Sharps Farmhouse

Description

Sharps Farmhouse is a serene, simple and understated home-from-home set in a charmingly rustic spot on the outskirts of Ghasri on the island of Gozo. Brimming with authentic, local island charm, emanating rustic style and cosy warmth, guests will immediately feel at ease.

Six guests can be accommodated across three bedrooms and three bathrooms with endless potential for stylish outdoor living, with a 7th guest sleeping in an extra bed. The garden is like stepping into an Italian courtyard, with the glistening pool as the centrepiece, framed with sleek terrace and indulgent loungers, surrounded by rolling hills and island landscapes.

Brimming with local flavour, low key open plan living features a natural indoor-outdoor fusion, while understated living is very much in keeping with the Gozitan style; flag tile flooring, natural stone and exposed beams. Despite this home being characterised by farmhouse appeal, all the contemporary comforts are in place, for those moments of downtime as a family, there is cable television, wi-fi and air-conditioning.

Guests can enjoy a fresh, local style breakfast, with views of the hills from the table, while the elegant internal arch is classically Gozitan. The pool is framed by neighbouring palm trees, offering cooling respite in the hotter months, while the shade of the parasol sets the scene for a poolside afternoon of relaxation. Dining al fresco, in the soft sea breezes, gathering as a family at the end of the day will be a pleasure.

Understated, cosy and home-like, this home's tranquillity is striking, while its unpretentious design choices make for an authentic farmhouse experience. Each of the three bedrooms emanates serenity and individual style, with wonderful views.

Stepping back in time, for a taste of island life in bygone years, within the comfort of a genuine Gozitan home-from-home, simply look no further!

#### Location
Sharps Farmhouse is set in a beautiful spot outside the charming village of Ghasri, set a short distance inland from Gozo's northwest coast, in the Maltese Archipelago. Ghasri is the smallest village in Gozo. The village lies tucked between the hills of iz-Zebbug and Ghammar. The village is famous for the Ta' Gurdan (lighthouse) which stands proudly at the top of the Gurdan Hill above the village, reaching 190m above sea level, its beam visible from 50km distance; visitors who reach its summit will be treated to 360-degree views of the island.

Gozo is the sister island of Malta, accessible by a 25-minute ferry crossing from Malta, it is the second-largest island in the archipelago, and the second largest of the three inhabited Maltese Islands. With a population of just 37,000 (7,000 of these in the capital Rabat, also known as Victoria), the island covers an area of 26 square miles.

Gozo is a beautiful island, like stepping into Malta in years gone-by, offering a slower pace of life, friendly locals, wonderful sea-food and a temperate year-round climate, with wonderful countryside, local village life, original fishing villages and local crafts, with endless stretches of coastline.

Less commercial and industrialised than Malta, it has a rich history and heritage from the awe-inspiring Megalithic Ggantija Temples to the Citadel and the magnificent St George's Basilica in the island's capital, Victoria (also known as Rabat), while ancient villages such as Gharb on the most westerly point have revealed Bronze Age settlement remains.

From any point in Gozo, the sea is no more than ten minutes away and the gentle currents keep it clear and clean making it an ideal destination for diving, fishing and sea kayaking. Ramla Beach is known for its red sands and is one of the island's finest, while trips out on boat trips to the surrounding islands make for stunning days out.

The capital offers a bustling and colourful array of local culture, plazas and flower-filled terraces to watch the world go by, historical sites and summer open-air concerts. Known for its exquisite seafood and family-friendly atmosphere, this unique island is a gem worth discovering.
