OK!

Eastern Daily Press
“…it was, quite simply, the best hotel in which I had ever stayed. The de Mondion was an experience with perfectly prepared, cooked and presented fine dining, which was totally in keeping with everything else about an amazing hotel I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending to everyone wishing to enjoy the best things in life.”
You & Your Wedding Magazine
“… a romantic 17th Century palazzo on a hilltop above Mdina, where the likes of Jennifer Aniston have snuggled beneath its duck down quilts… Book a suite with an outdoor Jacuzzi... Fine dining at de Mondion restaurant is exquisite…”

Wedding Ideas Magazine

Where to Stay
Xara Palace
This elegant palace, now a luxurious Relais & Chateaux hotel with 17 suites, is probably the most glamorous place to stay in Malta. Think Persian rugs scattered across stone floors, antique furniture, original artworks and a good rooftop restaurant and terrace with panoramic views from its privileged vantage point in the walled city of Mdina.
Elle Magazine (France)
Loin des buildings du littoral, l'ancienne capitale Mdina se love a' l'abri d'une muralle seculaire. C'est la' que se trouve le Xara Palace, membre des Relais & Chateaux, un des secrets les mieux gardes de Malta.
Dix-sept chambres et suites, un service sur mesure, une deco elegante ...Pas etonnant que Bruce Willis et Brad Pitt aient craque'! Comme eux, on admire la vue depuis le toit-terrasse,on visite les petites criques de l'ile et on profite d'un climat top.
Far from the buildings of the coastline, the old capital city of Mdina is nestled in the ancient fortifications. This is where one can find The Xara Palace, member of Relais & Chateaux, one of the best kept secrets of Malta.
Seventeen rooms and suites, bespoke service, elegant decoration... It is not surprising that Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt were unable to resist! Just like they did, we admire the view from the roof terrace, we visit the small inlets of the island and we enjoy the lovely weather.

If Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie reckon it’s a nice place to stay then I would certainly imagine that it could well suit many of us too! What room did they stay in? Well no one would say, but then again that’s the sort of place it is discreet, delightful and downright gorgeous.

Hotel particulier du XVIIeme siècle, blotti au coeur de la cite medievale fortifiee de Mdina, l'ancienne capitale maltaise, le Xara Palace 5* Luxe est un bijou de boutique-hotel, a !'atmosphère vraiment unique. Membre de la chaine Relais & Châteaux, il propose 17 chambres toutes différentes, aux mobiliers, tapisseries et tableaux d'epoque. Certaines, avec Jacuzzi sur la terrasse, jouissent d'une vue incroyable sur la vallée environnante, avec la mer en toile de fond. Une vue dont on profite aussi depuis le restaurant gastronomique De Mondion, l'un des meilleurs de l'ile, régulièrement distingue pour la finesse et la subtilité de sa cuisine. Tout ici concourt a inspirer une ambiance très « maison de famille ", élégante et délicate. Rien d'étonnant à ce qu'on y organise régulièrement ses noces, que ce soit dans l'atrium, la cour couverte d'origine du palais, ou sur sa place majestueuse. Un cadre privilégié pour le seul hôtel de la cité d'art, cerné par une tres belle architecture et des ruelles piètonnes s'illuminant la nuit venue ...
