Pros:

We had a wonderful stay, which turned out to be much too short! Our room was cozy with an amazing view over the main church. We particularly liked the pool area which has natural shadow under the lemon trees. The personnel was very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back!

I have never experienced such kind and caring staff at this hotel. The owner and his amazing team clearly work hard to m
Pros:

The character it had. Very clearly an old building but had kept in its original state and felt like you were staying in a grand Maltese home of the 18th century.

Cons:

The only thing I can say is that there was no croissants one morning for breakfast and they were delicious the day before!

Pros:

Breakfast could be more varied. Location is good, near most of the other cities, I like the building very much. I did not expect such small rooms, but was not a big problem.

Cons:

I would think a 4* hotel would change bed sheets without request if they saw them stained as we stayed 4 nights, however this was not the case, also towels were only changed after request but there should be signage for this in the room ,.

Cons:

petit déjeuner pas trop varié, directeur adorable qui fait tout pour vous aider mais dépassé par du personnel qui est peu compétent sur ce qu'il faut faire dans un hôtel (pas de changement de draps ou de serviettes tous les jours alors que c'est un hôtel!!!)

Nice place to stay but over all disappointed
Pros:

The hotel was beautiful. Rooms were very clean and bed very comfortable. Air con perfect as very hot. Staff were very friendly and attentive and made us feel very welcomed. Pool area was lovely and peaceful to sit around during the day. Breakfast was nice but not what I could expect for a 5* rated hotel.

Cons:

Rooms were very very small. There was no tea and coffee facilities in room (although couldn’t fit this in) and no fresh water available which I would have expected for the price we paid for room. Felt more like a bed and breakfast than a hotel and extremely over priced on room stay and food/drink prices. Breakfast nice but the same each morning. I didn’t like flies on food - food should have been covered. Owners were lovely and friendly to us but shouted at staff a lot which seemed very unprofessional and sad to hear when they were just trying to do their best. Beds were made daily but sheets or towels not changed during our stay. Booked as stated ‘free parking onsite’ but this is road side and roads around property can be busy at time. Room also stated ‘sound proof’ but this was not true. Definitely not a 5* property but a nice place to stay if priced lower.

Le séjour était parfait
Pros:

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour chez notre hôte Alex à Malte ! L’accueil a été chaleureux, l’hôte disponible à toute heure du jour et de la nuit, attentionné et toujours prêt à nous aider lorsque nous en avions besoin.

Le logement était très agréable, propre, confortable et parfaitement situé pour profiter de Malte. Nous nous sommes tout de suite sentis comme chez nous.

Un grand merci pour la qualité de l’accueil et pour toutes les petites attentions qui ont rendu notre séjour encore plus agréable. Nous recommandons cet hébergement les yeux fermés et nous y retournerions avec grand plaisir lors d’un prochain séjour à Malte ! 🇲🇹☀️

Highly recommended!
Pros:

Palazzo Pisani — A Restored Jewel in the Heart of Żabbar
Every so often you come across a place that lingers with you long after you've checked out, and Palazzo Pisani is precisely that. Tucked away in the heart of Żabbar, this boutique property is a genuine gem, the kind of discovery that feels almost too good to share.
I arrived wanting nothing more than to switch off and rest, but as a local architect I confess I couldn't help scrutinising the building itself. Palazzo Pisani is a superb example of Maltese vernacular architecture, and what impressed me most was the intelligence of its restoration. The conversion has been handled with real sensitivity: the historic fabric, the proportions, the traditional detailing and the character of the original palazzo have all been carefully preserved, while modern comforts have been woven in so seamlessly that nothing feels forced or out of place. It is a masterclass in how to marry heritage with contemporary living, a balance far easier to describe than to achieve.
The pool is simply fantastic, an inviting space that quickly became my favourite spot to unwind. The spa was equally memorable; I booked a massage and can only say that it was so thoroughly relaxing I could barely walk straight afterwards, a compliment, I assure you, of the highest order.
We dined at the property twice, and on both occasions the food was a highlight. It was authentic, honest and genuinely excellent... the sort of cooking that reflects real care and a respect for local produce and tradition, rather than anything contrived for the tourist palate.
Yet for all the beauty of the building, the quality of the pool, the spa and the kitchen, what elevated the stay from excellent to exceptional was the people. The staff and the owners are warm, sincere and unfailingly attentive, always ready to go well beyond the expected. There is a genuine hospitality here, a sense of being genuinely looked after, that simply cannot be manufactured.

Cons:

Nothing

A real oasis in the heat of Malta's summer
Pros:

The garden and pool are a rare paradise - so much green and so many trees to lie in the shade of. Malta this summer was exceptionally hot and one may feel like there is just not enough shade anywhere. This property is an amazing exception. Alexis is a generous host, super fast at communicating, with lots of tips of what to see and do. What is more, and very much appreciated: he let us stay and enjoy the pool and garden even after checkout (because we needed to be at the airport only later). There is a pingpong table and toys for smaller kids and the pool is open around the clock - a swim late in the evening is often needed in Malta for comfort. In the evening, we had a wonderful meal in the courtyard, prepared with a lot of love and care for our individual needs. Thank you!

Cons:

A bit more selection for the breakfast would have been great - but taking it in the wonderful courtyard made up for it!

Mon meilleur séjour et de loin !
Pros:

Le lieu est historique et magique. Parfaitement bien situé. L’accueil du fils des propriétaires Lucas fut extraordinaire. Enfin l’art de recevoir ! Si rare de nos jours. Quand aux propriétaires, à l’image de leur fils : attentionnés , extrêmement accueillant et sympathiques, tous 3 de très bons conseils pour les excursions . En bref nous reviendrons juste pour eux et aussi pour leur magnifique hôtel

Cons:

Rien : tout est parfait
