Victoria Penthouse

We rented this apartment for 6 nights, over the week between Christmas and New Year's. The location, in the center of Victoria, is fantastic. Even though in the middle of a pedestrian square, free public parking is only a 5 minute walk. This was important for us as we had a rental car. The apartment sleeps 4, with a double bed and fold-out futon. The apartment is 2 stories, with the bedroom on the 3rd floor of the building, and the kitchen and adjacent roof terrace are 1 floor up. The kitchen is well-stocked (with kitchen tools), and there are local food markets and green grocers only minutes away. We made use of that for dinner "at home" 2 out of the 6 nights, though the apartment is a short walk to many good dining options in Victoria. Ted the landlord is extremely attentive and helpful, and very easy to be in contact with. Also, the location of Victoria on the island of Gozo, almost dead center, means everything to see and do on the island is less than a 30 minute drive. There are also 2 Hop On-Hop Off bus companies, plenty of taxis and public buses, if you choose to go without a rental car.

Unfortunately, it just so happened we were there in what was Malta's worst weather in almost 100 years, so we were unable to utilize the rooftop terrace as much as we would have liked!

The single caveat is that the only way upstairs is via a narrow spiral staircase, which is a challenge with luggage. However, Ted is more than happy help with moving bags up and down the stairs, and the view from up top is quite nice, and worth the climb for sure.

We would definitely stay here again, but maybe a different time of year, such as spring or autumn!

We stayed in this apartment for one week in April. First off, let me say that Ted, the landlord is very helpful and attentive, making sure you have everything you need. He gave us a tour of the city and also dedicated time during his week to shows some very special things in Victoria. The apartment itself is wonderful. Bright, sunny beautiful with great views and flowers and deck. The spiral staircase was not a problem for us but might be for some. Ted helped us get our luggage up the stairs. The apartment is right in the city central square and so it is lively, bells ringing a lot at all hours and voices from the square. I found it to be stimulating and the feeling of being right in the center of life. The apartment is very conveniently located, close to everything. The one problem we had was that we rented a car and wished we had not. Driving was very difficult for us. There was a lot of construction, roads closed, one way streets, etc. We got lost a lot. We used the car only two days and the rest of the time took buses which were far easier and perfect. I would not recommend renting a car.

Unser Aufenthalt auf Gozo war wirklich traumhaft. Tolle Buchten und Strände. Das Apartment liegt sehr zentral , war sauber und verfügt über eine wirklich tolle Dachterrasse von der man einen wunderschönen Blick über Victoria hat. Während es unten auf der Platz noch drückend warm ist, kann man dort schon angenehm sitzen. Der Vermieter Ted war super nett und gab uns viele nützlich Tipps. Bei der Ankunft erwarten einem schon die wichtigsten Lebensmittel - Wein, Käse, Brot, Butter und Knabberreien - vielen Dank Ted :-) .

Wir waren während des einwöchigen Festes in Victoria vor Ort. Wer die Ruhe sucht, sollte diese Woche meiden, was weniger an dem Trubel auf dem Platz liegt, sondern eher an dem zum Teil stundenlangen Glockengeläut .

Unser Fazit war : ein wirklich toller Urlaub auf einer tollen Insel mit netten Einwohnern ;-)

Wir waren Anfang Mai für eine Woche auf Gozo und haben uns in dieser Wohnung gut erholt. Das schöne Apartment ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet und hat eine absolut zentrale Lage in Victoria! Auf der traumhaften Dachterrasse überblickt man den Marktplatz des Städtchens, auf dem immer etwas los ist - man sollte also nicht die absolute Ruhe suchen. Vor allem abends/nachts ist die Atmosphäre auf der Terrasse unglaublich. Wohn- und Schlafzimmer sind geschmackvoll eingerichtet; das Bad ist recht klein, aber das reicht auch völlig.

Ted, der Vermieter, war sehr zuvorkommend und gab uns viele Tipps. Nett war auch, dass er bereits Milch, Saft, Toast und Chips in der Küche bereitstellte - nach einer langen Anreise eine Wohltat, vielen Dank!
