Spring is here! Some cold bouts may persist in early Gozitan spring days, but pleasant days of warm sunshine will not be amiss. Spring is without doubt the best time to visit Gozo.   As spring rolls on, it is time to think of a spring holiday in Gozo.  Maybe you fancy a snug weekend break, a perky Easter jaunt or a laid-back and blissful break in May.

Plan out your accommodation.  Opt for a luxury holiday in Gozo at a 5-star hotel or a lavish boutique hotel. Alternatively, sojourn in a charming and cosy farmhouse with your family or friend brigade.  For nature lovers, a countryside holiday is a delight as you’ll be in the middle of nature in full bloom.  Yet there is no doubt that staying in the village core is a way of relishing the vibe of the locals.
