Dar ta Nina is a beautiful period property in Xaghra, a Gozotan village steeped in history. Just five minutes walk from the house are the Temples of Ggantija, a megalithic ancient monument easily comparible with Stonhenge in terms of international archaelogical importance not to mention visual impact. Gozo is full of surprises like this and the house is an ideal base from which to explore the island's treasures. I would strongly recommend the Temples and also the superb Citadella in nearby Victoria as two must-see attractions on Gozo. There are many more...
The house itself is beautifully appointed and has been sympathetically restored by the owners retaining many original features whilst incorporating modern luxuries. These include a beautiful swimming pool, a fully-equipped , modern kitchen and numerous bathrooms. It's a spacious, airy property with high arched ceilings on the ground level and impressive beamed ceilings to the upper floors. It's perfect for large families or groups of friends and is an ideal house for entertaining. We had a memorable evening sharing a bottle of wine with friends on the rooftop terrace whilst watching the beautiful Gozotan sunset.
This was my second visit to the property and I enjoyed it even more than the first. Gozo has an excellent island bus service which, if like me, you prefer not to drive when on holiday, makes getting around very easy.. Cycle hire is available locally and the compact size of the island makes it ideal for exploring on two wheels. A favourite day out for my partner and myself is to cycle down to nearby Marsalform, enjoy a leisurely breakfast at one of the pavement cafes and then cycle along the coast to the Roman salt pans before riding to the beautiful gorge at Ghasri for a spot of swimming in the beautiful waters which surround the island.
Dar ta Nina is a superb luxury holiday property in one of Gozo's premier locations, it's situated in a quiet backwater and yet ideally placed to walk out in the evening a enjoy a choice of excellent places to eat. Highly recommended
