Why live in Sannat?
Ta’ Cenc
The cliffs and the garigue above them are the finest walking on Gozo.
Quiet
One of the stillest villages on either island.
Close to Victoria
Everything practical is a few minutes away.
Character property
Old stone houses and farmhouses, less picked over than the northern villages.
The lifestyle
Sannat is small and very quiet, and its appeal is the cliffs on its doorstep. Life happens in Victoria, which is close enough that the lack of amenities in the village matters less than it would elsewhere. The southern coast here is undeveloped and protected in parts, which is much of the attraction. Winters are still and dark. A car is necessary. For anyone who walks, or who wants a base that feels genuinely rural while being minutes from the island’s only town, it is one of the better choices on Gozo.
Property in Sannat
Farmhouses and old stone houses form the interesting part of the market, with townhouses in the core and a modest number of newer apartments. Outdoor space is usual and pools are common in the converted properties. The market is small; availability is limited and worth waiting for rather than settling on.
Who is this area best for?
Walkers
The best cliff walking in Gozo starts at the village.
Remote workers
Very quiet, close to Victoria, and beautiful.
Buyers wanting character
Less competed over than the northern villages.
Less suited to
Anyone needing amenities on the doorstep, and anyone without a car.
