The Xara Palace Relais & Chateaux

Staff was exceptional, as well as the care in every detail.

Hôtel extra-ordinaire, par sa localisation, son histoire, les chambres luxueuses toutes agencées différemment, la vue splendide, le service adorable et prévenant. Sa localisation au centre de l’île est un plus. Nous y avons passé quatre nuits pour un séjour mémorable !

N’y allez pas si vous rêvez de grands buffets de petits déjeuners ! Le petit déjeuner est copieux et délicieux mais c’est sur demande et amené à table. Ce qui a beaucoup d’autres avantages…

The hotel is tastefully and elegantly furnished, with period paintings and ornamentation and in accordance with its noble history. The rooms are beautifully appointed and with high quality fabrics, towels and bed linen, most are with balconies and high ceilings. We were very touched to receive Christmas cake, mincepies and a gift for each of us. The Christmas drinks and mince pies was also such a generous gesture and we particularly enjoyed being hosted in person by the owner of this glorious hotel.

In the middle of Mdina, in a grand historic palace, with rooms and amenities that match. But what really stands out is the service: Anticipatory, friendly but not intrusive. Literally the best service I've had in decades.

Everything is about the Xara Palace is exceptional. There is not a better location than being within the walls of the Mdina but within easy walking distance to Rabat. The sunrise views to the east made the delicious breakfast even more special. Our room was very spacious, and the bed was perfect. The service we received from the staff was second to none; there is no detail left to chance. Although everyone was fantastic, we would like to single out Aurora and Sara at the front desk for their helpful advice and hospitality.

We had to leave after three nights.

Property, Room, Breakfast, Service, Mdina Restaurant. Among the top Hotels in all of Europe. My wife actually cried at checkout because we had to leave.

Cost - but, you get what you pay for. Worth it.
