Overview

 
Converted from a 300-year-old Gozitan farmhouse and perched high above a lush valley, Cornucopia Hotel Gozo is a small, family-run hideaway with stone arches, beamed ceilings and sweeping countryside views all the way towards the sea. This adults-only bolthole pairs old-world charm with two inviting pools, relaxed terraces and a genuinely homely feel just a stroll from Xagħra’s pretty village square.

Warm stone walls, climbing bougainvillea and valley views give Cornucopia Hotel Gozo an authentic farmhouse feel. Think intimate sun terraces, curved pool edges framed by old olive trees and cosy corners inside where you can curl up with a glass of local wine after a day exploring the island. For couples seeking Malta and Gozo’s charm with a slower, rural pace, Cornucopia Hotel Gozo delivers the perfect balance. It’s around 3 hours 40 minutes from the airport including the scenic ferry crossing to Gozo. See more Malta and Gozo holidays.

Map & location


Gozo, Malta and Gozo, Malta

Cornucopia Hotel Gozo sits on the edge of Xagħra, one of the island’s most charming hilltop villages, overlooking a quiet valley carpeted with citrus groves and farms. You’re close enough to wander down to the main square for an evening spritz or a leisurely dinner, yet far enough away to feel cocooned in the countryside.

Gozo itself is all about a slower pace: honey-stone villages, dramatic coastal cliffs, red-sand Ramla Bay and some of the best diving in the Mediterranean. From the hotel you can easily explore Victoria’s Citadel, the Ġgantija Temples and tucked-away coves by local bus, hire car or taxi.

  • Approx. transfer time from Malta International Airport (MLA), including ferry crossing 3 hours 40 minutes (subject to schedules and traffic).

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


Life at Cornucopia tends to revolve around its two outdoor freshwater pools, tucked into stone terraces with valley views. One pool is more peaceful for quiet sunbathing, while the second features a children’s section and a whirlpool, ideal for a gentle soak.

Both pool areas offer sunbeds and parasols, with complimentary pool towels provided so you can travel light. Facilities or atmosphere can vary slightly between the two pools and by season.

The nearest sandy beach is about 3.3km away, with Gozo’s coastline easily explored by local transport or hire car. Ramla Bay, with its distinctive red-gold sand, and Xlendi Bay, loved for its swimming and seaside restaurants, are both within a short drive.

Spa, sports & wellness


While there’s no full spa or gym on site, Cornucopia Hotel Gozo leans into slow living: long pool days, countryside walks and unhurried evenings in the bar or TV lounge.

On-site you’ll find:
• Billiards room for relaxed games
• TV room with lounge-style seating
• Occasional evening entertainment in summer (around June–September), often live music

Facilities, frequency and opening hours are based on previous seasons and may change.
