5 stars for this 5 star!
This newly opened (November ‘22,) beautifully renovated and meticulously designed boutique hotel in the magical “silent city” of Mdina, is an experience unto itself. Owner operators, Omar and Sandra, worked on their family property for five years transforming the historic house into a six suite, luxury hotel worthy of a spread in a design or luxury travel magazine!
We so enjoyed our stay at this establishment and cannot think of a better way to begin our journey in Malta! Our single regret is that we only booked for one night. For how will we ever know the true scope of the 50+ piece pillow menu? Or get to try all the selections from the delicious breakfast menu? Indeed we never even had a chance to crack a book in the library of our ‘Aragona’ suite, nor while away the hours in the heated rooftop swimming pool!
We did however enjoy a sleep fit for kings under the pineapple lamp shade created by the Royal family’s lamp maker, and hung from such a lofty height! Matched only by the huge window with insignia, a centre piece of the building, and draped in 4 metre long silk curtains. Resplendent indeed!
After fine dining and Maltese wine as per Omar’s excellent recommendations, we wandered thru every winding alley in Mdina at midnight. Having the sleeping town completely to ourselves! Totally enchanting! We felt as if in a medieval movie set, and indeed several scenes from the series ‘Game of Thrones’ were filmed there.
Thank you Omar, Sandra
