About the home

The Owl is a charming traditional Gozitan farmhouse located in the quaint village of Qala. This 300 year old house brims full of traditional Gozitan features and has been lovingly restored and refurbished to a high modern standard. The house features a stunning split level garden with it's own private swimming pool and BBQ area, creating the ideal setting for many a relaxing day by the pool or evening socialising.

The farmhouse includes 4 bedrooms (2 of which are en-suite) a kitchen, living room, garage, roof terrace and garden. The Owl is conveniently located close to the Gozo harbour of Mgarr and within walking distance from the beautiful bay of ''Hondoq ir-Rummien''. Local amenities include restaurants, bars, food stores and a pharmacy.

The house is ideal for various types of guests, including couples looking for a peaceful romantic break and families with both young and older children.

The island of Gozo is a beautiful island that provides excellent diving and sightseeing opportunities. Gozo is only a 20 minute ferry ride away from Malta yet light years away from the hustle and bustle of everyday living!

Gozo is said to be the island ''where time has stood still''. This is true in the sense that it is unspoilt although at the same time the friendliness and charm of the Gozitan people make sure that it is an island which breathes warmth.

“lovely house in a good location with pool and BBQ” We throughly enjoyed our stay at 'The Owl'. It is a beautiful old house that has been well restored with a fully equipped kitchen. The pool and BBQ area are superb. the owner was very friendly and welcoming. If I had to try to pick holes I would say that the bed sheets could have been better quality, But hey if that's the the worst I can find then we obviously didn't have any problems. We would come back again and would have no hesitation in recommending 'The Owl' to friends..
