Sense the history of Villa Gwann View, which is part of a residential holiday resort, that was once the eighteenth-century Fort Chambray built by the Knights of St John. The complex is made up of luxury holiday villas set in landscaped gardens and comes complete with complimentary use of two communal swimming pools. There is also an excellent concierge service that can organise exceptional experiences, from airport transfers and car hire to private yacht charters and personal chefs.

Villa Gwann View has two spacious double bedrooms and can accommodate up to four adults, two children, and a baby, perfect for a family holiday, or friends’ sharing. This detached, duplex villa, is constructed out of the local stone, in keeping with the original fort, and benefits from panoramic views over Mgarr harbour and out to sea. Your stay includes complimentary Wi-Fi throughout, secure parking, worldwide satellite television, and your own private Jacuzzi. The villa is furnished with modern pieces, cool tiled floors, and decorated in a contemporary colour palette of crisp whites, with shades of beige, and splashes of blue highlights.

Enter the villa at ground floor level to be welcomed by a bright and breezy open plan living space, with floor-to-ceiling picture windows that give access to the sea view terrace. The seating area has a four-seater sofa, wooden coffee and side tables, and a flat-screen satellite television, with worldwide channels, live streaming, and Video-on-Demand. The large brown and beige kitchen is fully equipped with all the appliances you will need to cater for your holiday, including those must-haves dishwasher, and espresso coffee maker. There is a super smart six-seater dining set, which is ideal for some impressive indoor entertaining. A shower room with a hand basin, and WC completes the ground floor accommodation.

The second bedroom has two twin beds, and a portable folding bed for extra guests. There is a shared bathroom, with a walk-in shower, single hand basin, and a WC.

Step outside to your private patio, and enjoy the view from the five-seater Jacuzzi hot tub. Relax on the sun loungers perfectly positioned under shady brollies. Spend the day by the communal pool, surrounded by sun loungers and lazy deckchairs. Take a stroll through the landscape gardens, and along the promenade, and be wowed by the sea and harbour views. As dusk falls, dine alfresco at the four-seater dining set, with dishes freshly grilled on the charcoal barbeque, and raise a toast to the most memorable holiday, in the most unique setting.
