A Quiet and Safe Place

Everything was found as expected - apartment was clean and welcoming. Check-in was assisted by Frances who was courteous and helpful. Most importantly I felt safe in my surroundings.

Beautiful house and very quiet location

The house was impeccably clean, well maintained and very spacious.
The internet suffered a bit on the ground floor as did mobile phone reception. Also we noticed that the tv was not a smart tv and would have liked to be able to have Netflix installed as the tv channels were quite limited.
Overall a great experience and would have loved to use the beautifully clean pool had the weather permitted. We will be looking to booking again for the summer!

Candid opinion

Our stay there was relaxing and fun.
I just couldn’t fathom why the upstairs rooms needed coins of 1 or 2 euros before the heat regulator of the AC would work.

I think going forward such communications should be indicated in the house rules so occupants are informed and prepared adequately.

Hello Madeleine,

Thank you for your response. It's important to note that the use of the air-conditioning with a pay-as-you-go system is clearly outlined in our property description, both before and after the booking process.

Best regards,

Donald for Baron Holiday Homes

The best villa we have ever been in

For over twenty years we have been away in Villas around the world and this is the best we have ever been. Coming in the winter ie Christmas to ccld to swim out side but with having the pool inside we were swimming most of the time. All the house is beautiful with a great look out over sea and village. The only thing we mist was that we always go away for Christmas and this was the only one that did not have a Christmas tree in it.

Nice house but needs attention

The Blue House is in a very good location with nice views, and excellent communication with the representative for smooth checking in. Also there is a very good wifi coverage.
Over it is clean, but unfortunately needs some attention, as the general ambiance looks cold and tired and needs renovation.
Surely it's not ideal to sleep 8 as there are not enough chairs and seating in the living room.
The hot water runs out, AC`s don't seem to be very effective, spring mattresses are not very comfortable and toilet doors do not lock for privacy.
By far Baron can offer better alternative accommodation.

Nice remote house ... for the summer.

The house in itself was nice and tidy.
Location is remote but easy to find.
It has all the basics for a rented home holidays and special mention for the good internet connection everywhere.

On the downside : there was an awful lot of mozzies, flies and ants everywhere.
There were works close to the home everyday starting at 7:00 pm.
Pool was cold (but that was expected, it is not heated).
And there was nothing of the usual "leftovers" like Salt, pepper,... we had to buy everything and leave a lot when we left.
Sun exposure is limited to the morning on the pool side and roof was not accessible leaving no other choice than leave the house on the afternoon to get some sun and get away from flies and mozzies.
Good : BBQ, internet, pool, room size, comfort, pods for washing machine and dishwasher
To improve : towels we can take to the beach, condiments when we arrive even if it is leftover, mosquito net for windows and/or doors so we can leave doors opened at night. Pool heater with solar panels.

Very nice house

Very nice house, very well furnished, perfect for my family.
We've been coming around walking and using buses - it was not ideal but fine.
The pool is not big, but it was just what our kids needed to play and refresh themselves.
The only "bad" surprise was the strong goat smell during evenings.

Living The Dream

Once again, our extended family and friends have really enjoyed staying with Baron Homes in The Dream. The property is well appointed and the staff are superb. I would strongly recommend booking a Baron Homes property if you intend to stay on Gozo.
