A step-entry private swimming pool is perfect for a cooling dip. Relax on the blue sun loungers with shady parasols and catch up with this year’s best seller. Dine alfresco under the stars at the limestone table with bench-style seating. Feast off local delicacies freshly grilled on the barbecue as the sun dips over the horizon. There is an optional heated swimming pool room on the ground floor in the cooler months, from the 1st of October until the 31st of May. This spacious forty-two metre squared stone room with high vaulted ceilings has a chill-out seating area and fluffy dressing gowns where you can sit back and unwind.
Gatt House can be found in the village of Nadur, at the eastern corner of the small island of Gozo, set in the heart of the Maltese Mediterranean Sea. There is no international airport on the island; guests are advised to fly to Malta, take transportation to the northern port, and then hop on the frequent ferry to Mgarr Harbour in Gozo. From Mgarr Harbour, it is a short four-kilometre journey to your holiday home. The island of Gozo is only seven kilometres long and just over thirteen kilometres wide, so anywhere you want to go is within easy reach. The nearest shops and restaurants are a kilometre and a half from the villa for your holiday provisions. The concierge team can arrange complimentary delivery of your grocery order and a private chef if you don’t fancy cooking.
The village of Nadur is home to the Ta’Kenuna Tower, built by the British in 1848, and the baroque church of St Peter and Paul, and from the top of the town, you can admire the magnificent views over the island and out to sea. The beautiful beach of San Blas, the red sandy beach of Ramla, and the white sand Iz-Zewwieqa Bay, are all on the nearest coastline, perfect for a day out by the seashore. Mgarr Harbour is a quaint traditional fishing village where you can take a walk along the promenade, admire the yachts, and feast on the local cuisine. Before enjoying a cocktail in the famous Gleneagles Bar, take time to visit the impressive gothic Lourdes Chapel and the sculpture of the Three Graces. Slightly further afield is Hondoqir-Rummi for snorkelling, Dwerja Bay for scuba diving, Mgaar Ix-Xin for rock climbing, and Ghasni Beach for seclusion. The island of Gozo dates to neolithic times, it has been invaded and occupied by the Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, Sicilians, the French and finally, the British. This melting pot of cultures can be seen in its history, architecture, and culture. Start your historical education with the Ggantija Temples, one of the world’s oldest free-standing structures, and now a unesco and World Heritage Site. Continue with a tour of the capital city, Ir-Rabat, known locally as Victoria since 1887, renamed in honour of Queen Victoria to celebrate her jubilee. Walk the fortified Bronze Age citadel of the city, stop in Independence Square for a browse in the local market and a coffee in a café. Seek solace in the seventeenth-century Baroque Grand Basilica of St George before wandering the old streets full of shops selling delicacies and souvenirs. The city is also known for its collection of museums, theatres, clubs, and opera houses. Find peace and tranquillity with a stroll around Villa Rundle Public Gardens, established by the British in 1910. Finally, don’t miss a day out on the nearby island of Comino, take the ferry from Mgaar harbour, swim and snorkel in the beautiful blue lagoon before exploring the island’s natural habitat, numerous churches, and dining by the sea shore on freshly caught fish.
