Palazzo Castagna

This is a beautiful, peaceful property staffed by the most helpful and friendly people. The reception is always manned with welcoming, knowledgeable staff who cater for your every need. The bedrooms are spotless and cleaned daily. The beds and bedding are excellent. Very comfortable and luxurious sheeting and pillows. The bathrooms are well stocked with toiletries etc and slippers and dressing gowns supplied. The restaurant is housed in a beautiful characterful room. Breakfast is buffet style and there is plenty of options. However, it is a continental arrangement and anyone expecting a full English may be disappointed. The pool area is beautiful and carefully maintained. Plenty of towels available and the pool bar has a well stocked bar providing great cocktails. In warmer months the roof top pool area also has a restaurant and bbq nights. During cooler months the main restaurant is open in the evening for fabulous a la carte meals. The village of Ghaxaq is very quiet but the hotel is only a 5 minute walk to the bus stop. From here you can travel cheaply to other areas. Ultimately, any business is only as good as the staff who man it. Every member of staff from Nirosha on reception and her colleagues, the wonderful friendly cleaners, bar and restaurant staff and pool man, all work so hard to make your stay perfect!!

What an excellent boutique hotel! We arrived very late and although the front desk staff departs at 9pm, we were able to enter without issue with the provided doorcode. Our room had everything we needed and the bed was amazing. The morning breakfast had plenty to offer and was perfect after a day of travel. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I’d give more than 5 stars if I could.

Fantastic place to stay - highly recommend to everyone. Room was really spacious and comfortable. Quiet hotel, great location - only a 10euro bolt from valetta and a short drive to lots of coastal areas. Staff were really helpful and courteous, dinner was delicious.
