Overview

Set just off the beach, Maria Giovanna is in Marsalforn Bay on the laidback island of Gozo. This family-run guest house offers elegantly decorated rooms with air conditioning and a balcony. Run by 2 sisters, Maria Giovanna Guest House takes its name from their mother and grandmother who managed the property before them. One of the sisters is a pastry chef and prepares homemade cakes for breakfast each morning. Rooms feature elegant furniture and wrought iron beds. Each one has a private bathroom with shower, hairdryer and toiletries. Some have a view of the Mediterranean Sea. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property and there is an internet point in the lobby. Marsalforn is the island's most popular tourist resort, with plenty of restaurants, bars and beaches. Gozo Ferry Terminal for ferries to Malta is 10 minutes' drive away.

I had a fantastic stay at this guesthouse. The location is perfect, just 20 meters from the beach. The staff were incredibly welcoming, kind, and always ready to help. The house was beautiful and exceptionally clean, and the breakfast was absolutely delicious with a great selection of options. Overall, a five-star experience. I highly recommend this guesthouse and would happily stay here again!

Sonia is very friendly and helpful. She gives good tips and she treats you like family. Breakfast was really home made and delicious! It is right on the bus stop to the harbour and beach and restaurants around the corner. Walkable to everywhere.

I had an excellent stay. First of all, the location was excellent. I didn't fully comprehend how close everything was to the property before actually reaching Gozo. Everything you need (restaurants, shops, the bus stop, the seafront, dive schools) are a < 5 minute walk away. The room was impeccably clean and well furnished. The single bed was very large (more like a 3/4) and the pillows and mattress were very comfortable. The cookies in the room on check in were such a nice touch! The breakfast was incredible, with fresh fruit, a hot cooked egg option everyday, cheeses, meats, and homemade cakes and jams. My only regret is that I couldn't eat more! The hosts are warm and welcoming, and truly make you feel at home. This place really lives up to all its brilliant reviews! I'll definitely be back.

The rooms were very nicely decorated and clean. It is located in the center of the little village by the sea. Sonia was very kind, thoughtful and caring with us. The breakfast was delicious, with fresh fruit salad, yogurt, home made cakes, muffins, fresh cheese, fresh orange juice, home made marmalades an jams: everything good and fresh you can imagine! I would strongly recommend it.

Lovely room, delicious breakfast and perfect host!

We actually stayed at Casa Gemelli in Victoria due to damage at the guest house in Marsalforn. My rating is therefore of Casa Gemelli. Sonia was welcoming and provided lots of helpful advice about what to see and do on Gozo. The room was very clean and nicely decorated. The breakfast was unbelievable generous and delicious and included fruit, homemade bread and baked goods plus scrambled eggs with all the trimmings. Sonia was the perfect host and we really enjoyed our stay.

Fabulous!

Sonia was charming and so helpful, finding ferry and bus times and giving information on best places to go. The breakfast was amongst the best I have had in any hotel anywhere. Home made yoghurt, bread and jam; freshly fruit salad and freshly squeezed juice. And a full cooked on top! And delicious little homemade cakes to takeaway (because we were so full!) Outstanding.
