Villagg Tal Fanal

Stunning complex of basic self catering apartments with a lovely pool. Travelling as a family we found the venue clean, quiet and well positioned to explore all of Gozo. We lounged by the pool most mornings and afternoons, with lots of families doing the same. The reviews on this site are out dated and don’t reflect the current good quality of the venue. The staff are helpful the grounds are kept spotless and there is even cool/out of the heat underground parking. Our 2 bedroom apartment was massive, we had decent TV, the wifi is fast (and free) all you need is a few euros change to pay for the aircon (which is also great). Remember it is self catering so you will need to stock up on supplies…using the local Lighthouse supermarket is also a breeze! We will be back to this accommodation for sure!

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.
