About this property
Perched on a serene hilltop overlooking the enchanting coastline of Gozo, Malta, this sprawling 5-bedroom villa beckons you to indulge in an unforgettable retreat for up to 12 guests. Villa Alcea’s stone-cool interiors, comfortable bedrooms, and sumptuous pool and garden make it the ideal retreat to get away from it all.
Upon entering the villa, guests are greeted by Villa Alcea’s stone interiors, including arched passages and vaulted ceilings. The stone’s beige tone absorbs a glow from the floods of natural light streaming in from the garden while keeping the home cool and comfortable. The spacious living room, with its large fireplace, plush sofas, armchairs, and designated workspace, is the perfect place to relax after a big day out exploring the island.
A fully equipped kitchen is adjacent to the living room, a haven for culinary enthusiasts eager to whip up delicious meals using locally sourced ingredients. Whether you’re tossing together a Mediterranean Salad or preparing a holiday feast for family and friends, this kitchen’s ample counter space and range of modern appliances is a dream to cook in.
Guests will find five exquisitely appointed bedrooms throughout the rest of the house, each thoughtfully designed to provide comfort and tranquillity. The bedrooms feature a range of sleeping arrangements, from rooms with queen-sized beds and spacious sitting areas, to rooms with double beds and convertible sofa beds, ensuring Villa Alcea can cater to a range of guests. All bedrooms boast ensuite bathrooms with a soaking tub or walk-in shower to ensure the utmost convenience and privacy.
Outdoors, the villa’s expansive terrace invites you to soak up the sun by the private pool or savour al fresco meals under the shade of a pergola. The meticulously landscaped garden provides a tranquil oasis, a place to unwind amidst lush greenery.
For those seeking a blend of modern comforts and traditional charm, this Gozo villa is a haven where every room tells a story of relaxation and bliss. Whether you’re exploring the island’s historic sites or simply revelling in the serenity of the villa, this idyllic retreat promises a vacation like no other.
Smaller, more casual, and much less crowded than the larger main island of Malta, Gozo is the perfect place to get away. And perhaps the best way to explore the island is on a guided ATV tour. These tours make all the stops to visit some of the island’s best sights, including the salt pans, Sanap Cliffs, Inland Sea, Tal-Mixta Cave, and more). So, if you’d like to come to terms with the island quickly so that you can spend the rest of your time on the beach, this is the activity for you.
The Blue Lagoon is one of the most popular attractions in Malta and is only a short boat ride from Gozo. There’s an inexpensive ferry that leaves from Gozo, and some of these trips include visits to the caves on Comino. You can also take private tours of either 3 hours or up to 7 hours, which include food and drinks.
Wied Il-Ghasri (15-minute drive) is perhaps the most unique swimming spot you’ll ever find. Situated in a winding gorge between orange cliff faces, the vivid green water reached by a safe rock staircase is picturesque and perfect for a dip.
If you’re looking to partake in some water sports, Hondoq Ir-Rummien Beach (30-minute drive) is the place to be. It’s a small, sandy beach with amazing turquoise waters and Joyride Watersports – where you can rent canoes, kayaks, jet skis and many other fun water-based toys.
History buffs will be interested in exploring the medieval citadel in Victoria (a 9-minute drive). The first fortifications in the hill at Victoria date back to 1500 BC, while the current structure dates back to the 1600s. The citadel boasts an Old Prison, The Battery, and Old Grain Silos, all with great views of the island.
Wine lovers will be keen to check out the nearby Tal-Massar Winery (3-minute drive). This beautiful vineyard crafts various wines and offers a fantastic tasting session for visitors.
