Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to rent a farmhouse in Malta?

Farmhouses in Malta and Gozo typically rent for €1,500–4,000+/month depending on location, size, condition and whether the property includes a pool. Gozo farmhouses are generally more affordable than those in rural Malta.

Farmhouse vs house of character — what's the difference?

Farmhouses are rural, detached properties with agricultural heritage, courtyards and surrounding land, located outside villages. Houses of character are historic townhouses within village cores, featuring wooden balconies and urban architectural details. Farmhouses offer more land and privacy; houses of character offer village living.

Are Maltese farmhouses converted?

Most farmhouses available for rent today are converted. Original working farms have been transformed into residences with modern amenities – updated kitchens, bathrooms, air conditioning and often swimming pools – while preserving historic stonework, arches and character.

Where are most farmhouses in Malta?

Gozo has the highest concentration of farmhouses, especially in Gharb, San Lawrenz and Xaghra. In Malta, rural areas like Mgarr, Dingli and Siggiewi have the most farmhouse properties available.

Do farmhouses have pools?

Many converted farmhouses now include swimming pools, typically built within the courtyard or surrounding land. Pools are a modern addition – traditional farmhouses had underground cisterns for water storage instead.

What Is a Farmhouse in Malta?

A farmhouse (razzett) is Malta's traditional rural dwelling, built around a central courtyard and historically used as a working farm.

Most farmhouses available today have been converted into spacious residences while preserving their historic character.
