Nestled in the quiet village of Ghasri with panoramic valley views, but no more than a 5 minute drive to the capital, Victoria, Dar tal-Kaptan offers a warm, sensual and idyllic sanctuary to re-generate and re-invent yourself.
Inhabiting a 350 year old farmhouse with unique architectural features, and converted to a high standard residence offering comfort, charm and relaxation, Dar tal-Kaptan features four themed guest suites, all with their own bathroom, private lounge area and outdoor terraces with fantastic views. Each exquisitely decorated suite has a small fridge, tea and coffee making facilities, hairdryer, air-conditioning and fans, wi-fi access, complimentary toiletries, towels and fresh fruit.
This home exudes warmth and sensuality with its eclectic collection of erotic art, sculptures, paintings and books. A full buffet breakfast is included in your room rate.
Your hosts live in the house too, and so do two friendly small dogs. We are both qualified masseurs. Peter is a doctor by profession and Warren teaches English as a foreign language.

About the Area
Ghasri is a sleepy, peaceful, rural village located in the north-west of Gozo. The nucleus of the village radiates outwards around the main Church and piazza. Although it is the smallest village in the Maltese Islands with the least number of inhabitants, Ghasri has a mini-market, a police station, and its own local council. The closest restaurants are just a 5 minute drive away in nearby Gharb or Victoria. Dar tal-Kaptan enjoys panoramic country views from all rooms and a sea-view from the terrace of one of our bedrooms. A tranquil cove and pebble beach can be found at the end of a 20 minute scenic walk from our front door whilst the best sunset on the Island is to be experienced at the foot of Gozo's only lighthouse situated just a 10 minute walk away.
It is advisable to hire a car on Gozo. We can arrange this for you.
There is an hourly local public-bus service to Ghasri which will drop you off three minutes walk away from the guesthouse.
Another way to sightsee is by means of an efficient hop-on/off bus service that drops visitors off at various points of interest, dotted around the Island.
Transport to or from the ferry may booked with us at a discounted fee ( less than a taxi fare)

it.
