The Segond Hotel’s elegance jumps out at you, a departure from the typical villa/farmhouse-style properties found on the islands, and the result is a boutique hotel offering a harmony of luxury with horizon-spanning views of the beautiful Gozitan coast. From suites with private pools to large ones for families, all the rooms are light and airy and feature plasma TVs, high-speed internet, mini fridges and all the other little extras you expect from a highbrow hotel. If you like spicy food, you’ll be like a pig in truffles at Francie’s, the hotel’s acclaimed on-site Indian restaurant. The restaurant is also serving Turkish with a variety of salads, burgers and pizzas.
