Luxurious top floor apartment in much sought after Xlendi Bay

I don't know which came first - falling in love with Gozo or my Maltese husband! After spending ten years working around the world and living out of a suitcase, I admit to being less than excited about being sent to Malta. With visions of crumbling buildings, endless churches and a slow pace of life, I was unprepared for the vibrancy and beauty of these islands. Now, we are lucky enough to own this beautiful apartment (and a 1 bed in Gharb with pool (ref 91719), which we have furnished with considerable thought and effort to reflect the peace and character of these islands. We have created a haven of peace and relaxation; a place to generally kick back and unwind. We named our property 'Azure Escapes' as it really is an escape from the rest of the world; stay here a week and you feel as though you've disappeared for a month! As one of our recent guests summed up, 'It was always a pleasure to return there at the end of each day'. PS. I was right about the churches though

XLENDI VILLAGE Our apartment is located in the flat village area of Xlendi within a minutes walk to the local grocery and souvenir shops, cafes, bars and restaurants; many of them situated on the seafront. There are some excellent restaurants for a village of this size with a choice of Italian pizza and pasta, local cuisine and fish and seafood. Xlendi is also home to a couple of award winning restaurants. The warm, gentle waters of Xlendi Bay are ideal for families with children because of the protection from strong currents provided by the natural reef surrounding the bay. This reef also makes Xlendi particularly appealing for experienced and beginner divers alike due to the abundance of marine wildlife and superb visibility. The apartment is an excellent base for exploring the rest of the island with the capital Victoria and its' markets only 5 minutes by road. We are just 7 minutes from Dwerja and the Azure Window and only 10 minutes from the red sandy bay of Ramla

Local activities diving, swimming, walking, sailing, cycling, fishing, wind-surfing, water skiing, paragliding

Car hire is amongst the cheapest in Europe, with prices starting from €18 (£14) per day. Whichever mode of transport you choose, it is actually a scenic journey along the coast road and the ferry has excellent facilities including a magazine kisok and cafeteria. The total transfer time should not exceed an hour and a half. NEW FOR 2008 - We have just bought a one bedroom apartment with swimming pool in a small, exclusive development in the beautiful village of Gharb. Please view property ref 91719.

Peaceful Gozo

With a population of just 25,000, consisting mainly of farmers and fisherman, Gozo and it’s inhabitants have a personality quite distinct from big sister, Malta. The countryside is much greener with steep fertile valleys fringing spectacular rugged cliffs that plunge down to reveal alluring bays. WALKING Gozo is wonderful walking country with plenty of well trodden tracks through the more famous of the islands landmarks such as Calypso's Cave or the Azure Window but also some hidden secrets such as the beauty and peace of the Lunzjata Valley and the tiny hamlet of Ghasri. ROCK CLIMBING For the adrenalin junkies, the Maltese Islands offer a varied and scenic playground for rock climbers of all levels. There is a comprehensive guide in the apartment cataloguing 21 areas on all 3 islands with 1,200 + climbs. DIVING Xlendi is an enviable base for diving with depths from 5m to 45m and sights from natural rock formations to sunken wrecks and reefs bursting with marine life.

Review Submitted: December 06, 2007, Date of stay: December, 2007

Just a note to let you know we had a super week on Gozo. It was a lovely time of year, the temperature was just right. The transfers ran like clockwork - thank you for organising them. I'm so glad we spotted your apartment on the Farnham Ramblers website. The flat was ideal, it had everything we needed and was an excellent base. We loved Xlendi - it was always a pleasure to return there at the end of the day.
Sandra McGuire - May 2007

We had a super holiday and the flat, Xlendi, Gozo and the weather were perfect. We were most impressed with the transfer arrangements which allowed the holiday to pass without a hitch. Thank you for letting us share
your home for 2 weeks.
Nigel and Alison McKee - July 2007

We had a wonderful time in Gozo, despite the sun burn! The apartment was great, it couldn't have been much closer to the sea. The girls thoroughly enjoyed themselves, they spent most of their time snorkel ling. I am sure we will visit again.
