About this property

Casa Barone - Farmhouse full of character in Victoria on Gozo

You are welcome to this old, charming farmhouse by a small overgrowned yard, where you will find a nice place for sitting, dining and relaxing. Just aside the small, but well equipped kitchen - incl. microwave. In the ground-floor you also find the rustic living area.

A very characterful open staircase from the courtyard leads to the 1st floor. On half way is the first of both bedrooms with double-bed. Shower and toilet of this room are some steps upwards on the level of the 2nd bedroom. This one offers 3 single beds and it's own bathroom. Air Conditioning in both bedrooms (by coin-box system).

By a steep spiral-staircase (beware for kids!!) you come to the large roof-terrace with its magnificant views over the roofs of Victoria to the cathedral "St.George" and the new refurbished Citadelle. On this terrace you'll find sunchairs incl. umbrella and the possibility for BBQ.

Restaurants and all shopping facilities are within walking distance. Parking is about 3-5 minutes away. From Victoria you can reach all sights and swimming possibilities within a few minutes by bus or rental car. Victoria is the main town of Gozo with a population of about 7000. Until 1887, the town bore the Arabic name Rabat, which means "suburb" (not to be confused with Rabat near Mdina on the main island of Malta). It is situated in the centre of Gozo. Victoria is also the centre of life on the island and its cultural centre. The flat, however, is in a quiet alley. The house in the old city cannot be reached by car.

Absolutely worth seeing is the newly renovated citadel high above the town, which was built as early as the Bronze Age, around 1500 BC. From the fortifications you have a wonderful 360° view over the island. In addition to a museum, the citadel also houses Gozo's cathedral and the courthouse.

Also worth seeing is the baroque basilica of San George of St. George. This dates from the Middle Ages, but was given a new façade in 1818 and was elevated to basilica status by Pope Pius XII in 1958. This basilica is also known as the Golden Church. It is completely covered with marble. It is richly decorated with paintings and statues and is located on Pjazza San Gorg, which is south of the market square - not far from your house.

Comfortable and convenient

This house is in the midst of the narrow winding streets of old Victoria and a very convenient place for the sights and all the bars and restaurants which are within walking distance. There are views of the Citadel from the roof terrace (furnished with table and chairs and sunloungers). Joe and his sister are very accommodating and we had a very pleasant week.

The house was wonderful, perfect location in the centre of Victoria. The roof trrace was a great place to sit and have breakfast or a glass of wine. Lovely!

lovely relaxing holiday

Smooth taxi transfer from airport to ferry to house and the owner, Joseph Sultana and his sister Gilbert and their uncle Michael couldn't be more helpful. The property is quirkily lovely and has all that is needed for a holiday. Quietly situated in the old part of Victoria (Rabat), yet only a minute or two away from St George's Piazza and Independenza Square. A great base from which to explore Gozo and meet the friendly, welcoming residents. We had a lovely time, thank you.

Utterly gorgeous!

Perfect place for a solo getaway. Just lovely. Peaceful and a beautiful house in walking distance of some of the best places in Gozo. My only criticism is that I had to go and buy the basics, salt, pepper, tea, coffee and loo roll. Normally there's something just to have a cuppa on arrival. A small gripe but easy to fix. It is a tremendous place though and I hope to return. Local shop keeper was wonderful and super helpful. The owner was lovely and got up at stupid o clock to take me to the ferry. A brilliant place.
