Located just outside the island’s capital, Victoria, Farmhouse Bertu is a delightful 2-bedroom holiday home, well placed for exploring the sights of Gozo. Just 2km from the town and the sea, this property provides a stylish introduction to the area, and offers a stunning outdoor pool alongside some impressive interiors.

Ideal for up to five guests, Farmhouse Bertu enjoys a quiet location on the outskirts of Xagħra, between Victoria and the beaches of the northern coast. The house is elegant both inside and out, with golden, bare stone walls and large windows bringing in lots of natural light. The 2m x 2m outdoor pool is a real highlight, and is accompanied by sun loungers and a covered dining area.

Inside, the living area is equally inviting. There’s a cosy seating area with TV, and a dining area with seating for four at the table. A wood-burning stove keeps the whole space warm, should you need it. Just next to the dining area, a well-equipped kitchen with an island, oven, fridge and microwave has a rustic touch.

The two double bedrooms have a romantic feel to them, making this evocative holiday home a great choice for couples holidaying together. They have comfy beds, plenty of storage space and share the use of a bathroom with shower. One can also be configured as a twin if required. The villa also provides a range of other facilities including Wi-Fi, a washing machine and a baby’s cot.

Farmhouse Bertu is in just the right location if you want to try some water-sports at, for example, Ramla Bay or Marsalforn, just two of the pretty beaches on the northern side of Gozo. In Victoria, you can visit the magnificent Citadel, one of the island’s major landmarks which offers not just history but a host of events throughout the year.

The capital is also the island’s hotspot so far as shopping, dining and entertainment are concerned – for a small town on a small island, Victoria certainly punches above its weight with an array of festivals and cultural happenings.
