It was rather expensive but breakfast compensated it all :) Delicious!!!! Hotel is in retro/romantic style, somehow homely, very clean, close to the sea, run by very, very, very nice family We had a small room but cozy and enough for the two of us Bathroom looked like newly renowated :) Internet access in rooms is a plus

I found this hotel by chance on the Ta maria website. It is located one block from the main Marselforn bay. It is tastefully decorated and very clean. As it is a guesthouse, do not expect "fancy", but it was very cozy and clean, and the guesthouse owners were very attentive and wanting to make sure the experience was a... More

We were recommended this guest house by our host in Valletta and we have enjoyed our five day stay here immensely. We were collected from the ferry by Joseph, who was very welcoming. Upon our arrival we were greeted by the twins, Anna and Sonia and their mother Maria,all of whom nothing is too much trouble. Maria, is a wonderful... More

We’ve just come back from a week of diving in Gozo and our accommodation was arranged through the dive centre so we didn’t really know what to expect. The Maria Giovanna Guest House is the most charming small hotel I have stayed in. The 15’ish rooms are filed with antique furniture giving a very traditional feel, yet the bathrooms are... More

This place is fantastic, the guest house itself is beautiful and has a very warm character. The staff are really kind and their hospitality is outstanding. Highly recommended!! Ideal for a couple that want to relax. Breakfast was delicious, the home made pastries yummie! There is no tv in the room, however there is one in the lounge..just for TV... More

I came to this guest house intending to stay for three nights and ended up staying for sixteen nights. Of course, I loved Gozo, but the hospitality at Maria Giovanna Guest House was outstanding in every respect. The room was attractive and very comfortable. The other guests were enjoyable, too. A few evenings I had dinner there. When available, it... More

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
