Upon arriving at Snip Farmhouse, guests would be forgiven for thinking that they have stepped into a serene, original island stone farmhouse from days-gone-by. Elegantly restored, it blends contemporary comfort with peerless old-world charm. Cladded in original stone, it is steeped with local flavour and preserved natural beauty.
Stepping outside, the courtyard style garden is framed by prettily swaying palms, with the sleek pool taking centrepiece, together with chic stone-built dining terrace, and when the moment calls for it, heading up to the upper floor terrace for cocktail hour will see guests enjoying stunning views as the sun softens over the rolling and rugged hills.
Guests will immediately have a sense of arriving at an authentic home-from-home, warm, ambient, cosy and characterised by exposed natural stone-work, natural timber beams, original farmhouse architecture and timeless appeal.
Understated, yet elegant, Snip Farmhouse makes for a wonderful base for a family or group of 6+1 set across three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Understated, chic, yet low-key, the living spaces align with the island’s pace of life and natural charm.
Executed to offer a cooling space in the summer months and insulated warmth in the winter, the interiors at this home are characterised by the timeless arches offering a Moorish-Arabo touch. Simplicity, elegance and understated style are the hallmarks of this chic retreat. Stylish open plan living features natural tones offset with accents of sedate designer touches, while the stone courtyard garden comes to life thanks to the vividly flowering bougainvillaea.
Quality, yet unpretentious charm, greet guests at every turn, stunning tiled bathrooms, genteel lighting, antique timber writing desks and sophisticated yet rustic living spaces offer an array of options, whilst the outdoors offer a series of choice, whether it be balmy evenings enjoying seafood barbecues or glorious solitude with a good holiday read under the shade of the parasol, this home has it all covered.
Snip Farmhouse blends Gozitan charm, timeless farmhouse chic, a touch of Italianate courtyard living and lovingly preserved original interiors just a short distance from the picturesque Xaghra with its rich heritage and proximity to stunning Ramla Bay.
* For larger parties, you can also book neighbouring Blade Farmhouse, with additional space for up to 7 guests.
- The island of Gozo is reachable via a 25-minute crossing from Malta
- The pool is unfenced and there are some stone surfaces and steps both internally and externally, so toddlers will need to be monitored
- Gozo is a tranquil, green and rustic island offering a taste of traditional Maltese life, but is not known for buzzing nightlife or commercial interest
- The air conditioning is coin-operated - keep some euros handy!
- A 7th guest can be accommodated on a fold-out bed - probably better suited to a younger person!
