The rains were torrential when we arrived, around dinnertime, and the restaurants all closed. Anna and Sonia were extremely gracious, and enlisted their mother to bring us homemade soup and bread. In retrospect, we would have been better off at a standard hotel, since we couldn't go anywhere, there was no tv in our room, and the lighting was poor,... More

This has to be one of the best guest houses we have stayed in. The rooms are spacious, attractively furnished and spotless. The shower is wonderful. The sisters are completely accomodating, helping with phone calls, wifi connections - nothing was too much trouble. The lounge, patio and dining area are all characterful - it is great to have so much... More

My husband had stayed solo earlier in October and had come back full of praise for the Maria Giovanna, so when I went on my own for a week to do some diving there did not seem to be any real competition for a place to stay. The Maria Giovanna was all he said and more. It is a family... More

we have just returned from a great holiday in Gozo. The family that run the guest house were very helpful and friendly. The place is like a traditional Gozitan home and is so refreshingly different from the mass tourism hotels across the water in Malta. The breakfasts are great and are cooked individually according to each guest's likes. There are... More

We stayed at this hotel in October - and had no idea the breakfasts would have been so wonderful. Home-baked cakes and fantastic cooked breakfasts by pastry chefs who would be at home in far more fancy places! The spotless bathrooms, and showers with great water pressure (rare for Malta) - comfortable bed and many personal touches make this bed... More

Reading other review, I think everyone who stays there must feel as welcome as we felt. I was touched that when we told them my husband was lactose-intolerant, Sonia made a special cake he could enjoy for the dinner we joined. We stayed there 5 nights. My husband and I shared a room, and my mother in law in another.... More

I had not only read the reports but had received quite a number of personal recommendations from people on Gozo that the Maria Giovanna was undoubtedly the place to stay. When you have so many good reports saying the same things you reach the stage where you are sure that there will be disappointment when you actually stay there. With... More

If you are planning a trip to Gozo look no further than the Maria Giovanna Guest House - you will not be disappointed. All members of the family make you feel very welcome. The accommodation is meticulous - we had a large room with a seaview balcony. What a good breakfast including scrumptious cakes. Do try an evening meal -... More

as a PDF (Parisian Difficult French) I hate travelling and dislike hotels, but the week I spent with my English husband in Gozo was the best holidays I ever had (I'm 57 !), thanks to Maria, Joseph, Anna and Sonia (my "chouchou"), merci beaucoup... florence More
