Island of Gozo, Hotel Location & Transport
What’s the address of Maria Rosa Suites?
Maria Rosa Suites, Triq Santa Marija, Victoria, Gozo, Malta VCT 1501. You may click here to learn more about the whereabouts of our guesthouse.
Where is Gozo?
Many have heard about Malta but many look perplexed when they hear the name Gozo. The island of Gozo is part of the Maltese Archipelago of islands and is a mere 5km stretch of sea away from Malta. The Maltese Archipelago is made up of a handful of small uninhabited islands and three inhabited islands, namely Malta (population: approx. 500,000), Gozo (population: approx. 32,000) and Comino (population: 2).
Being a third of the size of Malta, and having just about 7% of Malta’s population, Gozo is more rural and more tranquil and that makes it distinctly different than its larger sister island. The island is known for picturesque scenery, pristine coastline, untouched country trials, sleepy villages, and a bustling year-round cultural calendar.
Do you offer parking facilities?
On-street parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please check the time allowed on street signs • – Alternative parking is available a 5-minute walk from the property. View parking locations on the map

How do I get around Gozo?
In Gozo we say that all roads lead to Victoria and that’s very accurate. Being in the centre of Gozo, the City is a great starting point if you wish to discover the island’s length and breadth. What’s most convenient is that every bus route in Gozo starts and ends at the Victoria Bus Terminal, the nearest bus stop is just 50meters from the Maria Rosa and service is every hour.
Whether you want to visit the natural wonder that is Dwejra, the gorgeous Xlendi bay, or one of the island’s quaint villages, you are just a step away.
You may also hire a taxi or rent a car while you’re on the island. There are plenty of operators that offer this service. Also, with the island being so small, travelling on foot is also very possible.
Are there any events in Gozo?
Yes, there are. Gozo is steeped in culture and tradition, and there’s a good chance that there’s something interesting happening while you’re on the island. We suggest you click here to see what’s on in Gozo, perhaps there’s something that’ll tickle your fancy.
What is there to do in Gozo?
Hiking, diving, snorkelling, swimming, kayaking, boating, cycling, abseiling, rock-climbing, horse-riding, canoeing, segway tours, yoga, and wine-tasting are just a few activities you can enjoy while on the island. We also recommend joining in the many events organised throughout the year, especially the traditional ones like the village festas organised during summer. If you just want to chill and relax, the island offers many places and opportunities to just do so.

Can I see Gozo in a day?
No. Gozo might be a small island but you’d be surprised at the many places to see and visit. If you really want to experience Gozo, without hastily going to places trying to see everything in one day, you have to spend several nights on the island. Gozo is not a day trip destination.
