Reviews of Ta’ Giljan B&B Gozo

Eveeythin from the breakfast, the room, the view and the owner's hospitality.

Nothing

The facility is spotless, we had the top floor room which is very comfortable. The room has 2 terraces, one of which with an amazing view. Ornella is an excellent host! Breakfast is freshly prepared by her and was delicious.

Nothing to complain!

I loved how clean it was and that it had everything I needed. It also had a stunning view of the valley.

The property itself was great no complaints, location is a bit out of the way from the center but with Bolt you can get to any part of the island.

We had Rosemary room on the top floor (Deluxe Double Room) that was basically whole floor to ourselves. Great thing are two two terraces on each side of the building. Smaller one is looking towards the street but since it is the top floor, it allows for privacy. Large terrace leads from the bedroom and looks over the green valley and villages on the opposite hills. Du to East - West orientation, one is always sunny, while other has some shade. Large bedroom has wardrobes, almost a walk-ins by the size, and a desk. Two large glass doors leading to terrace allow for a lot of light, and it is easily aired. Doors have nets so no bugs and mosquitos can get into the room. Bathroom is spacious and clean, with a lot of amenities. Room has a mini fridge, and Ornella (the owner) keeps it well stocked with soft drinks, sparking water, beer and wine, with roughly the same prices as in bars around the island. Breakfast was very tasty, usually a plate of cheese, meat and vegetable cuts, along with large selection of pastries, cakes, fruit etc. Ornella adapted the breakfast to our dietary needs. Buffet differs from day to day, and it never disappointed. B&B is located half way between Marsalforn and center of Xaghra, and about same distance from Ramla beach. It is 30 minutes walking to each spot, or several bus stops. Busses are running on timetable, but plan ahead if you use them because you'll usually need to change at least one line - to reach most interesting parts of Gozo you'll need under on hour. Alternative - use a taxi or rent a scooter or a bike. If renting a bicycle, consider that Gozo has a lot of hills. Closest bus stop is few minutes away, as well as a well stocked mini market. Ornella was great host, giving us a lot of info about island and its habits, along with making great coffee and cakes for breakfast. Recommended, especially if you use your own form of transport.

Great location as a base to explore Gozo, very close to Ggantija temple and Ramla Bay. Ta’Giljan is a very well-kept and clean property with amazing valley views and a lovely terrace with swimming pool. Ornella is a wonderful host, she makes you feel very welcome from the moment you step through the door - and she cooks the most delicious breakfasts! We really enjoyed our stay with Ornella and thoroughly recommend staying at Ta’Giljan.

The terrace and the view was amazing. The room was spacious and tastefully decorated. All facilities are well planned. As a bonus you get to experience a home made breakfast with a freshly made cup of coffee.

Ornella is an excellent host! She is so sweet and nice to talk to. Breakfast is freshly prepared by her and was delicious. The views are amazing and the bed was super comfy.

The room was a bit small but it had a very decent balcony that made up for it. There are also larger rooms available.

Ornella is very kind and concerned about details. The room was big and very comfortable. The terrace was big with a beautiful view. It's very peaceful and quiet and we slept like children. The beach is accessible by foot, 20-30 minutes and there's a beautiful trail along the coastline to Marsalforn.

We stayed here for 5 nights in April 2025. We had a really lovely stay, it's hard to put into words. It really felt like a home from home - Ornella's hospitality is first class, genuine, friendly and attentive, she really cares about her guests experience. The rooms are freshened every day which is not expected at a B&B but is welcome and shows how much care she takes in looking after guests. The variety offered at breakfast was wonderful, all of the food was delicious and fresh, and was slightly different each day. The room itself (we stayed in the Rosemary room) was clean, beautifully decorated and felt like home. The front and rear balconies are a bonus, and the view from the rear balcony (and the main terrace) is really spectacular. Honestly, photos don't do justice to the view across the valley. It's so beautiful and we spent a long time just staring out over the valley watching the birds and the people farming. Likewise, the photos don't do the room justice - the whole house is immaculate and very tastefully decorated. Oh, and Giljan the cat is very sweet, slightly aloof but a real character. One of the sassiest cats you could meet but a lovely presence in the house. Thanks so much Ornella, it was lovely staying with you and we hope to see you again in the future.

The only constructive comment we would make is that the mattress protector under the bed sheet is crunchy and hot. An alternative type (such as bamboo) might be less obvious (crunchy) and less hot at night. This is a very minor comment though.

Ornella is a very friendly host that care about her guests. The breakfast was amazing. Ornella really provides a really good continental breakfast, was genuinely impressed. Giuliano the cat was of nice company during the breakfast as well :)

Your host Ornella makes sure that you have the best stay. She'll give you information about the area, activities and het breakfasts are really good. We 100% recommend!

We enjoyed a very nice stay in Ta‘Giljan B&B. Ornella is a lovely and kind host, caring about her guests. At our first morning er had to leave early for our dives and she made us a delicious breakfast to go. The room was always very clean and we enjoyed the nice view from the balcony. We will be back soon! Thanks Ornella :)

Beautiful views from our balcony, lovely room and nice location to walk to two nearby towns, beaches and perfect base to explore Gozo

Nothing

We really enjoyed our stay at Ta' Giljan. Ornella was incredibly hospitable and welcoming throughout our five night stay. She provided great & varied home cooked breakfasts every day and was always on hand or contactable if we had any questions. The location for us was great. We didn't have a car, but it's a 20 minute walk into Xahgra and only about 25/30 mins walk to both Ramla Bay and Marsalforn. There's also a bus stop right outside. For us, it was the perfect location to explore Gozo from. The room was decently sized and the bed was really comfy. The room had an en-suite and the water pressure and temperature in the shower were great too. There was plenty of storage so the room never felt cluttered. Overall, it was a fantastic place to stay and really made our visit to Gozo special. Thank you!

Nothing really comes to mind. It's a homely B&B and felt like staying in someone's house (in a great way).

We stayed for 6 nights. Apart from the first day (breakfast was a bit disappointing), the breakfasts are definitely worth a try. They were very diverse and tasty. The owner took into account in the breakfasts prepared that we do not eat meat. The cleanliness is also a big plus.

We didn't feel good about this place. There were rules for everything. The room was cleaned every day, but moving personal items in the bathroom (toothbrush or razor) from the shelf under the mirror to the cabinet seems inappropriate to me. Location: Every morning we were woken up by the crowing of roosters, and then the shots of hunters. And it was like that every day.

Lovely host. Beautiful room. Fantastic views. Perfect location.

The entire house, including the rooms, is very clean and well maintained. Our room was spacious and offered good comfort. We had a lovely time in Gozo and always enjoyed coming back to the accommodation. The terrace and balcony were a great place to relax. Ornella is very attentive and has a great sense of humour. Her breakfast creations were very tasty. We would love to come back. Vielen Dank, grazie mille, thank you. Bis hoffentlich bald :)

Ta Gilian surpassed my expectations. It was good value for money because the beds were really comfortable, the room was very clean, gorgeous views and a good breakfast too. Thank you Ornella

Location is perfect - close to Ramla and a few kilometers to Victoria. Everyday you will receive delicious breakfast. Everything in room looks like a new and a room is very clean. Beautyful view from the balcony

Nothing

Lovely base in Gozo. Quiet, clean & a terrific hostess. Terrific view from the room & terrace. The hostess organised a car rental for us making our stay very easy. Also a great breakfast each day.

Nothing.

Ornella is a very friendly and attentive host, will help you with anything and establishes contact on Whatsapp. The place is extremely clean and well maintained. Upper floor room is large and with perfect view from balcony over the valley. Bed super comfy. Very modern and clean bathroom. Italian breakfast plus eggs, mokka coffee. Parking easily available on the street. Super location to visit Gozo, Marsalforn can be accessed on foot (30 min). Ramla beach very close.

A sunshade should be added to the balcony.
