Calypso's Isle (accommodation)

Hotel Ta Cenc, Sannat

The Hotel Ta Cenc has an inimitable setting, scattered across the Ta Cenc cliffs, just near the town of SANNAT. This is the highest point on the island, and the views from the hotel’s 400 acres of ground sweep across the entire island to the sea, even taking in Malta and Comino.

Walkers spend 7 nights at the Ta Cenc and it is the base hotel for cyclists. The hotel is sensitively built on one level with the accommodation being in separate bungalows, scattered thoughtfully around a scented Mediterranean garden.

The rooms are spacious and all are equipped with satellite television, minibar, safety deposit box, air conditioning/ heating, direct dial telephones, a trouser press and en-suite bathrooms with hairdryers. All rooms have their own terrace.

Hotel Phoenicia, Malta

The Hotel Phoenicia is a large, elegant 5 star hotel just outside the old city walls of Malta’s capital, Valletta, and just 3 minutes walk from the city gate. It has retained its original architecture based on the grand style of the 1920’s, with a luxurious classical décor and a blend of warm hospitality and old world service.

Unusually for a city hotel, it has extensive and quiet rear gardens with an open-air rotunda, mini golf course, gazebo, and outdoor swimming pool (heated in winter)- A lovely place to stretch your legs or relax with a good book away from the hubbub of the city.
