An absolute gem of a place . Stunning location . Hotel was spotlessly clean and the furnishings were very tasteful. The roof top pool was the best place to relax after a day sightseeing .The staff couldn’t have been more helpful and we will definitely return again

Gorgeous place in picturesque views
They were fantastic with their service and extra special treatment. The room was clean and perfectly kept with a lovely view. The rest of the hotel was very quiet, no loud screaming guests. Breakfast was perfectly fine, the only issue we had was that the bar was closed from after bfast till midday meaning you couldn’t but a bottle of water or beer anything, that was the only downside but otherwise a great place I’d 100% stay at again

Breakfast is the only thing that is disappointing, not so much to choose from but overall still ok. But hotel is amazing, beds are super comfortable, staff is very helpful and location/design is something completely different!

One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Rooms are very nice, all with great view and very clean. Beautiful swimming pool. The big surprise was the restaurant, for dinner; the food is so good, it will be a mistake not to eat there! Every dish was so delicious and very professional service. Would love to go back. Only one thing needs a change: the shower-head in the bathroom. The stream of water comes out of it like needles, not pleasant on the skin.

The hotel is decorated to high standard and incredibly clean, pool and roof terrace beautiful. We visited in October so it was about 25 degrees Celsius and fairly busy however the hotel did not make it clear that not only does the restaurant not open on certain days, but the bar / ability to get coffees is not available between 10am-6pm on many of the days we were there. It would have been easier to plan our time if the service availability was made clear when we arrived or when we booked to manage our expectations and allow us to plan our days better. The turn over in our room also often left used mugs/ glasses rather than replace them. Overall an enjoyable stay, with some small areas for improvement

Excellent place to stay if you want to get away from the crowds. Hotel decor is unique and everything was well done. We really enjoyed our time by the pool, many times we were the only ones there. The only thing that wasn't perfect was that they are not to quick to remove the dirty dishes from the pool area. Breakfast was excellent. Dinner was good but portion size were very small.

Disappointing Stay
We stayed for 3 nights at Cesca. While Gozo was quite beautiful, the hotel and restaurant were a disappointment. Our main issue was regarding the fact this is listed as a boutique hotel, but does not put it’s guests as the priority. For all 3 nights during our stay there were private events being held in the restaurant. These led to noisy evenings—especially during our last night when we could hear loud music beyond midnight. This was not what we expected when booking a charming room for a relaxing, recharging vacation during the off-season. The room had some nice touches—especially the bathtub—but the fireplace (which was listed as an amenity) was not functioning and all electrical outlets are for UK connections. Both of these should be mentioned in the listing so that guests are prepared. The room also had a less than ideal smell of cheap air fresheners. We would recommend that the hotel use local Gozitan products to make for a better experience for guests. Lastly, parking is quite dangerous as the hotel is located along a high-speed road with only a shoulder to park on. It would be in Cesca’s best interest to figure out a safe solution—even if it means that guests need to walk a bit. All in all, we felt that this hotel was vastly overpriced and did not exhibit the experience one seeks when staying at a boutique hotel.

Dear Ryan, Thank you for choosing CESCA for your stay in Gozo. We are glad you enjoyed the beauty of the island at this quiet time of year. We are on the other hand sorry to hear that your stay did not live up to your expectations. The restaurant is a separate entity where private events do get booked at times, however loud music until late (for which we apologise) is an exception. In our Queen Classic Suite the fireplace is not usually lit. It is more a special feature of the old Gozitan style building. Regarding parking there is space to park a little further down the road. In Malta, type G plugs and sockets are the official standard just like the British plug and socket system. We would like to take this opportunity to wish you all the best for the festive season. Kind regards, Nicola & the CESCA Team

Great Stay
The hotel was lovely, well appointed and clean. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The location is good for walking and central to the small sea cove and Victoria which can be easily walked to in 7-15 minutes. My only issue is that the hotel should be more transparent on the parking situation. There is no on site parking and if you are lucky (only 2-3 spaces) and able to park extremely close to the wall you can park within the white line outside the hotel. There is further on street parking about 100 metres further down the road where it is easier and safer to park. It was not a major issue for us but better clarity would be helpful. The roof top pool is small but well appointed, and the views over the valley are spectacular. The breakfasts are also very good. We really enjoyed our three night stay, and would come again.

Lovely hotel, but map location is deceiving and much further up the road from the town that the map would suggest. Ebookers have done nothing to correct this and continues to remain on the map in the wrong place. If you are walking the hotel requires a long and dark walk along a main road to reach the nearest town which is far from ideal

Simply amazing to stay in. Cleanliness is impeccable and the hotel is very well maintained with several beautiful original architectural features, especially in the dining and lobby area. Parking might be a bit restrictive just in front of the hotel but there is plenty of parallel parking just a few hundred meters further down the road. Hotel staff were very welcoming and super friendly. All standard hotel rooms have a wonderful view overlooking the valley leading to Xlendi. Just bliss! Would definitely go again.

Lovely modern boutique hotel out of the main town which makes it very peaceful. The rooms were spacious and spotlessly clean.
