Home description
This attractive, new villa has been designed in traditional style, using the beautiful, local limestone. It is situated in the beautiful village of Xaghra and is only five minutes’ drive to the beach at Ramla Bay. There are several good restaurants set around the lovely village square, overlooking the splendid church Interior
The villa is bungalow style and has been decorated to a very good standard with pine furniture. All the rooms have wooden beamed ceilings and ceramic, tiled floors.
The Island of Gozo region
Gozo is not an island for those seeking the bright lights and nightlife of other Mediterranean resorts. Here, the pace of life is slow and relaxed. On Gozo, the main town of Victoria has a thriving cultural life of its own with attractions ranging from opera to horse racing and firework displays at fiesta time. Locals go out of their way to welcome visitors, particularly during village feasts which take place throughout the summer holidays. You'll be tempted to stay put in your holiday villa, simply soaking up the atmosphere and scenery – but with plenty of traditional local bars and restaurants to choose from, you can have the best of both worlds.
Xaghra area
The huge and ornately embellished baroque church of our Lady of Victories forms the focal point of this sprawling hilltop village.
The whole village radiates around this Church Square. Lifestyle is simple and old fashioned- An interesting laid back lifestyle, Historic attractions and a beautiful beach are the main attractions of Xaghra for the holidaymaker. Xaghra is also famous for hosting one of the oldest man made Temples in the world- Ggantija Temlpes ( The Giants Feet)
As a holiday resort, Xaghra offers some fantastic views of the Gozitan landscape, it presents itself with an old fashioned and laid back lifestyle, friendly people and very safe to stay. The nearby beach of Ramla , historic attractions and the holiday homes in the area make Xaghra a holidaymakers favourite for all the family. Entertainment is lacking in the area but for this one can always venture to mainland Malta for the day whenever you felt like it. Cost of car and passenger ferry "Gozo Channel" is cheap and often offers a shuttle service
Xaghra is most famous for the prehistoric sites, the temples of Ggantija, and the Neolithic site of Santa Verna, which lie nearby. Calypso's cave, of mythical fame, also lies within Xaghra The present village has a more recent history. It became a parish in 1688, but the main church was only built during the mid 19th century. It is one of the most beautiful of Gozo's churches, with its richly-decorated interior, gilt sculptures, Italian marbles and paintings. The village also has two curious grottos, Ta' Xerri and Ta' Ninu, both of them beneath private houses but open to the public. The grottos have remarkable stalactites and stalagmites. The village also has two unusual museums: a Toy Museum; and an old wheat-grinding windmill. The mill, still in working order, has been fully restored and houses a collection of agricultural and domestic artefacts from centuries past.
The village of Xaghra is poised on a high limestone plateau. This explains the formation of caves and grottoes in limestone terrains. Nearby is the lovely beach of Ramla.

Guestbook
Guest Chris Harman Country Message Ta Fredu was a perfect farmhouse for our small family. The pool was a big hit and the neighbourhood very quiet. We will definitely be staying there again. The pick up service Anton provided was excellent.
Guest Andrea & family Country Italy Message My wife, our 2 kids and myself have spent a quality time at "Ta Fredu". Just on top of Ramla Bay, it is the ideal place for relax and fun at the same time. The baby-boy loved the swimming pool at least as much ... as i did! Everything is very convenient anfd for sure we will come again. See you soon Anton!
