- TrevorJWNewport Pagnell, United Kingdom97 contributionsModern set of workshops and shops with local craftsWorth a couple of hours. Very good Glass (GOZO Glass), Lace, Leather, Pottery, Metalwork and foodstuffs. There is an excellent air conditioned patisserie which is a must. Range of pasties, cakes and desserts to die for. There is an ATM outside but nearly all the shops take a card. Friendly people who are happy to chat. The Village is modern block buildings so not particular attractive in itself but the contents of the shops are good and many of the items are made on site and you can see the workshops and items being made.Visited October 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 21 October 2023
- Emilia A3 contributionsDefinitely worth a visit!Lovely little cafe. The food is simple and proudly served. The menu is varied and you can choose anything from breakfast to hearty pasta meals. The staff are very friendly and the food is delicious. Everything is cooked to order. The cafe is in the Craft Village which is worth a look round, but we visit just for a coffee and a snack. Highly recommended.Visited January 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 18 January 2024
- Erin B1 contributionLovely place to visit!Absolutely lovely little craft village, we spent an hour or so wandering and then an hour in the cafe. Maria’s lace is a particularly lovely shop, we picked up some handmade Gozitan lace and a lovely glass coaster. The owner was very helpful and pleasant to deal with. We were a little worried given one of the reviews on here, however it is made very clear by multiple signs in the shop that photography is not allowed, so anyone taking photos does so at their own peril. The cafe onsite is lovely, and very well priced! We paid just over €20 for 4 cakes/pastries, a few coffees and a savoury pastry. Well worth a visit!Visited July 2024Travelled with familyWritten 25 July 2024

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We were staying in the hotel next door and wondered here to explore. We were glad we stumbled on this as it had a good cafe (reasonably priced) along with ceramics, metal shop and glass among others.
Really worth it and especially the steel shop (Inkwina) as he made us this really unique gift on demand !

A nice please to visit for an hour or so to see some of the island’s artists at work. All very relaxed, we wandered from shop to shop speaking to the owners/artists.
There is a cafe and toilets on the site and easy parking. It is a short (3kms) taxi ride from the Citadel in Victoria.
Worth a visit if in the area and looking for something to do. Great on a wet day. I wound no go out if my way or cancel other arrangements to visit.
Probably allow 60 mins.

Using a mobility scooter was very difficult. Avoid what look like concrete ramps. I was ejected from my Minimus scooter and landed on my derrière and bumped my head. This was near Gozo glass shop. The neighbouring shopkeeper was exceedingly help and assisted my family in picking me up. Two very kind local ladies also immediately offered assistance.
Never the less there are no ramps suitable to go from the road to the pavements.

Visited Maria's lace shop and it was a fantastic experience. Home made high quality lace and was welcomed by a very kind man (the owner) who explained to us in detail all his quality products. Definitely recommend.

Local crafts, several units closed/empty. Worth a visit but not a long one! Usual lace, glass , pottery and jewellery and souvenirs.
Bit of a missed opportunity, could be so much better.

Went for a nice day out. Avoid Maria's Crafts and Yarn. Verbally aggressive shopkeeper comes charting at your shouting and spiting pointing fingers 2cm from your face. Horrible horrible old man.
