Overview
The Lavender House makes the perfect holiday base for five guests across the two well-appointed bedrooms. Nestled in a distinctive charming alleyway that reminisce past Gozitan life, guests will experience ultimate relaxation whilst also being a stones throw away from one of the most sought-after areas on the island; the UNESCO World Heritage Site of ‘Dwejra’.
Upon entrance a flight of stairs with ten easy steps from the main door leads you to a wide corridor with two beautiful bedrooms and a store room equipped with a washing machine. The first bedroom has a lovely double bed, a window overlooking the quiet alley and an en-suite bathroom including a bath, toilet and sink. This spacious bedroom comes with an extra single bed for larger groups or a baby crib if needed. In the second bedroom, you will find two comfortable single beds accompanied by an en-suite bathroom with a shower, toilet and sink.
At second floor level, you will find a beautifully bright and comfortable area, excellent for relaxing and enjoying one another’s company. The open plan living and dining area is perfect for entertaining guests. With a 3-seater sofa-bed and a 33” TV, guests can relax whilst the chefs among you will enjoy cooking in the well-equipped kitchen. Step outside, make use of the barbeque and dine al-fresco in the cool shaded area around the outdoor table. Relax and unwind on the sun loungers whilst the kids splash around in your very own private pool with jacuzzi jets.

From the village square in San Lawrenz, visitors can take the road down to Dwejra Bay where history lovers will enjoy discovering old chapels and learn about the well-preserved watch tower which dates all the way back to 1652. Dwejra also boasts of several natural wonders, foremost of which is ‘Fungus Rock’, the ‘Azure Window’ and the ‘Inland Sea’.

Best Suited For: All AgesGozo is the ideal destination for a family holiday. With the island being small, everywhere in Gozo is just a stone’s throw away, making car journeys quick and easy.
The Lavender House is perfect for families! Spend the day soaking up the sun on one of the loungers whilst the kids splash around in your very own private pool with jacuzzi jets. Make use of the barbeque and dine al-fresco in the cool shaded area around the outdoor table. Inside, the open plan living and dining area is perfect for making the most of family time. With a 3-seater sofa-bed and a 33” TV, guests can relax whilst the chefs among you will enjoy cooking in the well-equipped kitchen. After an adventure packed day, the twin bedroom on the ground floor is perfect for two children to share. For larger groups, there is an extra single bed available and a sofa bed too.
Nearby, Xlendi Bay is a firm family favourite amongst many for it’s a perfect option for young children with its shallow and still waters. For the more adventurous, snorkelling or diving are also popular activities at Xlendi Bay!
Experience the thrill of an action-packed holiday and go mountain biking, kayaking, clifftop hiking and even horse riding! Alternatively, embrace the history, culture and stories that entertain young and adults alike. Visit the megalithic temples at Ġgantija, and the recently restored Il-Kastell fortress towering above the capital of Gozo, Victoria!
For a more laid-back adventure, take a boat ride and tour the coast. You can get to dive and swim at many idyllic spots or you can opt to sail out to Comino, the island that captures the imagination of many. If you’re interested in exploring the island we suggest that you plan a day and return to Gozo at sunset.
