"Wow! We’d only reached the foot of the external stone stairway that leads from the private road to the entrance but already the view was breathtaking.
We were standing on a large pool terrace surrounded by blissful Mediterranean gardens with lush greenery and olive trees. Beyond the Pergla valley feels like an extension of the garden – as though it’s been placed there purely for your enjoyment.
The valley leads to the tranquil Ghajn Barrani Bay where sparkly blue waters glisten peacefully. A hand glider soared just beyond the cliff edge. I was about to put it on my ‘things to do in Gozo’ list until Doris this farmhouse’s owner reminded me that even being on the 3rd floor of a hotel makes me giddy.
Back to the house. You enter through a long kitchen where the farmhouse conversion respectfully enhances the original stone features and beams. There’s a large wooden dining table here too and beyond a lounge. Each bedroom has its own character and charm and I certainly felt an overall feeling of airy space and comfort about this Gozo holiday farmhouse.
Pergola leaves a lasting impression. If you’re holidaying on Gozo in search of peace and relaxation this is your Nirvana". Jules
