Foresteria Ogygia
Situated in Gharb, Malta, Foresteria Ogygia is a hotel. Għarb, whose name simply means "west", is a charming village in the far west of Gozo and the home of the Ta' Pinu Basilica, the island's great national shrine. With its fine Baroque church and rural setting near Dwejra, it is one of Gozo's most atmospheric corners. As a licensed hotel in Malta, it forms part of the island's regulated accommodation network — one of the most visitor-friendly in the Mediterranean. Staying in Gharb gives guests a practical base from which to explore Malta, an island where no destination is more than an hour's drive from any other. The Maltese islands sit at the centre of the Mediterranean Sea, roughly equidistant between Sicily and the North African coast. Despite covering less than 400 square kilometres in total, Malta packs in three UNESCO World Heritage Sites and some of the oldest free-standing structures on earth. The property maintains an official website at foresteriaogygia.com, where guests can find further details and make bookings. Current availability for the property is listed on Booking.com and other international travel booking sites.
