Family friendly home

Countess Olaf Scotland
Review Submitted: November 17, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
We spent 2 weeks at the villa Arzella summer '08 and found the villa to be perfect for our family group. We took 2 children (7 and 9) and found the outside space to be private and fully enclosed for their safety. The pool was excellent and essential in the extreme summer heat but we were glad we took our own pool toys! The house has all the basics you'll need for an enjoyable holiday and the outside eating areas were perfect. For those of you in a car be prepared to park on a pretty narrow road outside the property. We had a 72 year old in our group who found the property to her liking but suffered for the lack of air conditioning. (There are fans though in each room which were ESSENTIAL). The property is about a 10 minute walk from the village of Xaghra which has shops, banks (but no ATM) and nice restaurants. The Gozitan people are lovely and like the English which is a rare bonus in the present political climate! The children found the lack of decent Sky channels frustrating for what bit of TV viewing they did and the cooker was a bit of a challenge for those of us who are not microwave fans but overall we loved the property and would definitely go back in the future!
Owner's Response: Would like to mention that since September 2008 we have a different cable TV subscription with many more English channels and also the possibility for internet if guests desire so .

Arzella in Summer 2005

Josie M Gloucester uk
Review Submitted: May 29, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2007
We had a wonderful time in Arzella in Xaghra! It was very hot, but the farmhouse was lovely and cool. The pool was just the right size for our family and we all spent many hours floating on the airbed looking up into the blue sky.
The house is exactly as the photos show it to be. We found it to be beautiful and spacious.
The house is situated within easy walking distance of the village and is in a very quiet street. The village has some excellent restaurants and a small supermarket that stocks everything you need for self catering. On different days vans come selling fresh fish, vegetables and bread! They have different horns to indicate what they sell- we couldn't work it out- but the bread was delicious.
Our memories also include the loud cicadas in the garden area, and sitting on the balcony watching the fireworks of the festa from a town on the other side of the island. On our day of leaving a large swallowtail butterfly rested on a plant in the garden for over an hour and it was truly beautiful!
We are planning to return next summer, we have not had a holiday that compares to the one we had at Arzella.
Many thanks to Frans for making the booking and payment so straightforward.

We spent a very pleasant stay in Arzella...

Family of 5 with 3 children Grenoble, France
Review Submitted: May 25, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
... And we were happy to stay in Gozo rather than on Malta main island.
Regarding the house, we were pleased overall: it is nice, comfortable and well kept.
Each time we have needed, we have been immediately helped by a very friendly gentleman working for and sent by the real estate agency.
We have been offered a sort of "breakfast starter kit" waiting for us in the fridge at arrival, which was a very nice touch.
Missing a few ustensils regarding the equipment of the kitchen, but not a big issue...
