This is a beautiful house which has been lovingly renovated to bring out the best features of its historical past which dates back to roman times. The house has many architectural features which have been well preserved and turned into the highlight of the rooms as well as many beautiful pieces of art both ancient and modern. I was given a tour in English but have been told that the guide will also do the tour in Italian, french and other languages as well as in Maltese. My favourite part to see in the house was the cellar which has been turned into a chapel where I was told a Christmas mass is held annually and this beautiful cellar is decorated with candles and Christmas decorations over that period. This is a real gem of a house and must be seen to be truly appreciated, as a lot of love has been put into this family run home.

Bahrija Oasis is a permaculture off-grid ecological farm close to Rabat, Malta. It is in a beautiful yet occasional windy area of Malta. Our farm is more like a natural refuge where one can find peace and connection. It is suitable for whoever wants to spend a few days living off the grid and experiencing simplicity. We also organize group visits and team building eco activities. Please note its strictly vegetarian food only and no smoking within the farm space. Our rooms are geodesic domes specially designed to cocoon you from the chaotic world!

A perfect venue for trekking along the cliffs edge to Ras-Id-Dawwara. Beautiful Gorge leading down towards the sea with steps cut in the rock. Possible to swim down the bottom if sea is not rough.

We went here with a Game of thrones tour, and seeing that several of the scenes were filmed here the place is a must if you can get here easily! The building is beautiful on it's own and the connection just made it that much better! There are several sundials and some of the original, more colourful floor can be seen in some of the rooms.

This lovely church and catacombs is well worth a visit. The lovely custodian explained everything so well and really brought it to life for us, she is clearly very proud of the place and understandably so. Look out for the chisel marks, imagine the suffering of the men working in such cramped conditions. The ‘table’ in the middle where they had a feast to celebrate after the burial and the small hollows for burial of children. - easy to imagine how it was used. Excellent.

St. Paul’s Catacombs are a typical complex of interconnected, underground Roman cemeteries that were in use up to the 4th century AD. They are located on the outskirts of the old Roman capital Melite (today’s Mdina), since Roman law prohibited burials within the city. St Paul’s Catacombs represent the earliest and largest archaeological evidence of Christianity in Malta. The site was cleared and investigated in 1894 by Dr A.A. Caruana, the pioneer of Christian archaeology in Malta.

These catacombs are a place where the people of Mdina used to be burried between 3rd and 8th century. During the tour you can see the graves dug in the stone and many old wall paintings. It was really a special experience for me and would recommand it.

Came here early to beat any crowds and was happy to find it pretty empty as it was early in the morning and Winter time. More or less had the place to myself at times which was a little spooky but great as no queuing to get into the catacombs or squeezing round others as once inside each tomb there is not much room. Very reasonable entrance price at only €5 so very pleased with that. Well worth a visit and enjoyable day out. If coming from tas-sliema (where I was staying) get the 202 bus, only €1.50 for the longish journey of 45 minutes to the last stop in bus station of Rabat across the road from the entrance to Mdina, also well worth a visit especially for any Game of Thrones fans as this doubled up as Kings Landing and Red Keep. Beautiful place and highly recommend.
