As travelers increasingly seek ways to reduce their carbon footprint, sustainable travel is no longer a niche trend—it’s a movement. Gozo, Malta’s tranquil sister island, offers a perfect blend of untouched landscapes, eco-conscious activities, and accommodations that honor tradition. At Gozo Stays, we’re proud to provide farmhouse rentals that celebrate sustainability while immersing guests in the island’s rustic charm.

Why Gozo is a Sustainable Travel Destination
1. Low-Impact Accommodations:
Our restored farmhouses use traditional Maltese architecture, featuring natural limestone walls and solar-powered energy. By staying in a heritage property, you’re preserving history *and* reducing modern resource consumption. Â
2. Farm-to-Table Culture:
Gozo’s small-scale farms supply fresh, hyper-local ingredients. Pair your stay with visits to family-run wineries (like Ta’ Mena Estate) or a cooking class using seasonal produce. Â
3. Car-Free Exploration:
With compact villages and scenic trails, Gozo is ideal for walking, cycling, or electric buggy tours. Skip the rental car and hike from your farmhouse to landmarks like the Ä gantija Temples (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). Â
