Guestbook for Gizimina

"Beautiful house in a peaceful location!" The owners have thought of everything. Even their directory of things to do and places to eat is extremely comprehensive."


"Unlike any other Gozo farmhouse we have ever stayed in. This house is modern, light, clean and fresh. You can tell that it has only recently been refurbished as everything is new!"

"Just to say we had a wonderful time last week at Gizimina, nice and spacious for my three lads, i thought it was very well designed and in such a very rural and quiet area, we also fell lucky with Festas and on going fireworks with a great front seat view from the back balcony!"

"We had a fantastic holiday in Gozo and at Gizimina. Kercem is excellently located and was a delight, with lovely sea views from the tops of the cliffs. We divided our time between sightseeing by car, walking, cycling, swimming in the pool, and relaxing and reading by the pool. The house is lovely and had lots of room for our quite large party of seven people. It's great having the two courtyards to move between and the massive farmhouse kitchen is beautiful as is the rest of the house. We found the information/visitors' book helpful, and thank you also for the very generous welcome pack provided on our arrival."

"We were anticipating something rather special after viewing photos on the property website, and were pleasantly surprised to find that it more than lived up to our high expectations. The house comes supplied with all the mod cons, from a washing machine to a pasta server! It was great to have our own pool, so that we could go for a swim whenever we felt like it. If you want a relaxing holiday, this is the place to be, and Gizimina is the best property to stay in. Take it from me!"

"The pictures on your site simply don't not do this beautiful house justice, light and airy, and very spacious, there was nothing more you could have thought of in this perfect family home. The pool was perfect for cooling off, and with 7 of us, we spent plenty of time each day playing beach volleyball. Set in a lovely tranquil part of Gozo, yet easily accessible to all areas, we made the most of your recommendations and visited several beaches and restaurants. The local bakery and supermarkets were superb, as were the recommended coffee shops. We all agreed we want to come back soon, only next time for 2 weeks, not 1. Thankyou. Mark & Maxine Barratt
