DAR IL-MARHAB

Dar il-Marhab farmhouse is an authentic early 17th century farmhouse in Xewkija, the oldest village in Gozo. It is within walking distance to the picturesque pebbly beach of Mgarr ix-Xini.

You enter through the main stone arched hallway with pattern-tiled floor into an open sunny courtyard lined with many plants and a brilliant crimson bougainvillea, which leads to a large double bedroom with ensuite.

The wide stone staircase opens up to a further three double bedrooms (two with ensuite) on the first floor, a sunny loggia and a huge terrace with views of the surrounding fields and the Rotunda church in the distance. Dar il-Marhab farmhouse can accommodate up to nine persons comfortably.

On the ground floor, further down the same courtyard, there is the fully equipped kitchen with Venetian gold granite worktops, a carved dining table with eight chairs, LG frost- free refrigerator, LG automatic washing machine, Smeg gas cooker and cable TV. The wood-burning fireplace is in the open living area with sofa. There is also the main bathroom with bidet. Maid service once weekly.

Outside, is an oval table with chairs on the patio that is ideal for al fresco dining, next to a beautiful water fountain. The superb private swimming pool (14 x 8.5m) has a large sundeck area (over 100m), six sundeck chairs, pool shower, built-in-barbecue and a discreet garden facing due south for maximum sunshine!
