Excellent location and service
We stayed three nights at the Xara Palace Relais Hotel in an Executive Room with a large terrace and hot tub. The view is outstanding. A very private corner for relaxing is excellent. The room is beautiful, very well-maintained, and has everything you need. In the middle of the city of Mdina, but in a quiet location. The staff and the service are outstanding. We are completely satisfied and would love to come back. By the way, only approx. 20 min. From the international airport. The food is delicious.

Xara Palace is the perfect place to stay if you are planning on staying in Mdina for a couple of nights. Everything about this palace is amazing. We felt welcome from the minute we walked in the door till the minute we left.

Beautiful - would highly recommend.
We stayed at the Xara Palace for four nights. It is a truly stunning hotel with impeccable service and luxury feel. Denis and the team looked after us really well, and made our visit feel very special. We were able to upgrade to an Executive Suite with panoramic views and a private hot-tub, and that also greatly enhanced our stay. Breakfast was in the hotel restaurant with panoramic views of the countryside, and we were usually there pretty early, so enjoyed quiet and calm meals in there. It is a hotel that really pays attention to the details, and goes above and beyond to make sure everyone has a good experience. We also ate several times at the Trattoria next door. Food was reasonably-priced, delicious and quick, and we would highly recommend.

Exceptional.
Beautiful historic property, fabulous from the moment we arrived. Daughter and I shared a large, luxurious twin room with a view and bath room to die for! The de Mondion restaurant is a fantastic experience, the service and dedication to exceptional food was wonderful.

A Lovely Experience
We had a truly wonderful experience during our stay. Although it was only for one night, every aspect was exceptional, from the beautiful room and outstanding service to the wonderful dining experiences. The attention to detail and warm hospitality throughout made our stay truly memorable.
Our room was absolutely perfect, with a beautiful terrace and jacuzzi. We particularly enjoyed spending the evening there, relaxing and watching the spectacular Santa Maria fireworks — such a lovely and unforgettable way to spend the night.
We also had an early dinner at the Trattoria, where the food was simply exceptional. We enjoyed the octopus stew and the prawn arancini from the speciality menu and both were absolutely delicious. Later in the evening, we ordered some desserts through room service and once again the service was outstanding.
Breakfast at the De Mondion Restaurant was another highlight. The exceptional view, combined with the attentive and incredibly quick service, made for a wonderful morning. A special mention to the two lovely ladies who served us and took such good care of us.
Our compliments also go to Chef Dorian, who prepared a beautiful breakfast tier including local products, bread, pastries, some ham and fruit. Everything was fresh, delicious and beautifully presented. The Eggs Benedict and French Toast were both divine and perfectly prepared.
We would also like to give a special thank you to all the staff on duty, who went above and beyond to make our stay extra special. Their genuine kindness, thoughtful gestures and warm hospitality did not go unnoticed and added an even more personal touch to an already wonderful experience.
It may have been only one night, but it was a truly memorable stay. The exceptional food, wonderful service, attention to detail and warm hospitality made the whole experience very special. We would be delighted to return!
