The Xara Palace Relais & Chateaux, hotel in Mdina

The Xara Palace Boutique Hotel is a unique 17th-century palace hidden away in the medieval fortified city of Mdina, the old capital of Malta.

We used 2 rooms to prepare for our wedding in Rabat. The hotel is amazing with amazing views. I wished to have maltese history as part of our photoshoot and this hotel was the only one that ticked all the boxes.. I loved our rooms and my photos came out perfect ☺️

Palazzo Bifora, hotel in Mdina

Palazzo Bifora features an outdoor swimming pool, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Mdina. With free WiFi, this 5-star hotel offers room service and a concierge service.

This was an exceptional hotel with the friendliest staff. The hotel was beautiful, especially the bifora windows. The small but impactful gestures were appreciated like the chocolates left in our room each day. The staff always greeted us with a smile. The food was just as good as everything else. The experience of staying here felt bespoke and was very peaceful given its location in the silent city of Mdina. Highly recommended.

Salini Resort, hotel in Mdina

Set on a gentle slope overlooking the Salina Bay and the Mediterranean Sea, the 4-star Salini Resort offers 2 outdoor pools. The spacious and stylish rooms come with either sea or countryside views.

Only the breakfast but considering we had cockroaches in our room I would hate to think what is going on in their kitchen.

    Absolutely amazing place with the best views across the island. There's so much history to see and experience and loads of choice for food. Definitely wander out of the main gate and over to Crystal Palace for the best Pastizzi, and Fontanella's on the city wall is a must.

    Mdina is nice for a few hours but there’s not a lot to do if you have done all the museums, cathedrals and archaeological sites in other parts of Malta and Gozo as we had done. It’s very historical with lovely glassware and silver jewellery in the quaint little shops. It was a nice place to chill out after a hectic few days elsewhere on Malta.

    A truly spectacular ancient small walled city.

    A truly spectacular ancient small walled city. The downside of this being the sheer number of tourists, however in the early morning or latter in the evening when they have left it has a serenity , it is wonderful then to just wander the ancient streets.

    This place is a hidden gem in Mdina with an amazing host. We spent our engagement day and night at Palazzo Bifora and we couldn’t wish for anything better than this. Lovely infrastructure and decoration, beautiful rooms and detailed amenities. The rooftop has an amazing view, a heated pool and a great bar for snacks and drinks. The breakfast is truly delicious and the host accomodated the time because we had to leave earlier to catch our flight. If you ever are in Malta, don’t look anywhere else, this is the best place to stay.

    Very spacious and very well equipped property. Loved the uniqueness of the layout and in the height of summer the pool area was an excellent facility to be able to enjoy. It felt like we were living in a part of Mdina's history. As a base for visiting Malta, Mdina is ideally placed, with taxis and local buses easy to pick up from the main gate. Peter and his staff couldn't be more helpful throughout the duration of our stay.

    Our stay was 8 nights for our 30th Wedding Anniversary. Nothing was to much trouble for the staff. They ordered taxis, restaurants, arranged guided tours around Valletta and dropped us each day at the pool. The hotel was exceptional, with lots of history and was in the walled city of Mdina. It had everything you needed, including a Michelin Star restaurant with an amazing view and a pleasant bistro set in a courtyard.

    Palazzo Bifora was a beautiful surprise upon arrival. We were made to feel so welcome. Greeted with ice cold Kinnies and given a tour of the hotel once we arrived. The staff were all so lovely and accommodating. The rooms are heaven. The rooftop restaurant and rooftop pool were something to behold. Wonderful atmosphere. If you are visiting Mdina, you must stay here. You won't regret it.

    Xara Palace is an absolute gem in historic Mdina! The staff were super kind. Valentina welcomed us and made sure we were comfortably ensconced in our room. Jackie at the restaurant was so friendly and kind as were the other staff. All the staff are super friendly and professional. The location and the lovely building with its spectacular views made for a memorable experience.

    The view from the terrace was stunning and a great place to eat breakfast which was also amazing! The staff were lovely and the building it just stunning! Walking around Mdina at night was beautiful so staying in the city walls made you feel like you lived there. I would come back in a heartbeat.
