“Cheap & cheerful, but pleasant hotel”

The hotel sells itself as 4 star - it is certainly not; based on the vast experience of staying in hundreds of hotels worldwide, this is barely 2-start going on 3-star establishment. There are good points though: it is really secluded, nice views, quiet, peaceful, has fairly clean rooms, ok-ish pools and plenty of sun-beds. The problems are: it is really run down (missing lamp shades, 70s air-conditioning systems and bathrooms,) pools are not clean, cheap green grass-look-alike material around the pools looked particularly unpleasant. If you are after a cheap, but pleasant-enough break, this is the place to go. If you want a bit more refinement, avoid it.

Area recommendations
Entire Gozo is lovely to explore; we recommend dinner in sister Ta'Cenc hotel Il Carrubo restaurant (outside space under the Carob tree) - lovely atmosphere, wonderful food and great service.
When to go
Sep-Oct is the best.

“Nice and relaxing”

Located in a quiet neigborhood away from main square. Nice quiet room. Helpful staff. Good restaurant with friendly staff. Would definitely stay there if we go back to Gozo!

“A friendly & charming hotel in a quiet area”

A charming hotel with very friendly and helpful staff in one of the nicest locations on Gozo. We arrived at 6am after a night time flight and a ferry crossing and were pretty travel warn. So it was wonderful to have a friendly greeting from a 24 hour manned reception desk. We were fit for bed but were told we must have some breakfast after our journey so the restaurant was opened especially early for us - Wonderful. We eat only one evening at the hotel and the food was excellent. It's a real gem of a place on an island where in many areas it has become over developed - being a couple of miles away from the Gozo coast this is not the case here. Parking was also easy for the hire car and there are nice restaurants in the small town nearby (easy walking distance).

“perfect for winding down.”

The Cornucopia isnt pretentious, it isnt modern, what it is, is old fashioned elegance, with staff who go out of their way to be helpful ( something we didnt find in some other Maltese hotels). the location is deffinately, " of the beaten track" but the setting is stunning with amazing views across the north of the island. Dont miss the oportunity to try the food at "Ta Frenc" (just over a mile away). without doubt the best on Gozo or Malta and not as pricey as some reviews suggest ( try the fixed price 4 courses). all in all I would deffinately recommend this hotel, but if you want to explore the remote bays and coves, get a car.

Area recommendations
Try to see as much of the island as you can. Its not that big.
Dining
As stated above Ta frenc in Gozo. On Malta try Bouquet Garnet in Mellieha, but avoid Guiseppies ( also in Mellieha) overpriced and extremely obnoxious staff.

“Excellent option for a stay in Gozo”

Cornucopia is well known as a popular hotel in Gozo. My favorite feature: its two pools and an unheated whirlpool. Oh, and the two cats that hang out in the courtyard. Breakfast is provided. The staff are friendly--like everyone in Malta, it seems. The hotel is in Xaghra, a village with temples that are the world's oldest freestanding structures. There are some good restaurants in the town's main square.

Area recommendations
I recommend the ancient temples, which are about 6,000 years old (the world's oldest, in fact). They're located on the edge of the village. Also, the town square is a great place for dinner.
Getting there
You can take a taxi from the ferry landing. I think that runs about 12 euro. You could also take a bus to Victoria and then, take a bus to Xaghra. Another option is to get on a hop-on, hop-off bus since they stop in Xaghra.
Getting around
There are rather infrequent buses to Victoria, the bus hub of the island. There's also a hop-on, hop-off bus that goes to the island's top sites. While the location is perhaps a bit less convenient than Victoria, the village atmosphere in Xaghra and view of the countryside more than make up for this. Plus, Victoria is close enough that I actually walked back to the hotel from there.

“A wonderful hotel”

Cornucopia is a very high standard hotel with personal service, the sort of which has become rare. Our room was very comfortable. Atmosphere was welcoming. All hotel staff were always friendly, helpful and most attentive. Breakfast and supper - we had half board - were abundant and varied (including local specialities and wines). Weather was still winterish during our stay, but the swimming pools must be quite an attraction in warmer seasons. On the other hand, the carnival days supplied a lot of color and joy.

Area recommendations
Though Xaghra, where the hotel is located , has a characteristic square, it is the quiet and small island of Gozo as a whole which offers quite a few attractions, from pre-hstoric temples to interesting churches, and a beautiful nature. People everywhere were very friendly and helpful. The main island too has many interesting sites.

“We look forward to going back.”

The hotel is an attractive building which has been well restored and has a lot of character. All the staff are committed to guests' well being and are well informed and helpful. We appreciated this and we saw how helpful they were to other guests as well. Our room was somewhat cold and a little bare, with no carpet. However it was comfortable and adequately equipped and very clean, but smelt strongly of the disinfectant they use which is not a very pleasant smell. We had dinner in the dining room one evening and felt it was good value and enjoyable. The breakfast buffet which was included in our rate was also good and a nice touch was that we were voluntarily offered freshly cooked eggs as then ones that had been kept hot had gone a litte rubbery. Little touches like this mean a lot. Thee are some good walks in the vicinity, and Xhagra, 5 minutes walk to the centre, has some interesting historical sites to visit, but a few hours is sufficient, and is connected to Victoria and the rest of the island by a bus service a few times a day. The buses are a fun part of the experience of a trip to the Maltese Islands and not to be missed. Xaghra also has two excellent restaurants in the square, under joint ownership. We look forward to another trip to Gozo in warmer weather and will definitely stay at the Cornucopia.

When to go
February is the coldest month on Malta. We had one day which was ideal for walking and another cool blustery day.

“Will return”

Our second visit. Although the room was not as nice as the visit everything else was. The staff are lovely because of the down turn there was plenty of room around the pool. The breakfast was plentiful though no fresh juice and no full english. The evening meal is good value 3 choices from 3 courses for 17 euro. All in all for a quiet get away from the bustle holiday I doubt it can be beaten.

“Pleasant getaway”

We had 2 nights here out of 7 in Malta & Gozo. The rooms look on to one of the two pools,and one range has sea views. There are many flowers and shady areas amongst the sun loungers. Room decor was rather tired; we had 2 dinners here, which were of local dishes, well presented. It's hard to find the hotel and the directions from the desk given were rather misleading

Traveller's tip
Close to Gigantija temples and an easy drive to the island's capital and coasts

Gozo, Malta: At 15 kilometres long, the island of Gozo is Malta’s small neighbour, six kilometres away by ferry. Unlike Malta, Gozo has not been developed for mass tourism and has a calm atmosphere. It offers pretty coves, quiet old villages, spectacular coastal formations and its Ggantija temples, the oldest structures in the world. Its attractive little historic capital, Victoria, is built around a citadel.
