Shambala is a 900-year-old home, beautifully restored yet still brimming with traditional features – some so rare it’s a stop on several walking tours of Gozo. You’ll find Shambala peacefully situated along a network of beautiful cobbled walkways, themselves a fascinating slice of Gozitan history. Shambala 5 is a luxury studio, perfect for two guests. Your self-contained studio inside Shambala is beautifully decorated to complement the traditional archways, high ceilings and sand-stone walls. In your room you’ll find a large queen-size Murphy bed that can be folded into the wall for additional space during the day, a private bathroom with rain shower, a well-equipped kitchenette, high-speed Wi-Fi and a Smart TV. Shambala studio 5 is on the second floor, with easy access through keyless entry. This bright and sunny studio has its own private rooftop terrace, but it is important to note that access to Studio 5 is up a garigor – a narrow winding staircase that is a traditional feature of historical houses of character. This may be challenging for people with more limited mobility. Beyond your room you can enjoy a shared courtyard on the first floor, as well as the communal rooftop terrace with views across Rabat and the Citadel. Pack a picnic or make use of the communal barbecue for dinner with a view. This is the perfect base for a stay on the magical island of Gozo. Not only are you just around the corner from the famous St George’s Pjazza and Independence Square, both with a great selection of bars, restaurants, galleries and shops; but you are also a short walk away from the central bus station where you can easily connect to other attractions on the island. You will have private access to Shambala 5, your own beautiful studio apartment complete with private bathroom and kitchen. Shambala 5 has it's own private rooftop terrace. You will also have access to a communal seating area on the first floor, as well as a rooftop terrace with BBQ. These communal areas are shared with the five apartments within Shambala. This is the perfect base for a stay on the magical island of Gozo. Not only are you just around the corner from the famous St George’s Pjazza and Independence Square, both with a great selection of bars, restaurants, galleries and shops; but you are also a short walk away from the central bus station where you can easily connect to other attractions on the island. Top five suggested activities: 1\. Go for an early morning walk around the cobbled lanes of Rabat before enjoying a coffee in one of the many local cafes; 2\. Watch the world go by while eating lunch in Independence Square; followed by some souvenir shopping in Organika, House of Gozo or Preti Artigjanali 3\. Explore the fascinating history of Gozo with a walk around the Citadel followed by a visit to the Il Hagar Museum; 4\. Visit one of the nearby art galleries, such as Art Hall, the Upstairs Gallery, and Art e Gallery. 5\. Enjoy sunset on the rooftop terrace, listening to the birds chattering and watching the lights come up on the Citadel, while enjoying a glass of Maltese wine and a dinner of locally sourced Gozitan specialities. Hide You are located right in the heart of Victoria, Gozo's central town. From here, you have a long list of attractions to explore on foot. To explore the island at large, you are just a short walk from the central bus terminus where you can easily connect to all other towns.

We provide ant traps and repellent spray which normally work well, but you may want to pack additional mosquito protection. Please do your part to reduce ants by keeping food sealed and kitchen surfaces clean. • Smoking is not permitted in Shambala rooms or on the first floor communal area. Smoking is permitted on the rooftop terrace. • No parties or loud noises. Shambala is located in a quiet, historical area and it is important to respect our neighbours by keeping noise down, especially when entering and leaving the building and always after 11pm. • Our Tourism License does not permit us to allow external guests without written approval. Only residents of Shambala may use the common areas or be in the rooms. • The septic system is effective and works well – unless improper materials are flushed. Feminine products, nappies and wipes should be disposed of in the bin, and the only thing flushed should be toilet tissue. • The cleaning fee covers a general cleaning upon check-out. To avoid additional charges, please keep the studio reasonably clean and wash any dirty dishes before departure. Please dispose of garbage in the bins provided. • You can check in any time from 4pm to Midnight. Check-out is at 10am on day of departure. • We have coin units installed for air-conditioning, in order to ensure efficient and environmentally responsible consumption. Just a couple of euros is more than enough to run the air-conditioning for reasonable use, and we will load enough credit for reasonable use during your stay. We recommend switching off the air-conditioning when you are out of the room. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Unit size: 140 square feet ## Similar properties ![Rooftop pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/83000000/82840000/82830200/82830109/c7453ec5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Townhouse17 Victoria - Breakfast included - Free WiFi - Restaurant - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 110 reviews CA $121 CA $132 total includes taxes & fees Nov 27 - Nov 28 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-27&endDate=2025-11-28&selected=82830109&PinnedHotelID=82830109&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/118000000/117300000/117292000/117291972/f2bc2ed7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Timeless Elegance: 900-Year-Old Renovated Studio Ir-Rabat Għawdex - Kitchen - Washer - Air conditioning - Outdoor space CA $57 CA $130 total includes taxes & fees Nov 23 - Nov 24 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-23&endDate=2025-11-24&selected=117291972&PinnedHotelID=117291972&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/45000000/44550000/44540200/44540190/88aa74b6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 85 PALMA LIVING- VICTORIA GOZO OLD TOWN CENTER Ir-Rabat Ghawdex - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-05&endDate=2025-12-06&selected=44540190&PinnedHotelID=44540190&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Front of property](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113960000/113953100/113953043/ab3e7e77.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Marcellino Boutique Living Victoria - Breakfast included - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Housekeeping 9.4 Exceptional 19 reviews CA $102 CA $111 total includes taxes & fees Dec 1 - Dec 2 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-01&endDate=2025-12-02&selected=113953043&PinnedHotelID=113953043&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111520000/111516600/111516531/08dde41a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A Holiday Home Duplex in a Gozo Village Square Victoria - Kitchen - Washer - Air conditioning - Microwave [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-05&endDate=2025-12-06&selected=111516531&PinnedHotelID=111516531&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Deluxe Double or Twin Room, 1 Bedroom, Balcony](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100610000/100606900/100606892/1a126fb3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Maria Rosa Suites Victoria - Breakfast included - Spa - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 9.6 Exceptional 29 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-05&endDate=2025-12-06&selected=100606892&PinnedHotelID=100606892&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, oven, stovetop, dishwasher](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100220000/100218000/100217954/1bc53901.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Gozo Holiday Apartment, Central Victoria!
