Gozo, Malta

We are delighted to present this delightful six-bedroom farmhouse, tucked away in a peaceful alley in the village of Sannat. Perfectly located within walking distance of restaurants, bars, and local supermarkets, and only a short stroll to the dramatic Sanap cliffs, the property combines the tranquillity of a traditional home with the convenience of nearby village amenities.

The entrance opens into a private courtyard filled with greenery and potted plants, where the gentle sound of a Moroccan-style fountain sets a relaxing tone. Several external staircases lead to the two wings of the house, which were once separate farmhouses but have since been re-integrated into a single family home, restoring its historic character. The courtyard is a perfect space to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening drink in peaceful surroundings.

Accessed from the Courtyard, the smaller wing begins with a cosy living room, its hand-cut stone walls, stone arches, and a pellet fireplace creating charm, and warmth for all rooms. This leads to a spacious double bedroom with high stone ceilings, wooden beams, and a traditional tiled floor, complemented by a modern ensuite bathroom. An external traditional stone staircase rises to a large, light-filled bedroom currently used as an art studio, with high ceilings, stone slab floors, and a 20 square meter private terrace. An adjoining room at this level offers potential for conversion into a small shower room.

The main house is accessed from the courtyard through a rustic kitchen, full of character with its stone arches, patterned tiles, and original stone shelving. From here, one steps into the magnificent mill room, now the principal living space, where thick stone arches recall its history as a flour mill. With its naturally cool thick walls, this room is comfortable year-round and enhanced by a wood-burning stove, while a guest cloakroom is conveniently placed nearby. The mill room opens to a small 30 square meter private garden, adding yet another green retreat.

Upstairs, the accommodation continues with a spacious double or twin bedroom, a further double bedroom with traditional kileb and xorok ceilings, a feature which indicates the true age of this property, and which features an unusually long set of high level stone shelving. Opposite this room is a family bathroom. Across a charming terrace is the master bedroom with high beamed ceilings, stone floors, and its own ensuite. A further internal stone staircase ascends to a final bedroom, currently arranged as a bright office with its own terrace. At roof level, a lush 40 square meter roof garden creates a private oasis, perfect for sunbathing or just reading a book, with a wooden gazebo providing shade for outdoor dining and space to enjoy sunset drinks while taking in direct views of the Citadel at the heart of the island.

This is a lovely period property abundant with features, and character throughout. The inclusion of Photovoltaic Panels, a Heat pump, and Reverse Osmosis, make it an eco-friendly property. It would make a great family home, but could also be used as two separate letting spaces, or one to enjoy and one to let out, or also for multi-generational living.

SANNAT

Sannat is a charming and welcoming village on Gozo’s southern coast, best known for its peaceful atmosphere, traditional stone houses, and proximity to some of the island’s most spectacular natural scenery. Just a short drive from Victoria, Sannat offers the ideal balance of tranquillity and accessibility.

At the heart of the village, the main square is lively and welcoming, with an abundance of restaurants and bars, perfect for relaxed evenings or casual get-togethers. Everyday essentials are close at hand too, with a pharmacy and bank conveniently located in the same square.

A highlight nearby is Mgarr ix-Xini, a sheltered bay surrounded by dramatic cliffs. This picturesque inlet is one of Gozo’s most popular swimming and diving spots, thanks to its clear waters and unspoiled setting. The bay is also home to a renowned seaside restaurant, where visitors can enjoy freshly caught fish and Mediterranean dishes right at the water’s edge — a favourite for both locals and visitors.

For nature lovers, Sannat borders the magnificent Ta’ en cliffs, offering some of the island’s most breathtaking coastal walks. Here, you can enjoy panoramic views over the Mediterranean and a landscape rich in flora, fauna, and history.

With its relaxed pace of life, authentic Gozitan character, and easy access to both village amenities and stunning coastline, Sannat is a desirable location for a holiday retreat or year-round home.
