Believe every review you read about Botanica and expect to love it. And then expect to say it was better than you could possibly have imagined. From the moment Sophie opens the door and the gorgeous citronella fragrance envelops you, you know you have made the right choice. For couples of all ages this the perfect chill out base – the freely available coffee, the lovely pool, the beautiful flowers and shrubs, the lovely furniture and tastefully decorated rooms welcome you and from the moment you arrive, you start to slow down. And all this before I mention the extraordinary breakfasts which varied each day – gorgeous fruit, freshly squeezed orange juice, fresh bread, home made jams (4 or 5 different varieties), scrambled eggs infused with truffles, local cheeses, smoked salmon blinis, tart tatin (so, so good) - I could go on for ages. And all of this impeccably presented with floral and mint adornments. Sophie is the perfect host and a wonderful human being. The best B&B we've ever stayed in.

We should have stayed longer.

Botanica B&B is a hidden gem in Gozo. We only stayed one night as we only had a short holiday and were trying to fit a lot in. Sophie was so welcoming and the B&B is stunning. It was so nice to stay somewhere a bit more traditional and it was a lovely contrast to our stay on the main island. The room was really comfy & had a lovely balcony & view of the pool. I loved hearing the birds singing and it was so quiet with just the sounds of nature. I read from previous reviews that Sophie did a good breakfast but we were blown away. We are vegetarian and she was so accommodating. All home made and you could see how much care she put into it. We would love to come back. Merci Sophie ❤️

Nothing!! Only that we weren’t there longer

It was our second time at Botanica, first time in the summer and this time in the winter. The place is fabulous, very cosy and homely. The breakfast is definitely a highlight, with local fresh ingredients and a fabulous presentation. The host Sophie is a wonderful person, very friendly and attentive to her customers needs. We were free to use the open spaces around the house and the very cosy fireplace. The rooms are equipped with air conditioning, hot water, a fridge and a kettle with options to make tea and coffee. Just perfect for a few days stay away from a hectic lifestyle. Really good options for restaurants in the evening as well, just 8 minutes walk away. I give this place 10 out of 10. We will be back again 😊

We had the pleasure of staying at Botanica on Gozo, and it was truly a memorable experience. From the moment we arrived, Sophie, the owner, made us feel incredibly welcome. Her warm hospitality and attention to detail set the tone for the entire stay. The house itself is full of character, exuding old-world charm with thoughtful touches that make it feel both inviting and cozy. The décor is beautifully curated, and every corner of the house tells a story, which we really appreciated. Our room was spacious and comfortable, with high ceilings that added to the sense of airiness. It was impeccably clean, and we immediately felt at home. One of the highlights of our stay was the lush garden and refreshing pool—an absolute oasis, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring the island. And let's not forget the breakfast, which was a true 5-star experience. Freshly prepared by Sophie, it was a delightful way to start the day, with a variety of delicious, locally sourced options that catered to every taste. Overall, our experience at Botanica was fantastic, and we would not hesitate to return. Sophie’s hospitality, the beautiful surroundings, and the overall warmth of the house made our stay unforgettable. Highly recommended!

Absolutely loved our stay at this charming B&B! From the moment we arrived, Sophie made us feel completely at home — she’s one of the warmest, kindest hosts we’ve ever met. She truly treated us like family, going above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The venue itself is incredibly peaceful, perfect for a relaxing getaway. And the breakfast was absolutely divine — all homemade and full of love, a must if you're staying there. Highly recommend!

Sophie is a very welcoming, warm and attentive host who has taken all the right steps to create an intriguing, breathtaking and tropical villa. As soon as you step in, you find yourself in a beautiful high ceiling house with scented aromatherapy greeting you and candles etc. Sophie is clearly a passionate caring host who has paid attention to the detail and provides the BEST of all breakfasts!!! We were flabbergasted with so many tiny dishes, jams, pancake with apple, fruit, everything.. wow wow wow.. Magnificent! We much return soon so thank you so so much! Love Anna & Hannah xXx

The breakfast was wonderful, particularly given the surroundings it was served in - a lovely yard/garden. The hostess was very attentive.

The breakfast was lovely but overwhelming! It was too much, and it would have been better if it were a buffet, so that we could pick only whatever we wanted. The entire (beautiful) presentation and quantity appeared to be an effort to justify the high price, since the rest of the facilities were normal, and even below expectations, as the shower was very small and the room dark.

Sophie was very friendly, kind and welcoming. Her house has a relaxing ambience. We really enjoyed her amazing, beautifully presented breakfasts in a very pretty garden. It was lovely to swim and relax by the pool in the afternoons after our trips out. The location was perfect with only a short 10 minute walk to the village square. Sophie and Stephanie are a great team. We would highly recommend this exceptional house and will definitely return.

Nothing. It was perfect.

We would like to thank Sophie for the amazing time we had in her B&B! The house is 400 y.o. and provides a nice local atmosphere. The room was pretty big and clean. The house is super beautiful, with nice furniture and decorations. There are some aroma candles in the house, which smell awesome. We had everything we needed, also towels for the swimming pool. The pool was big enough and clean. The most impressive thing was the breakfast! Sophie and her friend prepared everything themselves every morning! We stayed 3 nights there, therefore we had 3 breakfasts. Every time there was something new, they prepared every time another surprise! The food was very fresh and delicious, but the way they served it was amazing too!!! It was served with so much attention to detail and love! Merci Sophie for the amazing B&B experience in Gozo! We already recommend your B&B for all our friends. We would like to come back soon! Greetings and privet from Germany, Michael & Malika

The room was spacious with magnificent views. The breakfast outstanding and location perfect for exploring Xaghra and Gozo. The host was kind and generous, making us feel at home - with excellent tips for walks and restaurants across the island. The garden and pool area is an oasis. Parking also available on site if you have a car.
