to get started.

Top Location! Impressed. The palace is beautiful. Breakfast is very good and the staff is very helpful and friendly.

Isabelle, Belgium

The bed turn-down service was special - there was a scroll parchment with a poem written on it, and chocolates on our pillows. The jacuzzi was amazing, and was on our balcony, so we had a breath-taking view while we soaked. The staff were especially friendly and helpful, and made us feel so special and pampered! Even my 3 year old son formed a bond with the staff.

Elisha, United Kingdom

Very special and beautiful hotel in Mdina! Top location! Nice public areas! Well kept! Superb restaurant, but very expensive!

Rolf, Portugal

I stayed here during a very bad storm with a government warning not to venture outdoors. The hotel was the best place to be in these circumstances. My bedroom on an upper deck was an extremely cosy hideaway! Breakfast was wonderful!

Jennifer, United Kingdom

Everything. Very luxurious suite and very comfortable.

Stephen, Malta

The Xara Palace is such a peaceful place, in a beautiful and quiet setting. The rooms and public areas are tastefully furnished, and the staff are very hospitable.

Julian, United Kingdom

The location is divine and the staff were absolutely charming. Our stay for our anniversary was superb.

Margaret, United Kingdom

Once you step inside the hotel you are left wondering . You can see how much dedication have been but In the hotel . Great beding super comfortable room and amazing view . Breakfast was superb .

Matthew, Malta

The New Year's Day Lunch was superb in every way. The food and service were impeccable. The room was very comfortable but the room was a bit stuffy. We did open the window but then that made the room noisy as our window opened up on the street and at 6am trucks were unloading produce for the hotel. Overall though it was a very relaxing, luxury stay!

Jenny, Malta

We loved the location and also the building. Full of antiques, gracious, comfortable, Fabulous and very attentive staff - let me mention Uma from Serbia, she remembers everything and is a great source of information. Fabulous dinners and breakfast. Dining room cosy and warm. Old building with a lot of history with great views over the landscape. They make you feel at home if you are not looking for nightlife but for a quiet place where you can relax and sleep. Beds are very comfortable and large, inviting to a very good sleep. But above all, the staff make your visit worthwhile.

An inside look at The Xara Palace Relais & Chateaux

The Xara Palace, now a family-run, exclusive, boutique Hotel, originally served as a residence for the noble family Moscati Parisio. It was used by the British during the war. In 1996, the property was bought by the Zammit Tabona family with a vision to restore the building to its former glory, and for the delight of discerning visitors, to create a unique hotel experience, previously unavailable on the Maltese Islands. The Xara Palace is a magical place of charm, character and calm, a haven to the senses.
