Authentic living in perfect location in old Rabat

We spent 3 weeks in the very authentical old city house in one of the pictoresque narrow alleys of the old city of Rabat. Restaurants, historical Places and Shops are in short walking distance. The house has high ceilings and is very spacial for a family of 4. The host is very friendly, helpfull, communicates excellently and reacts quickly if anything is needed. We enjoyed our stay a lot and felt right at home.

About the host

Hosted by Reno Tanti

Host profile image
I have been in the hotel management business 35 years having studied hotel management in Centre International de Glion, Switzerland. Myself and my wife Brigitte have been managing my own 3 holiday rental homes for the past 15 years. We did the conversions of our three houses of character ourselves.

Swiss training and a pure Maltese culture are a perfect match. While the hotel training I got ensures a professional service, the Maltese culture ensures a true warmth towards our homes and clients.

It's what, you would call, a match made in Heaven to ensure our clients a perfect holiday in a home away from home rather than just another hotel room.

Try us, and find out for yourself !

Why they chose this property

Casa Melita is situated in the heart of Rabat which is a hub of culture in Malta. Within walking distance you have churches, museums, catacombs and the silent city of Mdina
