Nestled in the heart of Mdina, Malta’s historical capital, Palazzino Belvedere has recently opened its doors, offering guests a seamless blend of luxury and rich cultural heritage. This exquisite establishment is housed within a meticulously restored 17th-century palace that captivates visitors with its traditional Maltese architecture. The intricately designed floors are adorned with characteristic Maltese tiles, while the honey-colored stone walls evoke a sense of warmth and elegance that’s characteristic of this Mediterranean island.
Palazzino Belvedere is ideally suited for small families or groups, accommodating up to three adults or two adults and two children. The layout offers two spacious bedrooms, two modern bathrooms, and a cozy living area that invites relaxation. Dining options are fulfilled by a fully-equipped corridor kitchen and a charming dining room that comfortably seats six. The internal courtyard serves as a tranquil oasis, providing a serene spot to unwind while enjoying picturesque views of the Maltese countryside.
In addition, the residence boasts not one, but three terraces and two balconies, each offering stunning panoramas of the surrounding historic streets and islands that beckon exploration. An essential highlight for visitors is the access to a seasonal outdoor pool at The Xara Lodge, which is conveniently located just a short drive from the palace.
One of the most intriguing aspects of Palazzino Belvedere is its collection of historical artifacts and artworks, which narrate the rich narratives of Malta’s past. The property houses a vault that once formed part of an underground route leading to the revered St. Paul’s Cathedral during times of conflict, adding a layer of historical intrigue for guests.
The primary bedroom on the first floor exudes opulence, featuring traditional Maltese tiles and luxurious furnishings, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. For those who enjoy entertainment, the interconnected living room is fitted with two-century-old tapestries that create a perfect backdrop for modern amenities, including a surround sound and theater system.
To enhance the stay of its visitors, Palazzino Belvedere offers a Personal Experience Curator, who is dedicated to tailoring unique experiences that suit the individual needs of each guest. Whether it’s arranging excursions, dining reservations, or transfers, the staff are committed to ensuring a memorable stay. Upon arrival, guests are treated to complimentary champagne, setting an indulgent tone for their visit.
Palazzino Belvedere seamlessly integrates into The Xara Collection, a distinguished portfolio that includes the renowned Xara Palace Relais & Chateaux and the stunning Villa Barumbara Tal-Larinċ. For culinary enthusiasts, several dining establishments are part of the collection, two of which boast Michelin stars—de Mondion and Rosamì—promising a gastronomic journey unlike any other. This new offering brings an unprecedented level of satisfaction to travelers seeking both relaxation and authentic cultural experiences in Malta.
