Property Overview

Ideally situated in the quiet village of Kercem, just 1 km outside Victoria, both villas enjoys a superb view of Lunziata valley, just outside Victoria - the capital of Gozo. Lunziata is the only evergreen valley in Gozo, watered by three springs.

Xlendi beach is only 15 minutes on foot - just down the road.

The Tal-Harrub units are located in one building situated in a very quiet street in the village of Kerċem. Enjoying one common entrance, shown in the above photo, each unit is independent, separate and self-contained, built in the local rustic style, with wooden beams, but with all the normal amenities, each unit enjoys a private swimming pool, a sun-bathing area and a barbeque area.  The garage shown forms part of the Tal-Ħarrub complex and is not used when the units are rented.

Unit Description

The Tal-Harrub Unit 1 is situated on the first floor - just above the garage. This unit, which is

luxuriously furnished throughout, has more than 100m² of living area - the private swimming pool area is in addition to this area. On entering the front door one enters into a spacious hall shown in the adjacent photograph.	1
On the left hand side of this entrance hall one has the sitting area which is very spacious and furnished in rattan. The cable TV is multi-channel and has many channels in English. This sitting room leads off to the front balcony shown in the top photo and from which one can obtain a nice panorama of the Lunzjata valley including the 13th century Grandmaster's chapel and the recently restored Grandmaster's Lodge - both very much still in use today - and the surrounding area which is full of Roman tombs. Besides these historical remains, from the front
balcony one can also see the village of Fontana - on the right-hand side, a great view of greater Victoria including the towering Citadel and the cathedral on the left-hand side, as well as the surrounding countryside including two hills. In early June one can enjoy the petards and the colourful "murtali" that are fired in the nearby Fontana festa - as well as listen to the band marches from this balcony. In late July and mid-August, one can enjoy the Victoria festas' colourful "murtali".
On the right-hand side of the entrance hall, one finds a corridor leading to the rest of this sumptuous unit. On the left one finds the first bedroom with its king sized bed, wardrobe and commode (all from carved pine) and its adjoining ensuite bathroom.
On the right hand side is the main bathroom which, besides the usual bathroom amenities, also has a washing machine installed.
The corridor leads off to the very large living / dining / kitchen area, but before one gets to the kitchen one passes a small patio with its built in fountain. Opposite this fountain are other settees  which form a coffee / conversing area.
On the left hand side of this coffee / conversation nook is the second bathroom with a twin bed configuration. The furnishings consist of two 90cm wide beds, two bed-side cupboards with ashtrays and independent bed-lights, a huge wardrobe and a commode / dresser complete with a large mirror. Again the furniture is pine and is carved and hand-built.
The third bedroom is similar to the second bedroom - just described - but the beds are carved in a different way.
The living dining area is a very large room which overlooks the pool area. It consists of a large table - again in carved pine - and can easily sit six persons with great ease.
The kitchen is fully furnished - again in carved pine - and has all the normal amenities one normally finds in one's own kitchen. Naturally the kitchen sink has both cold and warm water.
The kitchen overlooks the enclosed, private swimming-pool area. This is a totally private pool which is not encroached on by guests renting the upper unit, nor from any neighbours. It is situated in a large open courtyard  and  consequently  is  very  well lighted with natural light and has an adequate sun-bathing area. The pool itself is large with a deep and shallow end and  is easily
accessed using the built in steps.  On the other side of the pool one finds the barbeque area, again complete with all the normal paraphernalia. The Tal-Harrub units are perfect as a place from which to discover Gozo. Situated as they are almost in the centre of the island, all areas of Gozo are all within 10 km. The islands of Malta and Comino are easily accessed via the frequent ferry.
