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.

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 owner greeted me at the door. The check in process was 5 star. You are welcomed in seated given a tasty local beverage while the owner explains the layout and history of the hotel. The restaurant in the hotel is also 5 star the scallops were amazing the Amberjack was good. The room was great very comfortable bedding. The heated floors in the bathroom were great.
Everything was perfect. The hotel is beautiful, set in the beautiful Mdina, great location close to city gate where you can easily pick up a taxi. Our rooms were beautiful and comfortable with fabulous views, all the staff were wonderful. Amazing food in the restaurants, lovely breakfast. I would recommend it.
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.
Lovely hotel with a perfect location in the old town, a wonderful onsite Trattoria (went there repeatedly), and most of all, a staff which were accommodating, extremely pleasant and polite, efficient and effective -- i.e., perfect. This was a truly wonderful stay
Beautiful and comfortable hotel hidden in the alleyways of Mdina. The owners of the hotel were very kind and gracious, going above and beyond to provide for a pleasant stay. There was a rooftop with views of the city and a pool. Breakfast was very good as well.
Lovely classic terrace property in a fabulous location just inside Mdina city walls. Property agents were friendly, professional and very responsive, provided prompt and clear arrival instructions. Clean and modern interior still retaining classic charm.
Wonderful hotel within the Mdina walls. Exceptional breakfast. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. My room had a separate sitting room and a terrace with a hot tub. Magical in the evenings.
Gorgeous former home with 6 large rooms, excellent breakfast, family run but 5 star! The staff was amazing! I urge you to stay here!!! Such a lovely experience in the center of Mdina.
Beautiful building in the heart of Mdina.
Evenings are truly magical and the staff is extraordinarily helpful and friendly.
Rooftop terrace was beautiful for a drink or breakfast.
A beautiful boutique hotel, lovely attentive welcome by owner, special breakfasts. perfect location in Mdina to discover the Silent City after the buses have left.
