We are a 67+ year old married couple who booked our 8 night stay with Antonio on the basis of the positive reviews we read during our research. No photos of the accommodation, just great reviews and they were undoubtedly proven during our stay.
Antonio' s place, within the medieval walled hilltop "Silent City" of Medina is unique. The bedroom is small but who worries when their eyes are shut to the sound of silence in such an amazing place. There is a more than adequate private sitting room with fridge where we sat and read about our plans for the next day and had a drink or two. A small balcony over an internal courtyard is lovely in the evening.
Everybody writes about Antonio's Breakfasts and for that he excels.
Each day he walks into Rabat to get fresh bread, a different type each day. He also varies the breakfast as much as he can with various omelettes, fruit, hams, chesses and pastries.
If you want minimalistic, go elsewhere. If you want an authentic home stay in an historical house with charm and character and an enthusiastic host, this is the place for you.
Although a bit apprehensive at first, we were invited to have breakfast with Antonio in his kitchen / lounge. It turned out to be a wonderful experience where we discussed all sorts of things, especially about the history of Malta, modern day life and where to go for the day.
Antonio is a great host.
Medina is an ideal centre to explore Malta
