The staff were fantastic and really looked after us for the whole of our five day 25th wedding anniversary visit.
The restaurant food and service were particularly fantastic. We had the 7 course vegetarian tasting menu, which we felt was well above the one Michelin star from our experience.
Palazzo Bifora features an outdoor swimming pool, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Mdina.

This was an exceptional hotel with the friendliest staff. The hotel was beautiful, especially the bifora windows. The small but impactful gestures were appreciated like the chocolates left in our room each day. The staff always greeted us with a smile. The food was just as good as everything else. The experience of staying here felt bespoke and was very peaceful given its location in the silent city of Mdina. Highly recommended.

Having self catering facilities was good so that we didn’t have to eat out all the time. Good transport links and some nice walks close by.

Absolutely amazing place with the best views across the island. There's so much history to see and experience and loads of choice for food. Definitely wander out of the main gate and over to Crystal Palace for the best Pastizzi, and Fontanella's on the city wall is a must.

Mdina is nice for a few hours but there’s not a lot to do if you have done all the museums, cathedrals and archaeological sites in other parts of Malta and Gozo as we had done.
It’s very historical with lovely glassware and silver jewellery in the quaint little shops.
It was a nice place to chill out after a hectic few days elsewhere on Malta.

A truly spectacular ancient small walled city.
A truly spectacular ancient small walled city.
The downside of this being the sheer number of tourists, however in the early morning or latter in the evening when they have left it has a serenity , it is wonderful then to just wander the ancient streets.
Amazing location inside the beautiful old city Lmdina which is perfect to reach any great spot in Malta. We also enjoyed the Lmdina after 7pm and the leaving of the tourists.
The hotel is full of charm and history.
Omar is a great owner kind to help for every request so does his staff !
The room was perfect (++ for beautiful bathroom) - amazing rooftop with a nice pool.
Nice homemade breakfast - nice restaurant - great cocktails
A perfect holidays . Thanks Omar !!
Very spacious and very well equipped property. Loved the uniqueness of the layout and in the height of summer the pool area was an excellent facility to be able to enjoy. It felt like we were living in a part of Mdina's history.
As a base for visiting Malta, Mdina is ideally placed, with taxis and local buses easy to pick up from the main gate.
Peter and his staff couldn't be more helpful throughout the duration of our stay.
I loved our suite. Really spacious with lovely furniture. The bed was also very comfortable. I also enjoyed having a big bath and shower in the luxurious bathroom ! The view was fantastic. And also need to mention that the staff make you feel really welcome and they all go out of their way to make it an enjoyable stay. Definitely recommend this beautiful Hotel! keep up the good work!
The owner greeted me at the door. The check in process was 5 star. You are welcomed in seated given a tasty local beverage while the owner explains the layout and history of the hotel. The restaurant in the hotel is also 5 star the scallops were amazing the Amberjack was good. The room was great very comfortable bedding. The heated floors in the bathroom were great.
The welcome was excellent. I’ve not had such a personal and warm welcome in a hotel before. The general level of helpfulness from the staff from reception to the restaurant was superb. The food in the restaurants was of a very high standard. The beds were also very comfortable, it’s so rare for me to find pillows of the kind of quality I have at home.
The history that comes with this property. It is an unique hotel in an unique place! The staff, the care about guests and the fact that the hotel is so updated to our times and technology but in the same time all the fabulous features from back in history are kept and present there, to reminder where you are!
We loved staying behind the walls of the Mdina gate. Such a unique experience and location. The room was always clean, fresh water every time they cleaned the room, staff was great and the De Mondion restaurant was SO good. Definitely a special meal. The pool was so nice to come back to and relax.
The view from the terrace was stunning and a great place to eat breakfast which was also amazing! The staff were lovely and the building it just stunning! Walking around Mdina at night was beautiful so staying in the city walls made you feel like you lived there. I would come back in a heartbeat.
Beautiful and comfortable hotel hidden in the alleyways of Mdina. The owners of the hotel were very kind and gracious, going above and beyond to provide for a pleasant stay. There was a rooftop with views of the city and a pool. Breakfast was very good as well.
Lovely boutique hotel in heart of Mdina old town. Many lovely bars and restaurants within a short walk.
Spacious and very comfortable room. Friendly and helpful staff. Great food - breakfast and dinner both excellent. Would certainly stay here again.
Lovely classic terrace property in a fabulous location just inside Mdina city walls. Property agents were friendly, professional and very responsive, provided prompt and clear arrival instructions. Clean and modern interior still retaining classic charm.
Wonderful hotel within the Mdina walls. Exceptional breakfast. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. My room had a separate sitting room and a terrace with a hot tub. Magical in the evenings.
Super nice property, in a great location in Mdina. The rooftop is really nice and great breakfast and drinks all day. The decor is really nice and amazing amenities and little touches. Very nice all round
Gorgeous former home with 6 large rooms, excellent breakfast, family run but 5 star! The staff was amazing! I urge you to stay here!!! Such a lovely experience in the center of Mdina.
Beautiful building in the heart of Mdina.
Evenings are truly magical and the staff is extraordinarily helpful and friendly.
Rooftop terrace was beautiful for a drink or breakfast.
