The Location - Your Gateway to Malta



The world-famous Silent City of Mdina is just a 3-minute walk from your door. Explore one of Europe's finest medieval walled cities, with its extraordinary baroque architecture, fascinating museums, and panoramic island views, all without needing transport. Step outside to discover traditional bakeries, authentic restaurants, neighborhood shops, banks, and cafés within easy walking distance. Nearby, Howard Gardens offers a peaceful landscaped park with views of Mdina and shaded benches, providing a tranquil retreat.



The bus terminal is literally meters from your door, making the entire island easily accessible. Head to Valletta, Malta's stunning capital city (11km), Sliema's waterfront promenade and shopping district (13km), or St. Julian's vibrant nightlife and dining scene (14km). Venture north to the dramatic Dingli Cliffs (5km) or the pristine beaches of Golden Bay, Gajn Tuffieha, and Mellieha (10km). Journey south to explore the historic Three Cities of Vittoriosa, Senglea, and Cospicua (12km), the UNESCO World Heritage temples of Hagar Qim and Mnajdra (13km), the stunning Blue Grotto sea caves (14km), or the picturesque fishing village of Marsaxlokk with its colorful traditional boats (15km).



Rabat itself is rich with archaeological wonders including the Roman Villa (Domus Romana), ancient catacombs, and St. Paul's Grotto, all within walking distance. Wander the narrow side streets where authentic Maltese daily life unfolds, then return to your historic hideaway. This is more than accommodation—it's your perfect base for discovering the real Malta.
