Perfect location in a great city on a beautiful island
Positive: The location and the quirky staircase
Negative: The bed could have been a bit more comfy
·Marion·September 2026
Wonderful, would come again and stay longer.
Positive: Beautiful and quiet place, lovely building and decor, excellent location.
Negative: Nothing not to like. One reading light was not working and we couldn’t find the light switch for the terrace.

Positive: It was a old conversion and was beautiful.
Negative: The stairwell to the top bedroom with balcony was very small and narrow. Sadly the air-conditioning could do with a update as very little cooling in the room

Absolutely lovely! Tucked away in a quiet alley, this centrally located property felt like stepping back in time. Despite being right in the heart of Gozo and steps away from the busy town square of Victoria and the Citadella, our stay was peaceful and pleasant. You’d never know you’re a short walk from the hustle and bustle. Centrally located, reasonably priced, and incredibly charming with communicative hosts. Highly recommend!

Mixed feelings.
Positive: The building and the streets around it are absolutely gorgeous! Very traditional and nicely renovated. The apartment was small but the terrance was spacious and comfortable. The Citadel is a short walking distance from the apartment as are public transportation and shopping areas. Keep in mind that some areas are narrow and quite steep to walk.
Negative: The winding stairs were extremely narrow, not suitable for any bags larger than carry on luggage. I had to unpack our suitcases at the landing and take our stuff up one by one.
The wifi stopped working. I found out the plug was too loose. The host was friendly, but they couldn't solve the problem, the replacement plug they brought didn't work either, and the problem solving suggestions also didn't help. We ended up using our own adapter. If it wasn't for our own adapter we would have been without wifi for most of our stay...
The kitchen equipment is functional but old.
There are several churches in the vicinity of the apartment that all ring every 15 minutes. The windows are traditional so they don't isolate very well. If you sleep lightly it is not recommended.
Good to know
