"Top restaurant! Lovely place, extraordinary cuisine, of excellent quality and certainly one of a kind. All very refined and special. Highly recommended!!!"

Manuela Mincarelli Google

"This place was such a gem! We stumbled upon this wonderful hotel and restaurant and were greeted and welcomed by the owners. It was before opening time, but they were so hospitable and stopped what they were doing to welcome us anyways to the beautiful rooftop restaurant. We came back later and had the most amazing dinner with the most amazing waiter. Sergio was such a pleasure and so knowledgeable and accommodating. Next time we come to the area, we will certainly come back and stay at this beautiful boutique hotel! Five stars all around."

Anna Vaccaro Google

"Wish we knew about this wonderful hidden gem of a property sooner on our Malta stay. The rooftop terrace views and dining experience was everything I would want from our trip to Mdina. The food was as delicious as it was imaginative. The dessert was really the finish line for me, 5 stars. Omar and his staff really have outdone themselves and made us feel like VIP guests even if it was just an evening."
