Eating out in Michelin restaurants to friendly cafes is delightful.

10/10 Excellent - Wonderful family vacationvalleyview

Kimberly C. - Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2024

10/10 Excellent - Pure paradise

There is absolutely nothing I would or could change about this amazing place. The home was perfect but the entire STAY was perfect. Paul the house manager addressed the few minor questions we had swiftly and was so kind and helpful. Michele the housekeeper was truly lovely and if you have the chance to have Marcelle come to help with breakfasts and lunches and grocery shopping you MUST say yes. Every corner of the home boasts another amazing view; the furnishings are so beautiful and comfortable and the layout was ideal for a multi-generational family. Long story short(ish): I genuinely wept upon leaving, and imaging myself back on the patio, overlooking the sea, will be my “happy place” for the rest of my days. If you CAN book this place (because it is not often available), then you MUST. Just not on the weeks that I hope to book! Thank you to Warren and Paul and Michele and Marcelle and everyone who made this a once-in-a-lifetime stay.

10/10 Excellent - Wedding party

The property was in a prime location and very beautiful . Each morning you wake to see a different view from one of the many windows and having the pool and beach area ment a swim in the sea each morning was lovely. All the staff were very helpful and were quick to help out if needed. We were there for a wedding party and to use the villa as our base were all our family and guests were blown away by the villa. We would like to thank everyone involved in making it such a wonderful experience.

Blandings will assist you with booking.  Below our booking agent introduces himself and why he is happy to work with us:

"I have worked with country houses and villas for most of my life. And now, for more than 20 years, I assist owners in finding careful & considerate guests for their homes and help to ensure that guests are happy for their stay.

"This has been a much-loved home for the owner's family for many years. I firmly believe that these properties are the best at making guests comfortable and relaxed from the start, and ensuring that all who stay will want to return again and again!

"The setting here is superb. It is rare to have a villa so close to the sea and be in such a peaceful spot. Also, the owner's staff - and in fact, the people of Gozo in general - are exceptionally kind & helpful, which makes the day-to-day enjoyment of the island much easier."
