From high ground in the Gozo village of Xagħra, this twelve-room hotel gives you a long view across Marsalforn Valley to Our Saviour's Hill.
Hotel, Xagħra. Meridian Dispatch.
By bus or car to Ċirkewwa, then the Gozo Channel ferry to Mġarr. Airport Direct TD1 leaves the airport hourly from 5am until midnight and reaches Ċirkewwa in about an hour to an hour and a half, depending on the time of day. The ferry runs daily and the crossing takes about 25 minutes.
Yes, for passengers without a vehicle. The fast ferry sails from Grand Harbour in Valletta to Mġarr Harbour in Gozo in about 45 minutes. Airport Direct TD4 links the airport with the Gozo Fast Ferry terminal every 30 minutes.
Yes. The hotel states that all of its floors are easily reached by a large elevator, so suitcases do not have to be carried up flights of stairs to the rooms.
Yes, a rooftop pool for guests. The hotel presents it as a place to take the Mediterranean sun over a typical Gozo village landscape, and each room listing includes pool access.
The rooms range from standard double rooms with a balcony to spacious top-floor rooms in penthouse style, which have a large terrace looking out over Gozo's countryside and the sea.
Each room has air conditioning, Wi-Fi, a TV, a safe, a mini fridge, coffee facilities and a hairdryer, along with a universal adapter and a wardrobe. The hotel lists a Sleepwell mattress in every room type.
Il-Logga started out as a private residence, and the hotel puts the building's age at almost 400 years. During the First World War it was a wine bar, before its conversion into a hotel and restaurant.
Inside, the rooms are traditionally themed. The building also houses Il-Logga Restaurant.
Xagħra sits on a plateau, and the hotel stands on its high ground. On clear days, the hotel says, Sicily shows on the horizon.
The same plateau holds Ġgantija, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, whose temples stand at its edge. You do not need to cross the island to reach one of Gozo's best-known sights: it is in the hotel's own village.
The address to give a driver is Church Street, Xagħra. The Superior Room has a private south-facing terrace with space to sunbathe, and another room type comes with a large terrace and a view.
Every room includes use of the rooftop pool. At check-in, choose one of the two morning breakfast slots, which are taken first come, first served.
Dinner needs no drive. The hotel's own dining room serves a mix of local and international cuisine, so a day of touring Gozo can end at the hotel.
Xagħra's parish basilica, the Nativity of Our Lady, keeps its feast day on 8 September. Inside is a marble statue of the young Virgin Mary, known as Il-Bambina.
If you bring a car, nothing is paid at Ċirkewwa on the way over. The round-trip ticket for car and driver is validated at Mġarr, in the vehicle marshalling area, when you return to Malta.
Nearest first, all within 14 minutes on foot from the door.
