Ta’ Rena (farmhouse)

Home description

Ta’ Rena has been lovingly transformed into a family house of character and traditional Gozitan charm. The property sleeps six, has a pool and boasts one of the best vantage points on Gozo. Spread over three floors, it has breathtaking landscape views both from the pool terrace and roof top balcony.

Gozo is a great getaway from the hustle and bustle on Malta. It is easy to get to and will make your trip an unforgettable one. The Gozitans thrive on fishing and agriculture and this is evident in the small fishing villages that dot the island. The scenery provides a spectacular backdrop of limestone farmhouses, rolling hills and clear Mediterranean blue sea.

The Island of Gozo region

Gozo, popularly known as the island of Calypso, is the second largest island of the Maltese archipelago. Together with the smaller island of Comino and mainland Malta, the three islands form the Republic of Malta. Gozo lies 5km north west of Malta and involves a 25-minute ferry crossing from the mainland.

With 27 000 residents, Gozo’s main town, Victoria, is surrounded by 13 smaller towns and villages. It has a selection of sandy bays and seafront villages. Restaurants hug the turquoise Mediterranean and serve local cuisine such as rabbit, sheep’s cheese and fresh local fish. There are two five star hotels and a number of fine dining restaurants (Ta Frenc near Malsaforn is one). Malsaforn is a very pretty bay, 10 – 15 minutes away by car. The bay is surrounded by many restaurants overlooking the Mediterranean where fish and local food is excellent.

Gozo has an air of tranquillity and peacefulness about it. It holds onto its deep roots and traditions. Very different to Malta, commercial life has evaded Gozo where tradition and a farming is resilient.

June is an excellent time of year to come as the summer season is just getting into full swing and it is not too hot. July through to September are the peak summer months, the temperature on average is about 30C/86F. August is the hottest of these months, the temperature soars to above 40C/104F.
On the other hand, October is a great time to visit as the temperatures are bearable, the sun still shines, but the island is settling back to a normal pace again. The coldest months are December to February, with a temperature of about 15C/59F. It can be quite wet during these months, including November, but you will often find that there are beautiful sunny days in between. There is an average of about 5-6 hours of sunshine at this time of year.
