INTRODUCING TFIEFA - By Jules
"This light-filled property is in the tiny village of Ghasri.
The instant we walked into this mini paradise, a pretty picture was right in front of us. A timeless backdrop of countryside gave us a feeling of peace and tranquillity. A lovely private and spacious pool terrace offer hours of fun and relaxation.
This pretty scene fills the living space, framed by three large arched terrace doors. With its semi rustic finish, this Gozo Villa combines the charm of honey coloured limestone with top class contemporary furnishings.
You have the excellent benefit of views on three levels. From the pool terrace, a balcony on the first floor and a roof terrace, you can soak up panoramic views of Gozo. It all contributes to this Gozo holiday home’s peaceful atmosphere and rural feel.
It’s perfect for winter too, with an inbuilt stone fireplace that turns the farmhouse into a cosy escape”. Jules
