About this house rental
You are welcome to this old, charming farmhouse by a small overgrowned yard, where you will find a nice place for sitting, dining and relaxing. Just aside the small, but well equipped kitchen - incl. microwave. In the ground-floor you also find the rustic living area.
A very characterful open staircase from the courtyard leads to the 1st floor. On half way is the first of both bedrooms with double-bed. Shower and toilet of this room are some steps upwards on the level of the 2nd bedroom. This one offers 3 single beds and it's own bathroom. Air Conditioning in both bedrooms (by coin-box system).
By a steep spiral-staircase (beware for kids!!) you come to the large roof-terrace with its magnificant views over the roofs of Victoria to the cathedral "St.George" and the new refurbished Citadelle. On this terrace you'll find sunchairs incl. umbrella and the possibility for BBQ.
Restaurants and all shopping facilities are within walking distance. Parking is about 3-5 minutes away. From Victoria you can reach all sights and swimming possibilities within a few minutes by bus or rental car. Victoria is the main town of Gozo with a population of about 7000. Until 1887, the town bore the Arabic name Rabat, which means "suburb" (not to be confused with Rabat near Mdina on the main island of Malta). It is situated in the centre of Gozo. Victoria is also the centre of life on the island and its cultural centre. The flat, however, is in a quiet alley. The house in the old city cannot be reached by car.
Absolutely worth seeing is the newly renovated citadel high above the town, which was built as early as the Bronze Age, around 1500 BC. From the fortifications you have a wonderful 360° view over the island. In addition to a museum, the citadel also houses Gozo's cathedral and the courthouse.
Also worth seeing is the baroque basilica of San George of St. George. This dates from the Middle Ages, but was given a new façade in 1818 and was elevated to basilica status by Pope Pius XII in 1958. This basilica is also known as the Golden Church. It is completely covered with marble. It is richly decorated with paintings and statues and is located on Pjazza San Gorg, which is south of the market square - not far from your house.
Air conditioning in both bedrooms operate via a coin- system. Maltese eco-tax: €1.50 per person (from 18 years onwards) per night (payable to the landlord on site).

This house is in the midst of the narrow winding streets of old Victoria and a very convenient place for the sights and all the bars and restaurants which are within walking distance. There are views of the Citadel from the roof terrace (furnished with table and chairs and sunloungers).
Joe and his sister are very accommodating and we had a very pleasant week.

Wir kamen alle aus unterschiedlichen Teilen der Erde 🇩🇪 🇫🇷 🇺🇸 auf die Insel Gozo um gemeinsam Familienurlaub zu machen. Wir sind abenteuerlustig und suchen im Urlaub nach einzigartigen und ursprünglichen Unterkünften. Uns hat es in dem 400 Jahre alten Farmhaus, inmitten der Altstadt von Victoria, sehr gut gefallen. Die Unterkunft hat seinen Charm, war sehr sauber und gut ausgestattet. Jederzeit würden wir wieder kommen, allerdings dann eher im Frühjahr, wenn es nicht ganz so heiß ist. Obwohl die Mauern sehr dick sind war es tagsüber, wie auch nachts, sehr heiß im Haus. Wir waren sehr dankbar über die Ventilatoren die im Haus zur Verfügung standen. Auch die zur Verfügung gestellten Sonnenschirme kamen am Strand zum Einsatz.

We enjoyed our stay at Casa Barone, the house has full of character, is centrally located and guests can really experience the Gozitain lifestyle. Café at the square terrasse, shopping for bread and vegetables in local markets and walking everywhere. The neighborhood is delightful, the beds are comfortable and the owners respond quickly to all our needs. Living three weeks in the house was an adventure.... when it rains, it rains in the middle of the house.... when you leave your bedroom you are litterally outside...which has its charm but for some that could be challenging.... walking up the stairs in the rain to go to bathroom. The temperatures were sometimes cooler and the house would get a bit humid and cold. We also had a few issues with water, water pressure and sewers but the owners were very rapid in solving the problems. Amenties are old and not up to par with canadian standards : old washrooms, small gas oven , old kitchenware.... but it was clean and Rose came to clean and change linens everyweek. Joe was also very helpful in arranging transport, etc... they were very easy to reach. All in all we trully enjoyed our adventure at Casa Barone and for the price, location , tranquility , comfort of the beds and cleanliness we would recommend it. Annie Surprenant stayed at house april 29 to may 19 2019.
