Antonio is a lovely host, and his house is amazing: filled with gorgeous antiques, books, and curiosities. My husband and I were in Mdina celebrating our 29th wedding anniversary, and since we booked to have lunch to honor the occasion (our anniversary was on a Sunday, when most restaurants are closed, at least in the evening), Antonio agreed to arrange a special "apericena" for us--half aperitif, half dinner. It was beautiful, thoughtful, and delicious.
Although you are literally staying in his house, he respects your privacy, while remaining social and approachable. We also loved the fact that he is a virtual historian; his knowledge of Maltese history and art is both impressive and invaluable.
Thank you,
Antonio
