It offered easy walking access to historical sites, and its proximity to the central bus depot allowed us to make many memorable journeys to other parts of the island (beaches and/or historical places of interest).

We greatly preferred our independent trips to a couple of organised ones we paid for and would recommend being as independent as possible.

The accommodation was very clean and comfortable, with white towelling bathrobes a super accessory for early morning walks down to the pool and back.

The pool itself was beautifully located overlooking the harbour, and had a bar serving food and drinks all day (our only disappointment here was when we were forced to leave one evening because a wedding party had booked the location).

We booked B&B, with the delicious and varied buffet-style breakfast keeping most of us going until dinner. The local restaurants, often family run, were fun to discover each evening and never disappointed (and were much better value than the hotel restaurants).

Our family (ranging in age from 8 - 70 years of age) stayed for one week, which was ideal - any longer and we would probably have started to run out of new things to do. During our stay we celebrated the 70th birthday of one of our family members and the hotel staff added to the occasion by baking a special cake and delivering a birthday card!

If you wish to visit Gozo and/or Comino Islands we would recommend doing this independently. We found the organised trip to Gozo expensive and disappointing.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11890 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9299 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9299 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9065 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9065
