We absolutely loved it! When we go back to Malta, we will 100% stay for a couple days at Xara Palace.

Pros: While we were staying at the hotel, there was a power failure that affected 5 cities includeding Mdina. The Xara Palace has a generator and was the only building in the area that had power. AC included! Having a generator when the temperature is in the mid 40C was amazing. Cons: Nothing to say, the property was perfect.

Excellent Hotel and Caring Wonderful Staff

Our two day stay at the Xara Palace was exceptional. The room gorgeous and spacious, and the breakfast superb. But it was the staff that made this so special, they went out of their way to take care of us, including our granddaughter. Arranged trips and helpful during the day, including great restaurant recommendations, Mdina itself is a special place. Recommend the Xara highly!

Absolutely wonderful

Could not have loved this anymore. All of the staff were absolutely wonderful. Also, dinner at their Michelin Star was one of the best dinners I’ve had in a while. I also was able to try new and exciting wines, there was a Gruiner from New Zealand! The rooms are beautiful too. This is a wonderful hotel and I’ll be back, thank you so much for everything!!!

The Mdina experience

A hidden gem. Looked after superbly by Denis and the whole team. Everyone was exceptionally helpful and lovely. They all went out of their way to make our stay as enjoyable and carefree as possible. Our room was comfortable and spacious with breathtaking views over Malta. The restaurant was indeed a special experience which we would highly recommended.

An Incredible Experience! 5 Stars!

The Xara Palace is an exceptional hotel in absolutely every way - the converted 17th century palazzo is extraordinary, the rooms very comfortable, the food is absolutely amazing (I loved the breakfast) and the staff is very friendly and serviced focus. The Xara pool is a short drive but the staff eagerly drives you down the hill and the pool area is very nice. I stayed two nights which is really all you need. The town of Mdina is stunning and the Xara is the best place to stay by far in either Mdina or nearby Rabat. I have stayed all over the world and rate this five stars all the way and
