About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Stay inside the walls of Gozo Cittadella fortress

Experience the magic of living inside a UNESCO World Heritage Site at our one-of-a-kind Airbnb, the only accommodation located INSIDE the ancient walls of the Gozo Citadel fortress. Our rustic 2-bedroom home features a breathtaking roof terrace with stunning panoramic views of the castle and surrounding fortress. Immerse yourself in the history and culture of the medieval streets while enjoying modern amenities. We invite you to create unforgettable memories in this unique and special location.

You will have completely private use of this 2-bedroom traditional Maltese townhouse and it's private roof top terrace. You will NOT share any parts of the house or outdoor spaces with anyone outside your group. The property is accessed from a private street entrance and comprises 3 floors. The house is located inside the walls of the Gozo Citadella fortress (a UNESCO world heritage site) which is a guarded site.

Our team is available 24/7 should you have any urgent issues during your stay. Please feel free to reach out anytime if you have questions, queries or just want to get some local tips! I especially love sharing our local knowledge of the lesser-known hidden gems of Gozo.

We always respect our guest's privacy and won't intrude on you unless invited so you can feel comfortable in your home away from home.

The most unique neighbourhood on the island! Our townhouse is located inside the world renowned Gozo Cittadella which is a site that originally dates back to the bronze ages and was reconstructed into a large castle complex by the Knights Templar in the 16th century. Today, the Cittadella is a UNESCO world heritage site and visited by hundreds of thousands of people per year. You will be staying in the only accommodation located inside the fortress and our guests can walk freely along the castle walls, through the narrow streets and even into the beautiful lower gardens in the ditch.

Our Cittadella townhouse is a truly unique property and it is important for guests to understand its advantages and disadvantages prior to booking. If you are looking for a memorable and adventurous experience while staying inside the walls of a breathtaking medieval fortress then this house is definitely for you! If you prefer a peaceful location with absolute quiet then I do recommend choosing a more rural property from our portfolio.

The church inside the Cittadella is one of the most important religious shrines on the island and the large bells will ring during the day to call the local residents to mass as well as celebrate important dates. There are cultural events inside the walls of the Cittadella throughout the year (guests will have a front row seat) which can also generate normal day time noise. Night time noise is limited to the soft clock bells which sound the time periodically. Due to the fact it is in a UNESCO world heritage site and deeply protected, we are not allowed to install uPVC apertures so the windows are traditional wooden framed single-pane glass with shutters. Light sleepers should consider bringing ear plugs if you intend to sleep late in the morning. The house has been fully modernized internally so that you can enjoy all the usual comforts of home. You will have direct access to the Cittadella right outside your front door and you are free to roam around the unrestricted areas of the fortress at anytime of day/night.

In summary, please consider whether this listing will be suitable for your needs/comfort and please do feel free to ask any questions that you may have before booking. We look forward to welcoming you to our magical Cittadella home!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

GREAT location, loud bells at night

This was such a unique property. I loved being able to walk out our front door directly into the Citadel! It was nice to explore outside of the crowded times (12-3). Pros:The property was cute and very clean. It was an easy walk downhill to get groceries or grab dinner (long walk uphill to get back, though).The views were awesome.We were there at the beginning of June and it was surprisingly cool inside the apartment. We only used AC at night. Cons:There isn't a dryer, so you air dry your clothes. My clothes took so much longer to air dry than expected (over 24 hours). There isn't really anywhere inside to sit other than the beds or kitchen table. Not a huge problem, just something to be aware of. Earplugs were provided and they did help, but the bells ring every 15 minutes throughout the night. I got more sleep than I expected, but the bells played extra long (10 mins) at 6 am each day.

Fantastic property and location …we thought the bells were magical,the house is tucked away with a private roof terrace that means you look out over the Citadel and beyond to the sea .It was an easy walk for morning coffee and all the restaurants. Would be back in a heartbeat if I didn’t live so far away …..than you Jane

Our stay was absolutely amazing! What a unique property. Walking around at night was so much fun for my children. Incredible experience. The church bells are loud as the description warns and ring every 15 minutes but we managed to sleep through most of it and the experience as a whole is well worth the noise!!!!
