Whether your visit is purely leisure or a business one, step into the world of Hotel Calypso where our staff looks forward to your stay with us.

“Some islands seem to sink or swim, others appear to be anchored just the right distance from the continent, and then there are islands with human features, solitary, silent, enchanted and at times fortunate and blessed.“ On Gozo the past and the present merge into one. The old folk tell the young of ancient legends whose heroes were pirates and bandits. In the past the sea was a much feared enemy, since from it came conquerors. But today it is an irreplaceable and invaluable friend to the island. To really understand Gozo you must wander round its towns, villages, beaches, and countryside, the gently undulating hills which are dominatedby imposing church domes. All this and much more is Gozo. No wonder one always leaves Gozo with a heavy heart and a burning desire to return once again in the future.
