The Island of Gozo region

Gozo is the second largest island of the Maltese Archipelago. The climate consists of warm summers and mild winters and this makes it an ideal holiday destination at any time of the year. Gozo has a varied geology with typical flat-topped hills.

The population of this island is over 31000 people which amounts to one-twelfth of the overall population of Malta, with Gozo covering approximately one-third of the area of mainland Malta. This means that the island of Gozo is not overpopulated, and therefore greener and quite more peaceful.

Places of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Victoria and its attractions
- the Dwejra bay area including the Azure window, inland sea, fungus rock, and the Blue Hole (voted one of Europe's top 10 diving sites)
- Ta' Pinu Basilica
- Ramla Bay and Calypso Cave
- Ggantija temples: a megalithic temple complex erected during the Copper Age (c. 3,600-2,500 B.C.)
- Ta'Cenc: one of the few remaining tracts of open countryside left in the Maltese Islands. An area of outstanding scenic beauty, it is also a vital habitat for dwindling communities of rare plants and animals.
-several wonderful bays for swimming are found around the island.

Considering that Gozo has an area of 67 square kms with a length of 14 kms and width of 7 kms, all areas of Gozo are within easy walking /driving distance from it's centre-Victoria.

The Victoria, Gozo area

This apartment is a short walk to the centre of the town of Victoria which is the capital city of Gozo. Since Victoria is in the centre of the island, the location of the apartment is an ideal base to explore the surrounding island. Every beach, village or attraction is only a short drive away and due to the small size of the island, everywhere can be reached on foot for those who prefer walking. The main bus station is only a short walk up the road.


VICTORIA includes both the Citadel, the ancient city of the Island, as well as Rabat, the old suburb of the Citadel. There are many places of historical and cultural interest in Victoria and a visit to the Citadel is considered a must. From these fortifications one can enjoy a superb view of the whole Island. Within the Citadel there is the beautiful St. Mary's Cathedral and the Law Courts, as well as the Cathedral Museum, the Gozo Museum of Archaeology, the Folklore Museum, the Citadel Armoury, the Folklore Museum, the Old Prison, and the Natural Science Museum.

In Victoria there is an open market in Independence square that shares the square with several open air cafes, as well as the magnificent St.George's Basilica and other churches. A web of narrow streets around St. George's Basilica are the oldest in town and are worth a walk around. There are also all amenities in Victoria including the bus station, shops, restaurants, banks and grocery stores.

There are two major feasts in the centre of Victoria which are the feast of St. George in July and the week long celebrations of the feast of Assumption of the Virgin Mary, with the main day of festivities being on the 15th of August. These feasts are characterised by church functions, band marches in the streets, horse racing, decorations, lights and wonderful fireworks displays.

The apartment is also a 25 minute walk or 5 minute drive to MARSALFORN, which is the most popular summer resort on the Island. Here there are many restaurants that cater to any taste as well as a sandy and pebbly beach and rocky platforms to swim from. From here one can also take a boat cruise around Gozo or to Comino island. There are also a diving school offering a variety of diving destinations.

“A brilliant find in a fantastic location with lovely owners” This apartment is a great place to stay in the centre of Victoria. We were impressed by the high standard of cleanliness and the settling in groceries supplied by the owners. The owners live next door so it was really handy having them around to advise on day trips and things to do. Both Sam and Doris (the owners) looked after us very well and even provided us with a lift to various restaurants! They do go above and beyond what you would expect and truly made our stay in Victoria special. The three of us paid 315 euros in total for a week so a bargain as well as a great place to stay.

“Great Apartment, perfect service, ideal for exploring all of Gozo” We could not have asked for better hosts than Dolores and Sam. From the moment we were met by Sam at the ferry in Mgarr to the moment we said goodbye at the same place a few days later, Sam could not have given better service. He is full of useful information, stories and tips! The apartment was lovely, perfect for a couple and with great kitchen facilities so good for those keen to cook the lovely produce found in Gozo. A real gem, cosy, off the beaten track and great value for money.

“A Little Gem” We warmly recommend this apartment to a couple who are seeking an immaculate, comfortable and well equipped holiday flat in a quiet street with a delightful rural view. Sam and Doris could not have been kinder or more welcoming. We especially appreciated being met at the ferry by Sam, and the thoughtful supply of settling-in groceries selected by Doris. We would not hesitate to recommend this apartment, and look forward to returning ourselves.
