10/10 Exceptional

We had a lovely 6 days at the Old Mill, the hosts were kind and friendly, full of useful local knowledge.
We did hire a car which afforded us some freedom, it is a little isolated, but there is a bus stop opposite and Bolt operates.
My daughter and I were lucky to have the room with a large balcony over looking farm land and to the sea. We sat there at night too, listening to the silence, or fireworks or star gazing. Air conditioning was efficient and very welcome.
Breakfast was what ever we wanted, fresh and lovely.
The pool is small but refreshing and we only saw the other guests in passing.
We hired a small boat and our host Joachim skippered it around some of Gozo, the Blue lagoon and other swimming snorkelling sights. Despite the bumpy ride the sea was incredible and what a fabulous opportunity for us to see and swim in areas that we would not have known about or perhaps been confident enough to drive to.
Gozo is a community of working locals so dont expect this to be a resort with the Duke of York or Gary Liniker bar.
There is a resort, Malafonsa with most of what you would expect, but smaller, 15 mins walk or 5 mins drive away. Fab restaurant at the very end on the left, just before the coast turns the corner. Victoria is a 10 min drive with supermarket, restaurants and the Citadel. Ramla beach is sandy but less rocks into the sea on the right; with cafe, icecream van, beach stuff, parking, beds, umbrellas.....
GGantiga is worth an hour or so.
