Magnifica - by Jules
Villa magnifica is a sight to behold. With panoramic views from its outdoor areas, and an ever-tempting pool that seems to meld seamlessly with the blue skies, it is quickly becoming one of the all-time favourite holiday homes on the island. Upon entrance you are immediately welcomed by a beautiful expansive living area combined with a fully equipped kitchen and dining room overlooking the pool area and jaw dropping views. Villa Magnifica enjoys a 7-seater Jacuzzi Hot Tub cleverly designed to pamper yourself while you can also enjoy the views. It has a pool table and some gym equipment. If you and your family/group opt to stay at ‘Villa Magnifica’ then make it a point to go out and enjoy a walk with beautiful views from various viewpoints around the village. The village name of ‘Ix-Xaghra’, is derived from Arabic and means ‘wilderness’. It is located on a lengthy stretch of high ground northeast of the capital town of Victoria, encircled by the beautiful bays of Ramla, Għajn Barrani and Marsalforn. The valleys of Ramla, Ta’ l-Għejjun and Marsalforn caress this lovely village and give you access to lovely country walks, biking/quad-biking or even horse-riding. The famous bay of Ramla, assumed by most as the island’s best beach, is one of the must-dos when visiting Gozo. This beach is very popular for swimming and snorkelling while the golden coloured sand is a haven for sunbathers. Another popular tourist area which is also close and easily accessed by public transport is Marsalforn Bay. This bay is a popular base for diving enthusiasts, who can choose from a variety of diving schools and dive sites and is well served with nice restaurants and bars by the sea. Nestled in the heart of the village lie some of the world’s oldest free-standing monuments – the megalithic temples of Ggantija. Other points of interest found at Xaghra are Ta’Kola Windmill; Pomskizillious Museum of Toys; Xerri’s Grotto, Ninu’s Cave and Calypso Cave.

“It always amazes us how deceptive a front door can be when we discover what lies behind. Arriving at Magnifica, is one of those moments. Impossible to imagine the amount of house, depth of detail and creativity over 3 levels. Contemporary architecture, great amenities, and a superior finish make this a fabulous find for large groups and families.
As we enter the ground floor, a large brightly lit open space features a modern kitchen with breakfast island. The dining area and adjoining lounge provide space to spread out. And, of course, you can’t miss the pictureesque scene from the terrace.
Step outside terrace doors and absorb the beautiful landscape. A private pool terrace has one of the best vantage points of Gozo. Its elevated position on the side of a valley offers miles of panoramic views.
Venture to the next floor and discover 5 bedrooms all with ensuite shower rooms. These have superior boutique-style bedroom furnishings that emphasise Magnifica’s contemporary feel.
We then venture in the opposite direction, to a lower ground floor accessed by a feature wrought iron staircase. Here, we find an unexpected contemporary space with 7-seater jacuzzi and more great views. Terrace doors open onto a balcony with sunbeds to soak up the atmosphere. A well equipped gym and pool table offer hours of entertainment.
This holiday “pad” takes a mighty punch. Unimagiable behind such a normal front door”. Jules

Locale
There’s a real buzz about Xaghra’s village square. Its cosmopolitan range of restaurants and cafés are great for a hearty meal or a light snack, and just as good for people-watching. The town (and your Gozo villa) is little more than a kilometre from the island’s main summer resort of Marsalforn, with its excellent swimming spots, restaurants, bars, and bustling summer crowds.
Ix-Xwejni Bay and Qbajjar Bay are both easily reached through Marsalforn or iż-Żebbuġ. The two shallow bays are located right next to each other, featuring small pebbly beaches and rocky stretches that lead into clear, blue water. Both offer excellent swimming and good diving, especially for beginners.
Xaghra is also home to the unique Ggantija prehistoric temples, the oldest standing structures in the world. Together with the burial grounds close by, they’re a magnet for historians and archaeologists from all over the world.
Your Gozo villa is just 5 minutes from the nearest bus stop. Catch service 322 for Victoria and other villages.
