, and bloody battles. Then go forth and find these sights in the citadel, including cathedrals, law courts, the old prison, the Nature Museum, the Gozo Museum of Archaeology, and the Gran Castello Historic House. End the day in one of the many family-friendly restaurants and discover the delights of the local Maltese cuisine. Spend some time in the Villa Rundle Garden in Victoria, a nature-themed venue with a play area hosting kid-centric activities and an opportunity to discover the local flora and fauna. Get them moving with a day’s kayaking, biking, hiking, climbing, abseiling, water sports, or scuba diving. All aboard the ferry from Mgarr Harbour to the nearby island of Comino, where they can swim and snorkel in the crystal clear waters of the Blue Lagoon before discovering the hidden treasures and wild nature, this tiny island has to offer.
