ALTO Beyond

We visited this property for a weekend in October. From the moment we made the reservation, Claire stayed in touch with us to better understand how she could help and make our stay as pleasant as possible. Once we arrived, we realized that our expectations were exceeded by the elegant and tastefully decorated villa, as well as the host’s hospitality and sense of humor. The super comfortable bed and the sunny terrace equipped with sun loungers are just two of the things that made our stay so relaxing. The breakfast was delicious and generous, served in the beautiful garden at the back of the house. Claire and her team went above and beyond to help us unwind. The attention to detail, the elegant style, and the way we were genuinely pampered pleasantly surprised us in every way. I also booked a deep tissue massage with Catherine, and her professionalism, along with the stories she's gathered from around the world, made the experience even more relaxing. We also enjoyed the company of Peanut, Smudge, and Bingo, the host’s three adorable Beagle dogs. Claire, Catherine, Alvin and the whole team, thank you for a wonderful weekend!

Nothing. Everything was amazing.

Claire è stata la migliore padrona di casa che potessimo desiderare: accogliente, premurosa e incredibilmente appassionata della sua isola. Le chiacchierate con lei sono state un valore aggiunto impagabile, grazie alla sua profonda conoscenza della zona, della storia e dell’arte locali. Ci ha consigliato i posti più autentici e affascinanti, accompagnandoci anche personalmente e raccontandoci aneddoti e curiosità che nessuna guida turistica potrebbe offrire. Lo staff è stato semplicemente impeccabile, in particolare Alvin, sempre sorridente, disponibile e attento a ogni dettaglio. La posizione è eccellente, a due passi dai principali punti di interesse di Xagħra e vicinissima ai migliori ristoranti della zona. I servizi offerti e la colazione sono di altissima qualità, l’ambiente è curato nei minimi particolari e il personale è estremamente preparato, gentile e sempre pronto ad aiutare Un soggiorno davvero indimenticabile, sotto ogni punto di vista. Tutto eccellente, torneremo sicuramente!

Non ho trovato nessuno lato negativo

Amazing breakfast presentation, attention to detail surpasses everything else I’ve experienced on my travels.

Absolutely nothing 😊.

The breakfast was exceptional and served privately in a typical Gozitan courtyard.

A wonderful place to relax. Extraordinary attention to detail that ensured we were extremely comfortable. Lovely and very conscientious staff meant we wanted for nothing. Breakfast was delicious. Claire is a top notch host.

Stylish decor, great hospitality from Claire and her team who are going above and beyond, very quiet and relaxing, amazing breakfast, cute and calm dogs

Nothing

Friendly and welcoming environment. The light and setting was very calming and we felt comfortable from the time we arrived to when we left. Breakfast was a daily feast…

Simply fabulous! Behind an unassuming door in the charming town of Xaghra is an oasis of tranquility - run meticulously by the wonderfully helpful Claire (quintessentially English with a touch of quirkiness that makes the world a better place!) and her amazing staff, we enjoyed the most wonderful short break in early March - which, btw, is when the colours of Gozo are at their best. Though English, Claire grew up in Gozo and what she doesn’t know about local sights and scenes isn’t worth knowing - and from the moment we booked, Claire was in touch to understand our ambitions for the weekend and to make our stay as special as possible. The accommodation itself is wonderful - clean, comfortable and beautifully furnished - the breakfasts are awesome and the large, communal table was great fun - and underpinning it all is Claire’s dedicated team who go out of their way to make one’s stay as stress-free as possible; the little touches, from an arrival cocktail to afternoon sandwiches and local recommendations, really elevate this venue far beyond a mere B&B; boutique tranquility zone would be a far better description! Claire - please pass our thanks to your whole team - we will be back! x
