Having read some mixed reviews (mainly dated around 2016) I was a little apprehensive but we had a great experience at Villagg Tal-Fanal.

We went with a huge group of friends and hired the whole place, and it's probably one of the best holidays I've been on in memory.

The complex is arranged a central pool area, with a large, clean, and warm pool that was a delight to swim in each day. Shaded sun loungers seemed to always be available, but you're still just seconds from your apartment.

The apartments themselves are all slightly different; locations, configurations, sizes, floors, etc, but this just adds to the charm.

Some of the reviews have complained about the upkeep, but this wasn't a problem for us; perhaps it's a little quaint and some things could have been newer, but for the price, we're more than happy. Additionally, the maintenance guy came as soon as we had a problem to rectify one or two small niggles we had. High speed wifi is everywhere and while sometimes a little slow to connect, had a 130mbs speed that matches what I had at home. 

Self catering was not a problem; there's a lovely supermarket (Lighthouse) a 10 minute walk away, which we were incredibly surprised to find almost everything you could want (from food, to drink, to supplies), all very high quality, and we ate like kings every night.

The beds were really comfortable; not hard or soft, but medium. I sleep on a memory foam mattress at home and am quite picky but most nights I was asleep in seconds, and woke up every morning without any back problems. The rooms are also air conditioned, and there are duvets should the air con be too effective (which it could be!).

I would advise taking a couple of extras like a washing up brush and perhaps plastic glasses for the pool, as there is no bar and glass is not allowed. Contrary to one of the other reviews, we asked for and received toilet paper, as well as hangers, with a smile. 

Overall, a great place to stay, and highly recommended.

Enchanting and relaxing holiday complex, striking distance from the hussle and bussle

There are good points and bad points:- Good points: cozy mezonette surrounded by a very beautiful yard and palm trees and beautiful swimming pool. There was an under-ground parking and the location of the motel was nice.- Bad points: The mezonette is serviced only with 2 toilet paper rolls for all your stay long, thereby you must shop yourself the toilet papers.The trash bag is about 20 liters and only one empty genral trash bag is serviced at your arrival, thereby you should take care of them yourself.If your reservasion is for more than two people and you pay for all equivaletly, only two of you can use the bed and the rest of you should use a metalic-base foldable sofa as a bed, which you cannot even sleep on it (maybe fine for people less than 20 kg weight, but definitely not good for heavier people).The provided towels will stay with you till of your checkout, they won't change the towels regularly.

At first glance all seemed spacious & average in the 1 Bedroom Maisonette. 
When we walked in the bathroom it stunk like hell. The bath mixer & sink taps all corroded plus the shower head hardly does the job. On the whole the bathroom could be all renovated. After an hour in the place I got bad hay fever. Ceiling fans & insect screens where filthy. Extra pillows in the wardrobe where damp & stinky. One armchair had big stains too. As for the kitchen I only trusted to use the kettle & mugs.

Pool & outside area is very nice but rules are broken with people & kids playing ball & jumping in the water. Not the relaxing long weekend we needed & imagined so we left after 1 night.
Not one staff member was seen so even Covid rules broken

Not so great

We stayed at Gozo Village for three nights and we wished we could have stayed longer🌞 It is one of the most tranquil places on the island of Gozo. We lodged in a one-bedroom Maisonette with all that we needed at hand. Communication by phone and email prior to our stay was quick and efficient. Thank you we will certainly come back.

Great retreat for weekend breaks and more

Peaceful FreedomRelaxingWill definitley come back

We went to this complex knowing that it was in a small village and that there were no on site facilities. Our first apartment was the ore booked one room apartment, which was as advertised but looked out over the field behind the complex.  This was great for the first day, but then the farmer decided to spread muck on the field.  The resulting stench and flies was unbearable so we asked to be moved. The manager moved us to a two bedroom apartment overlooking the pool at no extra cost. This was far superior in every way. The fridge was bigger and had a separate freezer, the toaster and kettle both worked properly and the shower head attached properly to the wall to allow a full shower. 
The pool was lovely and clean with plenty of sunbeds.

We rented a car from the supplier recommended in the welcome book. This was a mistake that we should have known to avoid. We arranged for a car to be delivered to the complex.  The rep arrived and said we needed to go with him to sign the paperwork. We presumed we were going just down the road, however we were taken to the far side of Rabbat and when we got there the car was not offered at the price given in the information pack, but was €10 a day more. We should have left it but we’re stranded in the backstreet of an unfamiliar place and had no idea how far we were from taxi or bus rank. The car was ok, but a bit small for my husband to drive and we had no other choice. 

I would definitely recommend using the local bus service instead of hiring a car. It is efficient, goes to most places on the island and is cheap if you buy a week ticket for €21. 

The complex was isolated and there was one well supplied shop about 15 min walk away who would deliver for a €50 + spend. The only restaurant was next door. Unlike Greece where we normally go, there were no tavernas in the villages, and those by the sea were expensive.  It would have been easy to use the bus in the evenings, or to do the shopping but we didn’t try that.

Quiet and rural

Perfect For All.Exactly as advertised.Friendly and helpful staff on site.Clean and well looked after.Thoroughly recommend.

Fantastic Week

I’ve stayed here for 8 days and it’s in a great position , not far from town and not far from coast , the pool is the perfect temperature and you make friends in the other room, self catering was fine as the flats were well equipped and the rooms were hot but had air conditioning , I’m happy

The right place

I thank firstly the staff for their support to make my booking - they were so patient answering every email I send. We have been in several places but the village at il fanal is amazing. Although its shared, we still manage to find a lot of peace and tranquility. Place is also kept very beautiful and clean ... will recommend as a great escape with a fair cost...
