If you want to feel the heart of the people of Gozo, stay here. Sonia and her father Joe are such beautiful people. The world needs more people like them. The accommodation and room was super clean. In the perfect location, just minutes from the sea, you can hear the waves crashing from your bedroom window. Breakfast was superb - Sonia shares her homemade jams, which are delicious, different kinds of eggs are on offer each morning, and there's freshly baked cakes too. Thank you for the warm hospitality, the goodbye hugs, I highly recommend it and will return again someday.
Nothing. Everything was wonderful.

Right from booking the accommodation the approach was of a high standard. The accommodation contacted me about the possibility of arranging a transfer from the airport to the accommodation, arranged an excellent price - better than through Bolt. They will make you breakfast every day (different every day) and you also have the option to make your own breakfast. You feel at home in the accommodation. The family approach is amazing. Whatever the problem is (there was none)they will be happy to help you right away. The location of the accommodation is top. The accommodation is right on the promenade (you are on the promenade in 30 seconds) and a few meters from the beach (you are there in 3 minutes). Modern accommodation facilities, air conditioning, daily cleaning of the room...Priste TOP. I recommend it as much as possible. There is nothing to fault. Communication really amazing. And considering the price, I know I may be sawing a branch out from under me, but I wasn't expecting that kind of service for that price. Such services are not even available in some **** hotels. The price is excellent. I know I'm repeating myself, but the "family hearth" feeling was great.
I liked everything and on my next visit to Gozo it is my only choice.

EVERYTHING 1. It is a small family-owned hotel and it gives you the feeling of staying in a family house. The father of the owner, Mr. Giuseppe was like a good spirit always there and smiling and ready to help, even with his little english :) it was so nice. 2. The owner is very welcoming, speaks very good English and ir ready to help you out with everything. It is impeccably clean and the rooms are furnished with great style and taste. 3. There is a lift so it is most convenient with luggage or after a longer hike. 4. The breakfast was plenty and fresh. The eggs or omelet’s were made on the spot with chosen ingredients. The cakes baked by the owner on the eve of each day were a crowning moments to your coffee. One could also ask for a good espresso or double from the machine. 5. It was everything essential in the room and bathroom. All the linen and towels were impeccably clean and good quality. 6. The city itself is cosy, with a very nice promenade and a variety of very good restaurants. It is not crowded, but also dos not feel deserted even at the end of the season. I would definitely choose Marsalforn over the rest of places at this time of year again. OVERALL - I WOULD DEFINITELY CHOOSE THE SAME PLACE TO STAY SECOND TIME HERE
Small recommendations: 1. A mini fridge would be a nice touch for those staying in the B&B longer periods of time. Like me. 2. It would be nice to have basic mini toiletries in the room, like mini soap and alike. 3. Mosquito net on the window or balcony would make the stay perfect on the season then there is mosquitos season on Gozo.

This place is magnetic, not only because of good location, beautiful and vintage interior, perfect breakfast (omg, this banana bread, avocado toast...it was sooo goood), but the first reason, why this place is calling you to come back is people. From the moment you're entering you can feel, that here the owners are happy for you and will take care of you. Sonia is charmful, she has a real passion for this job. Even the way she speaks with you about breakfast time and rules makes you feel loved. Top service level, our best choice for this trip was to stay in this wonderful place.
The only bad thing was to stay just for 2 days. Next time we'll come at least for a week.

Everything was outstanding at this beautiful B&B in the centre of Marsalforn. It's right on top of the main promenade, with lively bars, restaurants, beach and dive centres, but quiet at night with modern, well-maintained facilities in a traditional setting. The breakfast is great, with a good local continental selection and a nicely cooked daily special. It's also very close to the bus stop & public car park, which makes travelling around the island very convenient.
nothing at all!

This is one special place to stay and it's up there with the best, in my opinion. Great family atmosphere, excellent hospitality and breakfast to die for. Love the salmon and scrambled egg option. Sonia is a gem and Joe and all the staff couldn't do enough for you. Comfortable room, fantastic en suite, ice cool air conditioning everthing works perfectly. So peaceful and so relaxing. I will definitely be back. Highly recommended. Thanks guys guys for a super stay xx

This is the second time we stayed at Maria Giovanna Guest House, absolutely charming and well-located for swimming at Marsalforn beach very close by. Modern bathroom with high pressure water both hot and cold. Breakfast was lovely and made to order just as we wished, yummy! We have stayed at other hotels in Marsalforn earlier but after discovering this guest house, we would not consider anywhere else. Recommended!
We would like to have stayed longer. Next time .....

Our stay in Malsalforn in Maria Giovanna guesthouse was fantastic! The room and facilities were great, breakfast was amazing and the staff were really the best! Maria, Sonia and Joe were always so friendly and helpful. We were in the area diving and helped us storing our equipment on the roof top where there was facilities for rinsing our gear and hanging it up overnight in a safe place. Really couldn't recommend this place highly enough and we will most definitely be back and wouldn't stay anywhere else if we ever get back to Gozo.
The place was fantastic, nothing negative to say whatsoever.

The owners were really friendly and communicative, you could see that this was more than a job for them. The breakfast was tasty - you could choose from various cold and cooked options. The surroundings is exceptional. The place is easily accessible also by public transport.
We visited in March, which is a colder month. When we had spent all day outside and came back, it took a while to heat up the room. However, this could be an advantage in summer months.

Generally very comfortable - good size room, very clean, good bathroom with good shower, small balcony, aircon... We didn't miss anything. The only negative was mosquitoes, but that is not something you can really control. The breakfast was delicious with nearly everything homemade (baked goods and jams) and fully cooked breakfast to order. The hosts were very helpful and friendly and made us feel welcome.
Only the one or two mosquitoes in the room that we couldn't catch! But they are part of life.
