Fantastic house in a perfect location in Rabat, brilliantly restored and extended by the owners. Yes there are stairs... lots of them... but it just adds to the character. Stayed as a family of 4 - the small kitchen had everything we needed, fab air-con in bedrooms, laundry room was useful post-beach etc. Highlight was the lovely roof terrace which we used every day for dinner or relaxing with drinks. Hope to return one day - wonderful base to explore Malta.

“Rabat and Mdina are within walking distance of the unique and well-restored house. It has everything you need, including”
The location was perfect for exploring both Rabat and Mdina within walking distance to just about everything. The house was incredibly unique and well restored with so many small details that really need to be seen to appreciate. We had everything we needed, including dish washer, washing machine and dryer. The beds were comfortable with lovely linen that made for an excellent nights sleep. Kitchen was well equiped if you wanted to dine in but also so many great restaurants near by to choose from.

The location in the heart of Rabat was absolutely fantastic. The house itself was lovely, full of charming features that made our stay extra special. The stairs gave us a daily workout—perfect preparation for indulging in another delicious Maltese pastry! It was an easy stroll to Mdina, and we enjoyed most of our meals on the balcony, soaking in the wonderful views. There were plenty of cosy coffee shops nearby and even a 24-hour bakery for late-night cravings.

“A really lovely house with everything you need for a comfortable stay.”
The house has been beautifully renovated to provide an airy, light and welcoming property. It is centrally situated in the town and it provides lots of space to spread out and has really effective aircon. Very quick and helpful responses to any messages sent to the property. I would definitely recommend the house but if you have mobility issues then there are lots of stairs to negotiate.

“A dive into the past with all comforts.”
The position it’s perfect, you are in the middle of the island. It was amazing to go jogging in Mdina every morning. The house it’s stunning! I was simply great to wake up in the morning and having breakfast on the rooftop with a view of Mdina. The gold-coloured limestone keeps the temperature of the house comfortable. I really loved the laundry with the sink and everything you need for washing, drying and ironing your clothes in just one room.

“A beautiful building, well equipped and comfortable. in a good location, but with some drawbacks.”
An architecturally interesting building, beautifully restored and immaculate. Every room on a separate level, linked by a stylish spiral staircase. A well equipped kitchen and laundry, and a nice roof terrace to sit out on. A good position just a short walk from Rabat centre, and an easy walk to Mdina.

Beautifully restored home with modern facilities. It was lovely to have an outdoor space to sit also. Quiet location and only a short walk from Mdina and the catacombs.

“To sum up it is a great place 😀”
The house is unique, very nicely and modernly furnished. We are glad that we chose it, because it was the first time we had the opportunity to sleep in such a sandstone house. The location in the very center of Rabat was also nice, there were quite a few parking spaces around, so finding a place was not such a problem. To sum up, a great place 🙂
