Cosy Heaven was wonderful for our stay in Gozo. Such a charming cottage in the heart of Rabat, we loved our stay here. Edwina is a terrific host and we appreciated the well stocked fridge, bread, wine, cheeses and local gozitan products. Thank you Edwina, we would love to come back,

Wonderful location on a quiet residential street in the heart of St. George Piazza. If you spend a Sunday / Monday on the island this part of town is a true neighborhood, then on Tuesday all of the amazing shops opened their doors and the street merchants were out. Edwina is an amazing host - and stocked the home with food, treats, wine and beer. The home is cozy and historic. Stay here .

Beautiful house in a great location

The house has been beautifully renovated and has everything (& more!) you could possibly need. Location is great - in the old town, just a couple of minutes walk from St George's square. Edwina is an excellent host and helped make our stay very special.

Marvelous stay in Gozo

We have only good words for this stay. The old house is very comfortable, clean and very quiet in spite of being close to the centre of Victoria, the bus station, restaurants, etc. The host, Edwina, was at the house for our arrival. She provided us with bread, cheese, wine, beer, crackers and Malta speciality, Kinni and more. She also gave us very useful information on the restaurants, grocery stores and the hiking trails. Thanks for this wonderful welcome, we rapidly feel at home at Gozo.

Cozy Heaven was the perfect home base for our two-week Gozo visit. It is stocked with almost everything you could need, and host Edwina's welcome basket of local snacks, pluswine and beer immediately made it feel like home. The location is perfect: 5 minutes to the bus terminal (the bus system is SO GOOD on Gozo), 5 minutes to the farmer's market, 5 minutes to Independence Square. Even if your aren't a "walker" per se, you can get to almost anything in Rabat in less than 10 minutes on foot.BUT...the real star of this stay was Edwina. Her communication is easily the best of all the many VRBO stays we've booked, and having her there to greet us after 16 hours of exhausting travel was so appreciated. Throughout our stay, she would check in to make sure our stay was going smoothly and offer to answer any questions we had about ANYTHING. We could not have had a better Gozo experience, and having Edwina as a guiding hand was key to that experience. We are already planning a fall trip to come back and see more of Malta, and will be renting one of her properties without a second thought! host Edwina

Gozo - April 2024

I had the absolute best experience at Cosy Heaven! Edwina is truly one of the best VRBO Hosts I have ever dealt with (and will continue to use on return trips to Malta!). She personally met me at the place and kindly laid out the amenities of the place and then finely detailed the great things in and around all of Gozo. This sincere personal touch was heartwarming and made me instantly happy in my decision to stay here. The place is so perfect with all the amenities and the location cannot be beat as it is only a few doors down from Pjazza San Gorg and mere moments to The Citadel. The cozy apartment located in the heart of Victoria (Rabat) is wonderful and Edwina is the best host around!

A Jewel Box of a House

You could not choose a better place to stay in the old center of Victoria. The Citadel, Independence Square, and San Giorg square with all its wonderful restaurants are just a few steps away. And the bus station from which you can travel to every part of the island is only a 5 minute walk away. The house itself is charming, tastefully furnished, well equipped and very conveniently located. The kitchen is fully kitted out with everything you could want, including a good supply of spices, oils and condiments. The sweet little courtyard at the back of the house is an amazing bonus, perfect for sitting and having your morning coffee or an evening glass of wine in complete privacy. The host, Edwina is delightful and will give you recommendations for places to visit and restaurants to try if you would like them. All in all, I can’t imagine anyone who would not love their stay in this treasure of a house. We certainly did.

Perfect

I cannot thank Edwina enough for her superb hosting. This chamming lady had thought of everything to make ur stay both comfortable and a delight. We arrived to find she had provided all the staple food items (including wine) to welcme two weary travellers. Ov er the next fortnight we discovered the elightful ambiance of the apartment: towels and bed linen aplenty modern appliances and joy! a bathroom small but perfectly formed. The plant filled patio with its pretty table ans chairs was a little haven in which to relax after a strenuous day. I must mention all Edwina’s little touches about the place: pictures, mirrors, comfy and sylish chairs all combining to create the sense of a Gozitan home. ​The location is perfect in Victoria’s quaint little streets where time seems to have stood still. There is a plethora of bars, cafes ad restaurants just round the corner and buses to explore the island a short walk away. I have visited Gozo many times but I can honestly say I have never felt so welcomed or felt truly ‘at home’.

Accueil hors pair et logement parfait

Edwina est une propriétaire qui prend grand soin de ses hôtes : à l'arrivée, pendant le séjour et à la fin. Elle avait rempli le frigidaire du nécessaire pour le premier soir et le lendemain; charmante attention. Le logement est en plein centre historique dans une rue piétonne comme tout le centre historique, donc au calme. Edwina a restauré le logement avec goût et des matériaux de qualité. Propreté impeccable. La cour intérieure est bien agréable. Équipement au complet. Une adresse a réserver les yeux fermés. Pour moi une des deux meilleures adresses de guesthouse que je connaisse (avec une à Alghero en Sardaigne), et j'en ai fréquenté quelques unes depuis 20 ans....
