Description: 1st class holiday home in Malta This Malta holiday home is a 300
year old house of character located just outside the medieval city of Mdina in
Malta. It has been expertly converted by owner to a welcoming warm and cosy
home. Malta is a top Mediterranean destination most famous for its near perfect
weather conditions and its long and rich history. The city of Mdina earned its
present day name from the Saracens who came to Malta around 870 AD. They
surrounded the city with thicker walls, separating it from its nearest town,
Rabat. The house is reached after walking through a typical and pretty alley- A little gate leads you to the entrance patio to the main door. A spacious hallway flows through the middle of the house to the garden and pool area.

Those interested in architectural history as well as the general history of the maltese islands will not find a better place to stay in Malta. The living area is midway to the right after walking your first few steps through the main hall and furnished to a high standard of comfort and interior decor with comfortable accessories ,sofas , cofee table ,TV, fireplace and a window overlooking the pool You will notice the thick walls the house was built with typical Maltese flagstones.

The mellow limestone walls and flagstone floors are complemented and further enchanted with antique furniture , stone arches and wooden beams. Accross the hallway is a little dining room seating 6 persons with a second living area again equipped with sofas. Adjacent to this other living room is a lovelly rustically designed kitchen fully equipped for self catering and cooking on your own.

The twin bedroom leads directly on to a terrace overlooking the lovely pool where one may also enjoy the space on this terrace to enjoy the Maltese sun. Children: Due to the fact that this home is so well cared for- it is being rented out on the holiday market for the 1st time and those travelling with children are asked to take good care of their childrens behaviour- both because children are curious about everything and because if not controlled properly when on holiday can be careless....which will upset the owner of the house. surelly they will enjoy the pool though special attention to not entering the house when wet. The owner reserves the right to ask you to leave if children are not properly supevised by responsible adults on holiday. Airconditioning: The
main bedroom has a/c, 2nd twin bedroom has a/c, 3rd bedroom with bunk beds NO

Rabat and Mdina: The

medieval city of Mdina. Originally an
agricultural town, Rabat has grown into one of Malta's more pleasant locations.
Surrounded on all sides by open and fertile countryside, it has a gentle and
open feel to it. Mdina is a highly rated MUST see for all tourists visiting
Malta- as it beholds an elite collection of historic attractions of medieval
europe Mdina- The City on a Throne The history of Mdina and its suburb, Rabat, is as old and as chequered as the history of Malta itself. Its origin can be traced back more than 4000 year. The Maltese nobility, who were mostly based in Mdina, did not like the Knights and looked upon them as unwanted Intruders. However, a gentlemen's agreement was reached. After all , the Nobles had no other choice, and began to see an advantage in the presence of the Knights on the Island against the pirate attacks they had to bear with before the Knights arrived.The Grandmaster was acknowledged as master of the island, but had to swear to respect the internal autonomy of Mdina. Only after this formal acknowledgement did the Grandmaster receive the keys of the city. This ceremony took place at the main gate of Mdina each time a new Grandmaster was elected.. Further more there was a tacit agreement that the order of St. John should concentrate their living quarters in Birgu and Valletta, whereas the Maltes nobility should concentrate on Mdina.More...
