About the location
The tiny island of Gozo lives in the shadow if its big sister, Malta – which is great for those in the know. It means that its prehistoric cities, Game of Thrones coastline and growing collection of boutique hotels are crowd-free even in high summer.
Victoria is the capital of Gozo – a little citadel city that plants itself in the middle of island. Its medieval walls loop around Gozo Cathedral, the 17th-century Gozo Museum of Archaeology and the church-like Old Prison. You can also take a walk around the costume and folk exhibits at the Gran Castello Historic House.
Xaghra village lies just east of Victoria. It’s home to the toppled megalithic temples of Ggantija, which are thought to be around 6,000 years old.
For more in the way of panoramic views, head for the coast. The famous Azure Window sea arch was a casualty of the 2017 storms, but it’s been given a new lease of life as a scuba diving site of huge broken boulders and settling sea life. The rest of the coastline is sketched out in plunging cliffs and deep-cut bays with wide-ranging views of Comino, Malta and the Mediterranean.

Approximately 1 hour 30 minutes from Malta airport. This transfer includes a ferry crossing of approximately 25 minutes.

The Duke Hotel is a lovely boutique hotel in the heart of Victoria. The rooms are large, the beds are excellent, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the buffet breakfast is great value. The only thing that stops this getting top rating is that our room had no window!
I really recommend the this hotel to everyone - but make sure you ask for a room with a window!

Sheer indulgence, a very professional establishment of the highest quality. Rooms are very well appointed, spacious and clinically clean. The King bed was ultra comfortable and fresh bed linen and towels available daily if required. Buffet breakfast was first class with a range of foods to suit everyone. Ideally situated in the centre of Victoria with every amenity on your doorstep. The Owners and Staff are very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble.
We have been holidaying in Gozo for 20+ years and can honestly say this has been our best experience to date and will definately be booking our next stay at The Duke.

I am not surprised by the completely positive reviews. My partner and I stayed here for 6 nights in the deluxe room with garden views (?). Then reception staff are perfect in their welcome and in explaining the area of Victoria as well as all the instruction for your stay.
The room was perfect. Mini bar, amazing aircon, beautiful view from the balcony as well as all the usuals; fresh towels, robes, slippers etc.
It is a 10-15min walk to the Citadel, which is amazing to go to in the evening to watch the sunset. It is also located centrally, ideal if you are catching buses around. Any time you need a taxi, the reception staff order it for you extremely efficiently.
Breakfast is very nice too. FRESH fruit and pastries. Bacon and sausages, freshly cooked scrambled eggs as well as a large variety of fresh juices and tea and coffee, both freshly made to order.
There are also a handful of amazing restaurants within a 15-17??? taxi ride from the hotel.
My girlfriend and I were completely stoked with our stay at The Duke. The staff went above and beyond and our expectations were completely exceeded.
