Malta • Gozo
The Island of Gozo Gozo is the tiny sister isle of Malta. The islands are, together, no bigger than the Isle of Wight but they host an enormous variety of visual and historic richness. The weather is typically Mediterranean, and the Gozitans are wonderfully welcoming, perhaps because they have been invaded and colonised throughout history - Phoenicians, Romans, Turks, Italians, French and English have all left their mark on the Maltese psyche, looks, landscape and language. Maltese is the only Semitic language written in the Roman alphabet and although its roots are Aramaic, it is peppered with all the other languages of its past.
Where we stay
In Gozo we offer holidays based at two different hotels – one friendly family-run
hotel right on the waterfront which is very good value, and one luxury hotel with
a spa, which is more expensive but offers excellent value for those travelling solo
as there is no single supplement.
Hotel Ta Cenc A luxury hotel in the south of the island. Beautiful lounges, pools, a spa, luxurious bedrooms and a private beach make this option a bit of a treat.
Hotel San Andrea A simple but charming hotel, with en-suite rooms and great food, all managed by a lovely family. Right on the waterfront there's no need for a pool. Sea rooms available at extra cost.
Airport transfer time
Transfer time for both hotels is approximately 1½ hours including ferry. |
