My family and I had a great stay at Alice C's farmhouse which had everything you could think of to make your stay in Gozo a pleasurable experience, the pool was great and all rooms lovely. Anyone looking for great accommodation in a great location need look no further.

We met my brother's family here for a reunion of rest and relaxation. Plenty of room for both our families! Wonderful breeze that channels through the whole house. Beautiful interior and decor. Stone structure keeps it nice and cool. Super fast internet...fully stocked, large kitchen...wonderful outdoor area with plenty of seating, pool, and barbecue. There is an awesome little food shop right down the street, about a 4 minute walk that had a great selection of groceries, wine/beer, Maltese delicacies, and a great deli. This villa is very close to the ferry station on a quiet street with very friendly local neighbors. Walking distance to the market, church, a delicious bakery, really cool bar, a local coffee shop & more! The view from the balcony rooms was just incredible, like something out of a movie! Alice's husband met us at the airport to hand us the keys so our check-in was easy and flawless. Fantastic place! Fantastic owners!

The rooms were a decent size and well furnished, kitchen was well equipped, the only downside was no air conditioning or mosquito blinds on external windows or doors..additionally it's not much of a sunspot for those sun gods or goddesses..

A really lovely place to stay and very conveniently located. Alice was also really helpful and a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend staying here.

Thanks are due to Alice and Leo for their organisation of transfers, car hire and house preparation. We were met at Malta Airport by Juan, our driver, followed closely by Leo (owner) with keys and car rental forms. Forms filled out, keys handed over and we were on our way to ferry port. Juan the driver chatted all the way there, recommending sites to visit, things to see. Over on ferry to Gozo and just a quick trip up the hill out of harbour to the Farmhouse in Ghanjsilem. Now the farmhouse is not like an English idea of one, it is a house on a terrace street that once had a large, now gone, market garden attached to it. So don't expect a house surrounded by fields. Entering the farmhouse through a gate, you walk down a short corridor, to the front door, through which you enter the main living room. It's a lovely large room, stone features, very welcoming, two settees and two chairs. There's a TV on the wall with cable channels, BBC worldwide is there plus the usual selection of English language programs. There's also WiFi, key in house folder. There's French (Maltese?) doors onto the pool area, with a table and chairs and sun loungers, and an arch into the large kitchen with an enormous table and bench seats. Two gigantic fridge freezers and a range cooker. All the kitchen gadgets are there and enough crockery and cutlery for an army! The bedrooms are all excellent, most en-suite, four poster upstairs with mosquito nets. Access to upstairs is via spiral staircases, you can get the the first floor by normal stone stairs, but they are open to the elements ( luckily it doesn't rain much in Malta) The farmhouse is beautiful, very handy for amenities, there's a little supermarket five minutes walk away ( there's a Lidl on the road to Rabat for bigger shops). The village has two clubs next to the church, agility only five minutes walk. One is similar to a social club, but don't let that put you off, the food is good, the beer cheap and the locals welcoming.

Firstly, to say thank you to Alice and Leo for all their help arranging transfers and car hire. The whole experience from inital enquiry to saying bye (or rather, see you again) to Leo at the airport was first rate. Having had a few disappointments with holiday villa bookings over the years, I am always a little sceptical before arrvial but the description and pictures of the farmhouse are 100% reliable and trustworthy - it is exactly as described and photographed, although, the pool is actually larger than it looks in the photographs! Wonderfully located in a very friendly residential street in the centre of Ghajnsielem, very close to the church and about a 10 minute walk to Mgarr harbour, where there are many restaurants, and, of course, which is the departure/arrival point for the Gozo - Malta ferry. There is a supermarket within two minutes walk, two fresh fish shops and a bar and pizza/burger restaurnant in the village itself without even having to walk to the harbour - the village though is lovely and quiet even in August! Although we hired a car, it would be easy to stay here without having to. The layout is great, with the bedrooms accessible without actually having to enter the house itself, providing lots of privacy even when travelling as a group - there is a lockable front gate so security is never an issue, each bedroom door also has a lock. The bedrooms are also accessible via internal stairs. I note that the stairs have been mentioned several times in reviews; given the structure of the house, they are spiral and whilst those to the top floor are longer than those to the frst floor, both staircases are easilty navigated. The house is lovingly furnished, much more like a family home than a holiday farmhouse, indeed, it used to be Leo and Alice's home, and it is obvious. It is also very clean and well cared for. Very highly recommended. We shall definitely return!

We were 8 adults and one small child celebrating a family birthday and chose Ta'Vitor for a number of reasons. Firstly, it has excellent facilities for a large group - good sized bedrooms, four of which have superb en-suite bathrooms and good quality towels, plus plenty of living accommodation, including a well appointed kitchen, good TV and free WiFi. Secondly, it is in an ideal location; only a few minutes walk from the port of Mgarr with all it's fabulous restaurants & bars, yet placed in a quiet area of Ghajnsielem, which has an excellent supermarket that means you don't have to travel to Victoria for supplies, plus several restaurants and bars that represent brilliant value for a quick meal or Cisk! Finally, the pool and terrace are high quality, with gas barbeque and sun-loungers to relax in the hot afternoon sun. Mention has been made previously of the internal spiral staircases. Whilst these could be daunting for some, with a party of 8 covering various age-ranges, there was no difficulty selecting rooms and the top-floor bedroom was actually hotly contested. We all had a fabulous time. Alice Cuschieri, the owner was extremely helpful in booking cars and taxis for us and kept in contact throughout our stay to make sure everything was running smoothly.i

We rented the house for a week with a group of friends and children. Place is great, there is a lot of room and nice kitchen. The village is peaceful and has all the needed services. The harbor village Mgarr is on walking distance and has more great restaurants. It's very easy to walk, drive or take bus any destination on Gozo from here. The island of Malta is also easily accessible with the ferry. Both kids and adults loved the private pool. Only problems are the inside stairs, they are very narrow and steep. And only way to the third floor. So the last bedroom is not that accessible, and most need the usage of out door stairs. The outdoor stairs are great at least on the summer though.

8 of us (ages 4 to 80) stayed at farmhouse in the first week of October. We found the farmhouse very comfortable. It is situated in the heart of a sleepy village. there are few bars/restaurants on the main square near by and there is also a supermarket close to the accommodation. There are more restaurants down in the harbour, which can be reached by bus (outside of supermarket) or walked to in 15min, just note that the walk is along a busy road and that there is no pavement for some parts of it. The quality of decorations and fitting was high. The Kitchen is well equipped with more than enough kitchenware (though it would benefit from a dishwasher - with this number of there were always volunteers to wash up and perhaps an electric kettle). I would say that the farmhouse is nicer in real than on pictures, just some photos makes some areas look slightly bigger than in reality, in particular the courtyard and the pool. The farmhouse can potentially sleep up to 12-13 people but I think that it would be hard to find enough room for that number of people to sunbathe or dine outside at the same time. All of us really liked the accommodation. All bedrooms were well equipped and nicely decorated. Beware that the stairs leading to the bedroom on the second floor are very steep and I would not recommend this bedroom for young children or elderly people. Overall nice holiday in the sun (it was much warmer than we expected), recommended to people who want a relaxing break away from hustle and bustle of typical holiday designations.

I have organised many holidays for a family group of 10 people over the last 12 years or so. I can honestly say this was one of the best Villas/ Farmhouses we have rented. The photos do not do it justice, as everything is beautifully decorated and in perfect order. There is ample space for a large group (easily accomodates 10 people) and each of the 5 bedrooms are tastefully decorated. Four of the bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms (all modern, with quality fitments & showers. The ground floor bedroom has a bathroom only a few metres away, off the main lounge area, again with quality fitments & shower. The swimming pool and garden area is ideal for sunbathing/ relaxing all day round. The sun rises and hits the far corner of the pool area early and moves through the garden as the day progresses, so there is always an area of shade if you need it. There is a gas barbeque for anyone wishing to cook on it (we did 4 times, and it was perfect). The farmhouse is set in a quiet residential street a few hundred metres from the local supermarket where all your provisions are available (fresh meat, cheeses, fruit & veg, frozen food and almost everything you would need to eat & drink comfortably. Approximately 300 metres down the street is the church square where you will find a number of bars, cafes/ restauarants all at a very reasonable price (typically 4-5 euros for a pizza or burger & chips type dinner). By the ferry harbour you will find more restaurants with very good quality food (typically 20 euros per person for a 2 or 3 course meal. The bar prices are very cheap compared to the U.K. - we had 2x Henesey Branies & cokes, 2 pints of lager, 1x Malibu & coke and a Jack Daniels & coke and it was only 11 Euros ! Gozo itself is still un-spoilt and it is probably best to have a hire car to explore the lovely beaches and villages around the island, although there are taxis and buses avaiable (although we didn't use them, as we had a car). If you are planning on visiting Gozo, then (in my opinion) you would struggle to find a better quality accomodation than Ta' Vitor Farmhouse. The owners ( Alice Cuschieri and her husband) are very helpful and are always available if you have any questions or need help.
