High View House can be found near the tranquil village of Nadar, the most eastern spot on the small island of Gozo, set in the heart of the Maltese Mediterranean Sea. There is no international airport on the island, guests are advised to fly to Malta, take transportation to the northern port, and then hop on the frequent ferry to Mgarr Harbour in Gozo. From Mgarr Harbour it is a short four-kilometre journey to your holiday home.
The island of Gozo is only seven kilometres long, and thirteen kilometres wide, so anywhere you want to go is within easy reach. For your holiday provisions, the nearest shops and restaurants are within walking distance of the house. The village of Nadar is set in a verdant valley, with a tranquil bay, and breath-taking sea views out to Malta, and the nearby island of Comino. Nadar has a beautiful Baroque church, and on the way to San Blas beach, the Ta’ Isopu Knights Tower. Within a two-kilometre radius, there are five fabulous beaches. The nearest is; the unspoilt Dahlet Qorrot, with its boathouses formed from natural caves, the dazzling white sands of Iz-Zewwieqa Bay, Hondoq ir-Rummien, is best for swimming and water sports, and the famous must-see red sands of Rambla.
Nearby Qala is the easternmost tip of the island, with prehistoric remains, inviting bays and beaches, a church on a hill with a view, and live music in the square every night in summer. Mgarr Harbour is a quaint traditional fishing village, where you can take a walk along the promenade, admire the yachts, and feast on the local cuisine. Take time to visit the impressive gothic Lourdes Chapel and the sculpture of the Three Graces, before enjoying a cocktail in the famous Gleneagles Bar.
The island of Gozo dates from neolithic times, since then it has been invaded and occupied by the Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, Sicilians, the French and finally the British. This melting pot of cultures can be seen in its history, architecture, and culture. Start your historical education with the Ggantija Temples, one of the world’s oldest free-standing structures, and now a UNESCO and World Heritage Site. Only seven kilometres from the house is the capital city of Ir-Rabat, known locally as Victoria since 1887, renamed in honour of Queen Victoria to celebrate her jubilee.
Walk the fortified Bronze Age citadel of the city, stop in Independence Square for a browse in the local market, and a coffee in a café, Seek solace in the seventeenth-century Baroque Grand Basilica of St George, before wandering the old streets full of shops, selling delicacies and souvenirs. The city is also known for its collection of museums, theatres, clubs, and opera houses. Find peace and tranquillity with a stroll around Villa Rundle Public Gardens, established by the British in 1910. Finally, don’t miss a day out to the nearby island of Comino, take the ferry from Mgaar harbour, swim, and snorkel in the beautiful blue lagoon, before exploring the island’s natural habitat, numerous churches, and dining by the seashore on freshly caught fish.
