Cornucopia Hotel

We returned yesterday from a brilliant week at the Cornucopia, was sad to leave this charming place. The building is charming, with a lot of character, especially the public areas. Our room was very large, overlooking the top pool, and had everything you should need for a comfortable break. Bathroom was large with a good shower and towels replaced daily. Tea and coffee were replenished every day, and having a fridge was very helpful. The lady who cleaned our room was fabulous, so smiley, she is a real credit to the hotel! All staff were excellent, so friendly, with good senses of humour ! Breakfast was plentiful, and the ladies were great at catering for my dietary requirements, I certainly didn’t struggle to eat! The hotel provided a packed breakfast as we had to check out early, so nice to be able to have a picnic on the ferry. The location of the hotel is perfect, with a view over the valley, a short walk up into the village square of Xaghra , where there are plentiful venues to eat and drink , we particularly enjoyed the coronation bar, all three bars/ cafes on the square do good food, and again, I had no issues finding food that I could eat. Recommend booking somewhere to eat in advance for the Wednesday evening live music event in the square ,is every other Wednesday ( we went on the 23rd July) .Also recommend a visit to Xerris grotto round the corner from the hotel, the grandson of the chap that discovered it gives you an interesting tour. We hired a car for two days which was great for discovering the island. We didn’t use buses as planned, as Uber and Bolt were very cheap . It was the celebration of St George the weekend we were there which was a spectacle to behold! Loved it. We used the fast ferry to visit Valetta, very convenient. All in all a brilliant week and would love to return, especially to the Cornucopia. I have holidayed on Gozo previously, but this hotel made this visit the best. Thank you for everything Claire and Richard ( room 69) xx
