A room at The Xara Palace in Mdina, Malta

Among this castle's many wow factors is that its walls are integrated into those that make up the bastions of the fortified medieval city of Mdina. Just a few steps from the main entrance into the city, The Xara Palace was built in the seventeenth century to house the noble Moscati Parisio family. It was then inhabited by the British during WWII, and today it is once again family-owned, this time by the Zammit Tabonas, who are to be thanked for its beautiful restoration. The bedrooms are decorated with period pieces and original Maltese artworks, and their views range from the internal courtyards to The Vilhena Palace. Because of the property's setting, the rooftop de Mondion restaurant offers a truly stunning dining experience.
