À lovely home in Gozo

This is a beautiful property with everything you need for a self catering holiday. The pool was great and all poolside furniture provided. The village of Qala is authentic and attractive and peaceful - except when Qala FC won the Championship! We were eating at one of the lovely restaurants when the victory buses passed and we all turned out to cheer.

Lovely Villa in a Wonderful Location

Ta' Mananni is a gorgeous villa that is perfectly situated in the quiet, beautiful village of Qala. Its location is excellent - restaurants, bars, mini-marts, and stunning views of the island's landscape are always within reach. The house is spacious, clean and equipped with a generous number of amenities - it was easy to feel comfortable and at home here. We are so grateful to Raymond & his staff and we truly hope that we can return in the future. Thank you for a great stay, Raymond!

Amazing Property

It's very rare that you arrive at a property and it totally exceeds your expectations but this was the case with Ta' Mananni. The rooms were much bigger than we expected and the whole place is immaculate. The pool was pristine and I cannot recommend this property enough. Raymond was so helpful both before and during our visit. He answered any questions we might have incredibly quickly. The town is lovely with a number of great bars and restaurants within walking distance, all within a very picturesque little square by the church. It is a quick trip down to the ferry which takes you over to Malta should you want to spend some time there - we did, but there is also plenty to do on Gozo. This was our first trip to Gozo and Malta but it won't be our last. We would also look to stay at Ta' Mananni again.

Wonderful villa

We had such a relaxing stay in this amazing villa. The entrance to the property is unassuming but the wow factor when you open the gate into the beautiful pool and outside area carries on as you enter the property. It is better than the photographs and everything is just perfect and so spacious and comfortable. The local area is really nice with fantastic views just outside the property. There are a few restaurants in walking distance along with a well stocked chemist and local grocery store, a larger supermarket is a short drive. The island of Gozo is really lovely and worth exploring, although google maps did take us down some interesting routes. Xlendi was one of our favourite places for swimming, watersports and rock jumping, if you dare, there were also some nice places to eat. I would totally recommend you visit Gozo and stay in Ta' Mananni. Many thanks to Raymond who was very helpful both before and during our stay.

Lovely stay

Lovely property, very spacious. Raymond was an excellent host, very easy to contact. The pool was a lovely temperature with plenty of sun beds and chairs. Very much enjoyed our stay here. Qala was a lovely little town, perhaps a bit too quiet for some people. Lovely bars and restaurants especially the D Bar. Overall a wonderful holiday.

Our 9th visit to the lovely village of Qala and our 4th stay at this farmhouse. The house is clean and comfortable, with wonderful outside space and a fab pool. Raymond the owner is really good at keeping in touch and replying to any queries. Highly recommend this farmhouse and the village of Qala.

Excellent Holiday

The Villa was lovely, spacious, clean and the 6 of us had all we wanted, bedrooms and bathrooms each, even an extra bathroom. The pool was great too, real suntrap. We used the local bars and restaurants, all good, particularly D-Bar and Ta-Vestru. The little supermarket behind the church was great, an Alladins Cave! We used the open-topped bus for a tour of the island and found some great bays and sites which we revisited by local taxis and bus services. The owner was particularly friendly and helpful throughout, thanks Raymond.

Great place, quiet location

The property is very well equipped with good outdoor space and a lovely pool (much needed in the 30-pus degree temperatures we enjoyed). Location in Qala is out of the way and quiet and yet there is access to nice little restaurants,a couple of bars, mini-markets and a pharmacy. Perfect for us.

A great time had by all

A well needed break for the family, including a 7 & 4 year olds, who enjoyed dragging us into the lovely pool each morning. Raymond’s villa lived up to expectations, from the minute I opened the entrance door, seeing the pool to walking inside with my son to run around selecting one of the three ample bedrooms. We opted for the one downstairs as we could get to the pool first. All had their own en suite, and beds were comfortable too. The property is set in a great location for both exploring Gozo and Malta. It is in a quieter part of Qala and has very easy access to the ferry so no problem for trips over to the mainland. There were a number of close by supermarkets, small and large (Gozo size) and perfectly adequate for all the usual family supplies. There is a decent relaxing beach nearby within a short car trip, and within walking distance bars and a few restaurants making a perfect excuse to not cook! So with a hire car at ones disposal (parking at the end of the entrance ally is not a problem), I would say Raymond’s villa makes for the perfect base to enjoy all Malta (and Gozo) has to offer. Thank you.

Five stars

A lovely traditional Gozitan property with good access to amenities. Just one thing though. The provision of groceries was very kind but it would be useful to know what has been provided as we went to the supermarket before going to the property and then found items had been duplicated

Fantastic property: super clean, very spacious and well appointed. Great mix of authentic style and modern fittings, bathrooms and kitchen all left you wanting for nothing. Patio and pool spot on: sun trap, with shade! Balconies and rooftop a great surprise find. Even our surly 14 and 17 year olds loved the property. Walking distance to local restaurants, 2km from the ferry. Easy to get around via either bus or car. Property is a real delight, Ray is a lovely host: always available, never intrudes. We’ll be back!

Relaxing vacation....Loved the accommodations.

We loved the location and the pool was awesome! We used the grill a couple nights but mostly walked to town and had dinner at some fabulous spots. Highly recommend this property if you are staying in Gozo. The AC in the bedroom worked wonderfully. It is controlled by a pay per use machine but it only costs about 3 Euro a night to run. Well worth it. Just wish there was one in the livingroom. The owner left us some bread, ham, butter and milk. It really came in handy and was a nice touch. He also was always available to us when we needed something like where is the best grocery store. ;-) We had a great time.

Lovely Villa in a Lovely Town

Completely enjoyed our stay at this lovely villa in Qala. Highlights included the large bedrooms, beautiful pool, ample on-street parking, being able to walk into town, the quiet location and our host, Raymond, who was easily reached for questions and who went above and beyond making sure we enjoyed our stay. It is a short drive to the ferry, and we used a ride share one day to the terminal at Mgarr and took the high speed passenger ferry on an easy ride to Valletta, so we didn't have to take the car ferry and drive in. No need! We spent a wonderful morning at the Temple at Ggantija, so fascinating, and stopped for an amazing lunch at Oleander in Xaghra. Then on to the salt pans on the coast and visited the wonderful Natural Xwenji Sea Salt Shop, where we met the "producer," Alfred Attard, and chatted with him and his lovely daughter who runs their shop. We bought the most delicious sea salt! So memorable. We especially enjoyed the fresh seafood and pizza at Xerri Ik Bukket, a restaurant with amazing water views and just a short walk from the villa. Great Maltese wines as well. They are open very late, and saved us at 10:30 pm after a long flight when we were so hungry. Ta' Mananni was the perfect getaway for our family and we enjoyed ourselves there so much! Thank you, Raymond and staff!

Perfect family holiday

This was the first family holiday for my husband, myself, our daughter, her partner and our granddaughter whose second birthday was on the Thursday of our stay. The villa is large and airy, lighter than many Mediterranean properties and very well-equipped. It has three large double bedrooms, all with sizeable ensuites and two with dressing rooms as well. There is also a large family bathroom downstairs. The owner came and checked that we had everything we needed the day after we arrived. The pool is larger than one might expect for a private house and is cleaned and checked twice weekly. There are two well-stocked provisions shops within an short, gentle walk and a bread van toots and stops just over the road daily. Qala is a quiet place but has several restaurants and an amazing church in the square. We wanted somewhere quiet so Qala suited us, but it's easy to get to other parts of the island as Gozo isn't very big. If it's too small for you and you want excitement and more touristbased places, the Malta ferry is a very short ride away. I would definitely recommend this house to families with one word of caution - the pool has a deep end so children would need supervising.

Off-Season at Ta' Mananni

When we initially booked, Raymond, our host, kindly reminded us that this was not high season, we shouldn't expect poolside conditions, and weather might be highly unpredictable. We were aware of this, but as this particular season turned out, the weather was unusually spectacular — mid 60s, blue skies and sunshine every day. Plus, the island was filled with Christmas decorations and holiday cheer. Even without all that, Ta' Mananni off-season was a complete delight. Raymond could not have been more helpful with all of my pre-check-in questions. The property was immaculately maintained and we loved its location. A short walk in a couple of directions lead us to spectacular views of Comino, Malta, and the Mgarr Harbour. We were able to easily walk into Qala (charming village) for supplies and dinners. We also walked down to the harbour one day — easy walk and fabulous views, although I recommend a ride back since it's all uphill. We did not rent a car and instead relied on ride-share drivers, who appeared within 5 minutes or less whenever we needed them. The host, the house, and its location are all marvelous. Go for it!

About the host

Hosted by Raymond Attard

Born and Bred in Malta and Gozo! Ex air traffic controller as a profession, lately company director of an import and manufacturing company. My wife Marianne and myself manage two beautiful holiday properties one of which is Ta Mananni.

Why they chose this property

We converted ta Mananni way back in 1998 when we bought the land with a couple of rooms. Managed to convert to a delightful holiday villa withing two years from scratch. We recycled all the limestone which was available on site and which one can admire in today's Ta Mananni villa!

What makes this property unique

The beautiful swimming pool is part and parcel of the villa, one does not exist without the other!
