From the owner

The Villa Xini is a delighttful first class villa built in the traditional Gozitan style in the tranquil village of XEWKIJA, a 25 minute walk from the pebbly beach of Mgarr ix-Xini and the dramatic cliffs of Ta' Cenc. You enter from a narrow alley into the Villa Xini's private courtyard with a hanging bougainvillea. The villa itself has a spacious open-plan lounge/diner, beautifully furnished with a rattan sofa and chairs, and a superb oak kitchen with verde granite worktops.

The huge verandah which opens off the dining area has a great view over the swimming pool (8 x 5m) and beyond to the surrounding private garden with almond, carob and fig trees, fennel, bay, olive and prickly pears. There is cable TV, Wifi, pay phone, washing machine, frost free refrigerator and a wood-burning fireplace.

A built-in-barbecue is near the swimming pool. There are two bedrooms both with A/C on the ground-floor. One has a double bed, and the other has three single beds and an ensuite shower room.. There is also a separate bathroom with bidet and Ideal Standard sanitary ware & fittings.

A traditional stone staircase leads from the living area up to an airy landing with a double bed and opens onto a very large roof terrace with great views of the Rotunda church of St John the Baptist and beyond. It can sleep 7 persons comfortably.

A short walk from the villa leads down the steep steep valley of Mgarr ix-Xini, which finally opens out to an inlet and the open sea. The valley itself looks as if it has been cut into the land by an invisible hand. At various places over looking the valley, trough-like depressions are carved in solid ground, rectangular and square. A report in 1946 described them as troughs of unkown antiquity.

Bicycle/jeep/car hire is recommended. Transfer to and from the accommodation can be arranged, regardless of your arrival time. You will be greeted at the airport and transferred straight to Villa Xini.

Dahlet Qorrot is indeed one of the best for snorkling. You might have also enjoyed Mgarr ix-Xini where Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie shot their last movie, By The Sea.

Wonderful classic 'farmhouse' on Gozo, the second-largest island of Malta, which is free from the hordes of tourists that crowd the main island and capital, Valetta. Gozo is beautiful, with … More
