Reviews of Property: Exclusively for Adults. Value for Money. Small Mediterranean Farmhouse.

What can we say other than we had a fantastic time!! The facilities were excellent and the property very clean and well maintained. The courtesy call we received on our first day was very helpful; though its hard to believe we needed help with anything - there are instructions, helpful hints and maps everywhere!! Gozo is such a lovely little island and we had a memorable honeymoon, thank you Dan & Laura

This was my 5th visit to Ta Cikka, and as always it was a beautiful holiday. The house was perfect as always. Great location for resturants and evening walks. It's always such a nice holiday in Gozo. Quiet, relaxed and garanteed sunshine. 5 star accomodation at 3 star prices. Excellent.

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon in early June, 2009. It was lovely...private and yet conveniently located to almost all parts of the island. We planned to rent a car, but ended up walking the entire two weeks that we were on Gozo, from village to village. The house is not a conventional farmhouse according to U.S. expectations of a large house on a wide stretch of land. Still, we quickly came to appreciate the small yet spacious house sitting at the edge of a village outside the city center. It's just 2 km from the most relaxing seaside village on the island and some breathtaking views of the cliffs at sunset. Also, the amenities are very clean and modern, e.g. washing machine, stove, dvd player, etc. We especially appreciated the washing machine when our luggage was temporarily lost in Heathrow Airport and we arrived in Gozo with nothing but the shirts on our backs!

Well, what a lovely, relaxing holiday my two sisters and I have just had in this georgous farmhouse. Mario and Frances can not have been more helpful, the house was well equiped, the split transfers were so easy and we hired bikes, so were able to get around the island very easily (although we did look a little odd arriving at Strasse restaurant all dolled up on our mountain bikes!)

We would definately recommend a break on this lovely island, it is just so relaxing and everyone we met was so friendly.

We just hope we can come back again one day. Many thanks!

Finished to a high standard and full of Mediterranean charm Ta Chikka has everything one needs for a peaceful, relaxing stay. We had a last-minute week's get-away from the stresses of work.
The simple, straight-forward instructions in the house make it almost impossible to feel anything but welcome. All home comforts are right here, so self-catering is easy – even down to the welcome pack of food and wine - however the restaurants are so reasonable and plentiful that it seems almost a crime not to take advantage!
Three shower rooms are fantastic for having one's own private bathroom even for that romantic get-away! And after our wonderful evening meal out, we enjoying being able to sit and enjoy either the stereo (take your own music) or borrow Mario and Frances' dvds and books.
Two sunbeds on the roof make for a wonderful place to fry gently in the Gozo sun while taking in the magnificent view of the Citadel and surrounding countryside.
It was lovely to find unrestricted parking outside in the street – just be mindful of blocking the neighbour's doorway.
The local shop is open 9-12 and 3-7 with all ones basic needs, and the local merchants come down the street every morning at 8.30-9.00ish, horns blaring, so no need for an alarm! (With that in mind, be prepared for unique driving experiences while tackling the roads and other users!)
We had such a wonderful, relaxing, romantic time that we've booked it for our son's honeymoon for later this year. Such an unusual holiday, yet so easy and stress-free it was marvellous. Fantastic – can't wait to go again!!

My husband and i enjoyed the holiday in the lovely farmhouse, it was everything we expected from reading the other reviews. The welcome pack is a very nice thought, you dont have to worry about buying food when you arrive. We didn't hire a car but as we both love walking we had no problems gettng around, Victoria and Xlendi bay are both very close. Tradesmen call each morning but if you miss them there are some good food shops very close by in the village and in Victoria. The locals are very friendly and helpful, the owner of the local shop offered to go into Victoria to buy us logs and he delivered them to us. The next time we visit Gozo we would diffinately stay at the farmhouse again.

My husband and I have just enjoyed a week at this cute and cozy farmhouse in Kercem. Mario, the owner is very responsive, friendly, and helpful (via e-mail). At our request, a grill was provided for us to bbq. (Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate enough for us to use it.) The farmhouse has everything as described on the site. The large rooftop terrace has 2 sun chaises w/ umbrella and lovely views of the Citadel/fortress in Victoria and surrounding countryside. The charming courtyard provides natural light. The main bedroom is generous enough for two w/ a small shower bath. The smaller 2nd bedroom has 2 twin beds, but has the larger shower bath. There's a fp in the cozy lounge/dining area which you need to use in winter! Firewood is available at the area market stores but Mario provides several logs for your first night, along with bread, eggs, milk, cheese, and meat (in case you arrive too late for a trip to the market). The kitchen is well supplied with cooking utensils, but there is only one large pot and no large skillet, which we could have used. But we cook more (and bigger) than most folks - so maybe that was just our unique problem. Good washing machine but no clothes dryer - dry on rooftop line. In the lounge/dining area there is a bookshelf with a nice selection of paperback books and lots of tourist info on both Malta and Gozo. There’s also a tv, dvd & cd player along with a small selection of each. Vendors come down the street every morning selling fresh foods (around 8:30) – which is fun - but you can easily walk to Victoria and Xlendi Bay, which have good restaurants and food shops. There is a great path (steep) which you can take down to Xlendi Bay which we did twice to dine by the water. We also easily drove to all the sights on the island...a week is plenty of time to see absolutely everything and meet most of friendly Gozo! We thought the driving directions provided to the farmhouse were good and easy to follow. A car (left side driving) is advisable for getting to the farmhouse and for touring the rest of the island. Parking is available right at the unit. If you want a quiet place and a slow pace - this is perfect for you. Not too appealing to people with children, I would think – there’s really no place for them to play. Be aware also that you will do much walking between the three levels of the farmhouse. (Try the meat pies for 1 Euro at the market in Victoria and buy the local inexpensive Gozo wine.) Enjoy!

Peace at last! A proper place with us grown ups and our needs in mind without breaking the bank. What a great little place for de-stressing and walking around in a perfect time-warp. Bought 2 drinks and 2 snacks at the local with change from a 5 euro note. That is less than the Europe conversion kit I bought at Manchester airport which I later discovered I did not need because Malta & Gozo have the same electric system as the U.K.

I love it and will be coming again. Thank you Mario & Frances!
