Set in a stunningly renovated farmhouse in Xlendi Valley, Cesca Boutique Hotel charms with spacious rooms, lush views, and a serene rooftop pool—perfect for a romantic getaway.
"Why we love it: A converted farmhouse in the Xlendi Valley offering traditional charm and sweeping views The Highlights: - Superior rooms with private balconies and outdoor Jacuzzis - Original details like stone walls and Maltese tiles in the suites - A rooftop pool with panoramic views of the valley The Review: Nestled in the Xlendi Valley on the island of Gozo, Cesca Boutique Hotel was once surrounded by a working farm. While the original owners were focused on growing cotton, their great-grandsons, who now own and operate the property, turned the 350-year-old farmhouse into a luxurious boutique hotel, complete with 15 guestrooms done up in lace-print wallpaper and elegant furnishings. All rooms feature marble bathrooms with walk-in rain showers and balconies with epic valley views, while superior options also boast outdoor Jacuzzis. Three additional suites even include original stone walls, columns, and Maltese tiles, plus extras like a separate seating area, free-standing bathtub, and decorative fireplace. Elsewhere in the hotel, guests will find a rooftop pool with scenic vistas and an indoor-outdoor restaurant and bar, which serves a large breakfast spread each morning, lunch a few days a week, and dinner nightly. Should you wish to get out and explore, Cesca is within walking distance of the towns of Victoria and Xlendi, making for easy sightseeing."
This is a wonderfully run boutique hotel. Ideal for couples looking to get away from it all but close enough to Xlendi harbour with its restaurants and bars to make an evening out. |Special mention to Mara , her brother and Moma ( the cook) who did everything to make our stay enjoyable. Breakfast was good with a continental style buffet or a cooked to order option with freshly ground coffee. During the day drinks were available from the bar by Mara and her brother. Front of house was Grace, Carmelino and Alison who were most helpful and nothing was too much trouble.|The downside was that there was no restaurant for lunch or dinner and the bar was not available at night. As we were out most evenings it didn’t really matter to us . Lunch if you wanted it was available from a raft of BOLT outlets that would deliver. You need to download the BOLT App for taxis and food. Rooms were large and kept clean. |We understand that the hotel has changed hands and they will be looking to provide a restaurant service and bar. |In all we had a wonderful stay and would go back. The level of service was intimate and superb|Thank you for making the stay a pleasure |David and Un

We stayed here as part of a wedding for two nights. We were met by the lovely Grace on the front desk. She was so helpful. I realised when I went to the room there wasn’t a kettle but only a coffee machine. I asked for a kettle and was given one immediately. She is a true asset to the hotel and to the guest experience.||We stayed in room 303 which was beautifully appointed. If I could improve it any way it would be to have a makeup mirror by the dressing table. I had to sit by the side of the table and use the long mirror which wasn’t ideal. But there was a makeup mirror in the bathroom but I prefer to sit to do mine. ||We had a huge free standing bath with a shower attachment in it. I personally would have preferred a free standing shower as I found it hard to get in and out of the bath.||The bed was so comfy.||There were slippers, a gorgeous robe, safe.||The views from our balcony was magnificent. ||The swimming pool was a tad cold but would be lovely on a hot day. ||Breakfast was magnificent, fresh and tasty. ||The wedding was beautiful and we loved the food. ||Did I tell you how fab the staff were? ||We had a fabulous couple of days and I would highly recommend ||We arrived by bus and it was only a couple of minutes walk from the bus stop.

We had a 4 day stay at this small boutique hotel. The room was beautiful and looked out onto the countryside. It was spotless. My only criticism would be that the hairdryer was one of those attached to the wall and very slow, as a lady I would have preferred the table to have a mirror and plug. As others have said, a kettle in the room would have been most welcome. Having said that, it did not detract from our stay, the beautiful sun bed towels, tasty breakfasts, gorgeous roof top chairs and pool. Also the staff are very accommodating. The hotel is about a 10/12 min downhill walk to Xlendi, a small resort by the sea with a lovely selection of restaurants.

Beautiful, spacious room and large bed. Breakfast served in the restaurant with great views. The rooftop pool was perfect for the hot weather. Staff are very helpful and booked dinner for us at a fabulous restaurant in town. The water/town is just a 2 min drive away.
Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful restored building with an authentic charm and a great location near the trendy waterfront of Xlendi. Rooms are super clean and spacious. Bed was extremely comfortable and showers with real high pressure hot water. Pool area a great place to chill and gaze at the view of nearby cliffs. Breakfast buffet was simple but a la carte eggs very tasty and great coffee. The best part of my 3 night stay was the extremely helpful and accommodating front desk who helped me with all my requests. Will definitely stay here again on my next diving holiday!

Overall quite disappointed given the high relative price point. This is a self described luxury and boutique hotel, but it did not meet the standards of either sadly. For example, we were sat on the (beautiful) roof terrace and asked to order a drink, but were told the bar was not open and to get a drink from the mini bar in the room. The breakfast could have also been of better quality, eg the avocado on the toast was clearly pre-made and a purée, and not fresh or from a real avocado. I would not normally be so picky, but at this price point we expected more and have had much better experiences at other similarly priced hotels. The rooms were very nice (although to use the plugs you need to physically move the bedside table) and the staff were friendly. It is just a shame that there was not much attention to detail, especially as we booked this as an anniversary stay (which we mentioned!).
