[Gozo is] a beautiful island where the people are as warm as the sunshine it basks in, the history is fascinating and the peaceful atmosphere is idyllic. It\u2019s one of the only places in the world that de-stresses me and makes me feel completely at home.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Neil Butterfield<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2026 from the first time we visited Gozo we were made so welcome by the locals, and now after eight years of visiting we consider it our second home! We love the beautiful Island and all it has to offer, and we love the beautiful people who live there.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sue Gaughan<\/p>\n\n\n\n I wonder where else in the world you\u2019ll see a man walking his two goats and a sheep down the middle of the road everyday [like] in Nadur, or the horse being exercised by the chap sitting in the boot of the car with a rope! Time slows down in Gozo and makes for a truly magical and relaxing holiday.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Helen Wilding<\/p>\n\n\n\n The thing that keeps me returning is the genuine warmth and friendliness of the Gozitans! They really appreciate the beauty of their island and are so happy to share it with us.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Lisa Robinson<\/p>\n\n\n\n Family holidays on Gozo<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n \u2026my children love how warm the sea is in October, and they love the gelato van at Ramla \u2026 They love how Gozitans talk to you even when you are little, and don\u2019t ignore you because you are a child, and they love, love LOVE the food (especially at Oleander!) And how the rocks around the Azure window make you feel like you\u2019re on the moon!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Emma Lloyd<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gozo is where I relax the most with friends or family by the sea, I love the food and the people are so friendly.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Christianne Spiteri<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ve had every family holiday there for the last 12 years and would love to take my mum for a change instead of her always taking me! It\u2019s beautifully rugged and quiet! Everything you\u2019d want from a family holiday!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Eilidh Ibbotson<\/p>\n\n\n\n [I\u2019ve visited Gozo] five times with the family and nowhere comes close. It\u2019s the most beautiful island I have ever been to and it feels like a home from home.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Rebecca Norman<\/p>\n\n\n\n Things to do in Gozo<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n [Gozo is] an enchanted island where place names are all Xs and Zs; other-worldly churches light up the balmy, salty night; religious parades go bang\u2026 wild herbs delight the senses of the clifftop rambler; farm fields roll out like patchwork across age-old, silent hills; chic bathers loll on crazy limestone rock formations\u2026; toddlers paddle and whoop in the Robinson Crusoe waters of Comino\u2019s Blue Lagoon; honey-coloured farmhouse villas with twinkling pools and fiery flowers seduce their guests; donkey rides lead children on mystery tours through the cobbled streets and UNESCO villages\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ingo Hippisly<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2026had the most amazing time \u2026 visited wonderful places, saw some beautiful sights and saw my first ever lizards running wild on the rocks! Absolutely beautiful place!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Alison Mansworth<\/p>\n\n\n\n Had a tantalising taster of gorgeous Gozo last year with my husband and daughter. Loved the Azure Window, had quick dip in the Inland Sea, and a whizz around the sights by open top bus. Love the character and history of the island.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Kerry Coey<\/p>\n\n\n\n We spent two weeks [on Gozo] diving in the Blue Lagoon, chilling on Ramla Bay beach, visiting the Azure Window, and simply just enjoying the tranquil pace of life of this beautiful island\u2026 I simply fell in love with the place. The helicopter ride home was only tinged by sadness because I didn\u2019t want to leave. Stunning place.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Local Gozitan cuisine<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n If you\u2019re a foodie there\u2019s a plethora of restaurants and cafes to choose from. Indulging in a coffee and cake at Mgarr ix-Xini watching the sun set over the water is one of my favourites! And talking cake, a must visit is Victoria\u2019s Delights in Marsalforn, a hit with the locals and visitors alike<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Caroline Sampson<\/p>\n\n\n\n I enjoy having a Cisk [beer] on the balcony at the Gleneagles Bar [in Mgarr] followed by an amazing dinner at Tmun restaurant and I\u2019m never happier than when I\u2019ve hired a speed boat from the nice guy at Xlendi and I\u2019m circumnavigating the island for the day stopping in one of the many beautiful harbours for lunch.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n James Pearson<\/p>\n\n\n\n The capital city Victoria is intimate and offers laid-back piazzas in which to sip espresso. If you\u2019re feeling peckish then head to Maxokk Bakery for the finest Gozitan wood-fired pizza, delicious!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Keith Hewett<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gozo\u2019s delicious cuisine [is the best] in terms of taste and freshness. I revel in the fact that I can dine at an exquisite seafront restaurant or grab a mouth-watering pastry from a fresh bakery; both always send my taste buds to heaven. Gozo\u2019s acclaimed cheeselets, savoury pastizzi, wines and beers are gastronomical delights, which are must-tries for foodies.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sharon Heiser<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gozo\u2019s slower pace of life<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n [You get] a peaceful tranquil feeling from the minute you step off the ferry. So different to the hustle and bustle of Malta \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Alan Maloney<\/p>\n\n\n\n [Gozo] is a place to unwind, relax and live in the moment away from humdrum daily life. After half an hour\u2019s enjoyable ferry trip, I feel like I\u2019m at a place where time has stood still.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Marianne McLean<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gozo [is] an idyllic island, a charming destination with quaint fishing villages, peaceful bays, sleepy ambience, excellent restaurants, stunning nature sites, wild and rugged scenery, crystal clear waters. What more could I ask for to escape the rat race, relax and enjoy a peaceful holiday!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Marcelle Vella<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ask us for help<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Baron Holiday Homes is happy to organise car hire, tours of Gozo, and special activities for our guests.
