Hot of the press – Former Wimbledon champion, Pat Cash, recently holidayed on the lovely island of Gozo in one of our exclusive Gozo holiday villas.

He’s still clearly the passionate hard working individual we all love and remember as he accepted the opportunity to hold a tennis clinic at the Marsa Sports Club for young Maltese tennis players.

If you’re interested to hear how his trip went, you’ll have to pick up a copy of Condé Nast Traveller’s bumper January issue, due out in December, just in time for the peak holiday booking season.

Croatia is a relatively new country to the mainstream tourist map due to the outbreak of the Balkans war almost two decades ago. It’s an absolutely stunning location rich with culture, history, attractions and pleasant people.

We have a number of luxury villas for rental in the area of Istria (click here to see them), and have listed our top three tourist attractions below:

One thing is for sure when you go to Gozo, you’ll never be bored!

Forming part of the trio of Maltese islands (second largest after Malta) and situated right in the heart of the Mediterranean, Gozo is just 14kms long and 7kms wide so you can see and experience a lot on the Island. It’s sleepy, untouched and an enchanting environment if you are looking for relaxation.

You get to Gozo by flying into Malta and then getting the ferry (takes around half an hour) to Gozo.

We’ve been there a couple of times (team here at Vintage) and wanted to share with you our top 8 things to do and see on Gozo (in no particular order).

This is a rock formation situated near Dwejra Lake that is named after the colour of the sea around it.

If you do make it to the top you’ll not be disappointed by the views.You can always hop in a boat and travel through it if heights are not your thing.
