The property is located in the village of Qala in a traditional quaint alley. The house is built in traditional limestone and includes architectural features which add charm and character. Upon entering the property, one finds a very spacious 300 years old room with limestone arches and very thick walls, which reflects the typical architectural features and techniques applied in those times. The old room is very spacious and has been left nearly bare from furniture in order to allow our guests to admire the architectural importance of the property. The house is in fact located in an Urban Conservation Area, in view of its history and the fact that it is located in a charming old alley, away from it all, thus allowing our guests to relax and enjoy the typical life style of a Gozitan village. Although part of the property is very old, the remaining part has been built in traditional limestone, flag stones and wooden beams. The newly built section of the house has been finished to extremely high standards, to meet our guests requirements.
At ground floor level, one finds a spacious kitchen which has been designed to blend with the décor of the property. In addition, one can also find a spacious dining area, which includes a 3 meter dining table and a living area which includes two three-seater sofas. The living area also enjoys a wood burning fireplace. A shower is also located at ground floor level.
The open plan kitchen/living area overlooks a 10 meter outdoor swimming pool. The outdoor area includes a shaded area which provides our guests with the possibility of comfortable al fresco dining and also includes a gas BBQ. The swimming pool area has also been nicely landscaped. The property has CCTV cameras on the outside area, as an added security benefit to the guests. The cameras are located on the main door leading to the street, on the secondary door of the property leading to the yard and on the outdoor pool area. The CCTV covers the area in front of the main door, the outdoor pool area and the side garden area.
The property has four double bedrooms, two of which lead to a very spacious and sunny terrace over looking the outdoor swimming pool and also enjoys great views. One of the bedrooms leads onto a separate terrace which includes very modern glass railing which ensures that the view can be enjoyed in full. One of the bedrooms is adjoined to an open-space bathroom, having a free standing bath and traditional patterned tiles. In addition, another bedroom has en-suite facilities.
The newly built section of the house has just been finished. In addition, the old section of the house underwent meticulous restoration in order to restore its original beauty. The bathrooms have been finished in gres tiles and include modern fittings and facilities.
It is important to note that the staircase of the house has been finished in Gozitan hard stone which has been quarried from the same village where the house is situated. In fact the stone which was used, has been selected by the world renowned architect Renzo Piano for the Maltese Parliament project, which is situated in Valletta (Malta) and which has become one of the landmarks of our islands.
In addition to this, the property has an additional feature which is quite difficult to find in Gozo. In fact the property has an indoor heated swimming pool which enjoys a spacious relaxation area. Furthermore, the indoor pool area has been decorated in glass mosaic tiles which have been specifically designed for the property and also includes a beautiful feature wall in Gozitan hard stone. The indoor pool area is very bright and airy and includes a shower room and an outdoor area which has been nicely landscaped. The indoor pool also includes massaging jets which enhances the experience of the property, especially during the cold months of the year.
