Location
About the surrounding area of High View HouseHigh View House can be found near the tranquil village of Nadar, 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 village of Nadar is set in a verdant valley, with a tranquil bay, and breath-taking sea views out to Malta, and the nearby island of Comino. Nadar has a beautiful Baroque church, and on the way to San Blas beach, the Ta’ Isopu Knights Tower. Within a two-kilometre radius, there are five fabulous beaches. The nearest is; the unspoilt Dahlet Qorrot, with its boathouses formed from natural caves, the dazzling white sands of Iz-Zewwieqa Bay, Hondoq ir-Rummien, is best for swimming and water sports, and the famous must-see red sands of Rambla.
Nearby Qala is the easternmost tip of the island, with prehistoric remains, inviting bays and beaches, a church on a hill with a view, and live music in the square every night in summer. 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. Take time to visit the impressive gothic Lourdes Chapel and the sculpture of the Three Graces, before enjoying a cocktail in the famous Gleneagles Bar.
The island of Gozo dates from neolithic times, since then it has been invaded and occupied by the Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, Sicilians, the French and finally 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 seashore on freshly caught fish.

Best Suited For: All AgesYour kids will love staying in High View House on the holiday island of Gozo. Starting with the villa with its own private swimming pool, where they can splash and play all day. You are spoilt for choice with family-friendly beaches near Nadar, the nearest and quietest is Dahlet Qorrot, where they can explore the boathouse caves, Hondoq ir-Rummien is great for your older kids with water sports and cave hunting opportunities, and 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 reputedly 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.

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.

Great!
A peaceful place where to rest for few days, close to the beach and sea view, I've been there with my family and relaxed between bbq and pool, despite some bad weather conditions we enjoyed the sunny moments swimming and eating outside. Kevin, the host, was very available in everything, immediately replied at whatsapp messages or call and found a solution when it needs. The Villa is very big with 4 bedrooms with all comfort, you also have a big living room and kitchen equipped with all needs. Highly recommended.
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
