A cosy holiday home for up to seven guests, Farmhouse Pompea sets you less than 10 minutes’ drive from the capital of Gozo, Victoria. Within easy reach of the coast and all the island’s best-loved attractions, this 3-bedroom property offers its own private terrace and a 3m x 2m swimming pool.

Well-appointed inside and set over two levels, Farmhouse Pompea is a stylish property in a residential area of Xewkija. The outdoor space provides not only a pool, but also a dining area with a barbecue and some sun loungers with a parasol.

This attractive area leads you straight into the main living space, where you have a pair of comfortable sofas, a TV and a wooden dining table with six chairs. The kitchen also forms part of this area, offering an oven, fridge, microwave and dishwasher.

The three bedrooms are comfortable and tastefully furnished, and are kept cool with ceiling fans. The bedrooms can be used as doubles or twins as required, and share the use of a bathroom with a shower. One of the rooms has an additional bed which can be used by a seventh guest. The property also provides a washing machine, telephone and wireless internet among other facilities.

Nearby Victoria is the place to head for an introduction to Gozo’s cultural scene, with an array of festivals and events happening throughout the year. It is also home to many of the island’s key historical sights, like the Citadel and the magnificent St George’s Basilica. If you want to hit the shops or try out some local cuisine, Victoria won’t disappoint you – there are plenty of restaurants and cafés, many with pavement terraces where you can watch the world go by.

Just as relaxing are the various beaches which are within a short drive of Farmhouse Pompea. Those on the northern coast, such as Ramla Bay and Qbajjar Bay, are certainly worth a visit.
