10/10 Exceptional! (48 reviews)
We were wow’d the moment we stepped into this gorgeous, unique property. The owners, Lulu and Clive were so hospitable and you could tell the attention to detail from the unique, eclectic lobby to the courtyard with swimming pool. Out room was equally stunning. We booked the one with a jacuzzi- a small living area, separate bedroom area, and spiral staircase to a surprise cavernous room w a jacuzzi! Everything was perfect! Bathrobes, fluffy towels and luxury bath products, this hotel was better than most of the 5 star hotels we stayed at! And it’s only 10 minutes to Mdina and 15 mins to the airport. We absolutely loved it !!!
