Reviews of A Holiday Home Duplex in a Gozo Village Square

Exceptional location

... the kitchen had no rubbish bin (?)

We went to Gozo for an extra week after Malta and stayed here for a week. After 4 star hotels in Malta this was easily the best one. Location was perfect and everything worked perfectly. Kitchen in the upper terrace included everything what can imagine. Want to feel rich and local and have the most beautiful home in the heart of Saint Gorg's square. Two balconies, own entry, and fabolous cafeteria down stairs. You have to try their cakes and breakfast aswell. This is the place to stay if you want to enjoy real Gozo, we will 100% sure come back next year. Main bus terminal is so close and big supermarket aswell. Next to it is most beautiful church we've ever been. Everything was clean and AC worked perfectly with the fan. So romantic place for couples and families. We cooked own dinners few times and have most romantic time on rooftop terrace. There's good restaurants also. There's no other place in Gozo like this you have to experience it!

That we have to leave this beautiful place

Stunning location, really nice apartment. Definitely not suitable for kids, or light sleepers. It has a beautiful terrace, almost that you can reach the Saint George cathedral. But the cathedral has a strong bell that rings on every 45 min and a whole hour as well. Till 2 am and from 5:45 am. The place is really nice and especially for the money you pay. I believe they can take more money for it if they clean it better and do better towards refreshing the place. It was not that clean, but the terrace view is stunning. Great for young couples, early risers, people who do not look for crystal cleanliness but for experience, book it 100%. Also note that the door is part of the restaurant Marche. The owner couldnt even tell us what and where the door is, so we are helping you and attaching a photo.

Clean it much better, renew some really old stuff and dust it off. The dust is there for 5+ years. The terrace is a gem. Water the plants more often and vacuum around them. Its a beautiful property, that it is sad the taken care for it is so little.

Loved the location. Fab roof terrace for relaxation & people watching. Flat is quirky with accomodation on different levels. Stairs are a bit precarious and hallway lighting could be better. Overall, great wee place.

Great location, lovely kitchen area

The 3 flights of spiral staircase were very difficult to navigate. We didn't use the property to its full potential because of accessibility from one area to another. We only had small luggage but found it difficult to carry it up and down the stairs, I have been holidaying in Gozo for 50 years & love the location, but I was very disappointed with the property description, not suitable for older or less mobile visitors.

the location was lovely, close to all amenities

the spiral staircase. even though it said there was an iron there wasn't, 2 ironing boards though. the constant ringing of the church bells 30 feet away was a bit distracting

Not much. The location was ok

Just about everything. It was very difficult to find the apartment as there was no number and the sign on the door was different from the information I was given. Only with the help from people in the restaurants did I find it. The property was dusty and smelt like sewage. There were 32 steps on the spiral staircase to the apartment. The kitchen was on the floor above. The information about the stairs was not mentioned and would have influenced my decision as to weather I would book the property. I sent a message to zzzing saying I could only stay overnight because it smelt. All communication stopped after I gave them that information. The following day I received a phone call from a representative of zzzing saying the apartment needed some maintenance done and they would need access to the property. I explained I moved out the previous day. I sent an email to zzzing suggesting I should be given some refund and I’m still waiting for a reply

Great central location with a superb view of the square, surrounded by shops and restaurants and everything you need to have a brilliant time and explore Gozo. We really enjoyed staying here and would thoroughly recommend it to anybody.

Bed is very hard as other guests have reported, we also thought the furniture on the terrace was quite uncomfortable. We also had to chase for check in instructions.

Great location in the square

Bells 24hrs a day 51 almost vertical steps impossible if you have limited access

A place with a lot of character in the heart of Victoria in Gozo.

The place was really let down by how poorly it had been cleaned. It needed dusting on all the surfaces. I appreciate it is a dusty place but it really could have been a lot cleaner. The church bells chime on the hour throughout the night. There are a lot of stairs and it is a narrow staircase so not for the mobility challenged. The bed is extremely firm. The shower drain needed clearing.

The location was amazing, right on the beautiful square with great restaurants to choose from, and in the vicinity of all the bus lines.

It didn’t resemble the pictures, it looked more dated. The bathroom is super small. The stairs are really narrow, so if you carry luggage, it will be a challenge. Keep in mind that the kitchen is separated from the room, it is on the last floor. The cleanliness was really poor it had a lot of dust everywhere. The whole apartment needs to be proper and thoroughly cleaned, starting from the bathroom and continuing through the entire apartment.

Location

A/C was not working. Cleaning was poor. Bathroom stinked. Towels with holes.Stairs to climb were suitable for fitted people. Kitchen and bedroom were on separate floor means u need to climb tower stairs. Terrace was great,but no umbrella while u have 31 degrees Celsius.Kitchen facilities were poor, dirty, not even wine glasses were found.Worth in general 5/10.

It was very difficult to locate the apartment door as the maps sent me down the wrong street and the door number isn't visible anywhere.

We liked the fantastic central location in the old square and the two terraces really helped make the trip.

There’s nothing we didn’t like, but small details like matching wine glasses would be good.

- Perfect location in the center of the island, near to many restaurants and coffee shops

- The mattress was too though - The bathroom was too small. Not suitable for big people

Brilliant location with wonderful balcony overlooking the church and square.

Quirky property, extremely well placed for food, drink and Gozitan patronage (if up early) before the tourists hit town. Fantastic view from balcony by kitchen. Access is via a tight spiral staircase, unsuitable for elderly or very young.

Bathroom typical for property of its age (maybe needs updating). The church bells (on the hour) begin calling worshipers to prayer at 5am. If you like early mornings that’s great.

Great location, fantastic roof terrace. Loved that there was all cleaning products needed. Clean towels and bedding as well

I didn’t receive the code to access the keys to the house so had to call the agency handling it, it was resolved quickly but still a minor inconvenience.

The location is superb - on beautiful St George's Square. The bustle of the square - in the day and night was lovely. You should expect there to be some noise with this (and the bells of the Basilica), but it didn't bother me at all! It's a great base to explore Victoria from and you have everything nearby - including the bus station if you want to use public transport to explore Gozo. The roof terrace is gorgeous - so lovely to enjoy breakfast or a glass of wine up there. Conveniently located - restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner on your doorstep, supermarkets and shops nearby. I had good sleep whilst I was there - the bed was comfortable and there was a lovely warm blanket if it was a bit chilly at night. It was a lovely place to stay.

There was a problem accessing the property when the key code I had been given was wrong. However, the very lovely lady from Zzzing helped to get it all sorted out. The spiral stairs are a bit narrow, but as long as you go gently and take care when you ascend or descend them, it is not such a problem. In a building of the age that it is, it is important to appreciate that space is at a premium so the stairs fit the space that they can. I had 2 pieces of luggage and just took them up one at a time as it felt easier to do so than trying to cart everything up in one go!

Loved the quirky layout. It was better than expected. Loved the extra warm blanket.

Had earplugs with us and found a drawer full at the property. Winter season so square below not too busy nor noisy, but the bell on the the church ring alot! Expect it as the setting is fab.

The location is very cool, straight in the middle of the old town of Victoria. The location and the balconies are what makes the place nice.

The room and the kitchen are accessible with steep and narrow stairs which is hard to manage with luggage or small children. The interior is old and worn off and the room is quite cold in winter.

The position was fantastic , right in the heart of victoria

Staircase took some getting used to.
