“Stroll hand in hand through the magical, "Silent City" and enjoy the charm and tranquility of the tiny streets and alleyways. The slower pace of life in Mdina is deliciously conducive to couples time. Sip a glass of Champagne whilst enjoying the panoramic views from the de Mondion Terraces, and the spectacular display of twinkling stars and fireworks!”

Romance in the Silent City

“Malta is a special fascinating place where many cultures have mixed together to give it its own original flavour…an exceptional historical and artistic heritage, many natural beauties and a warm people. A few days are enough to feel the heartbeat of the island and get into the footsteps of the earliest civilizations to the Knights of the Order of St John… A typical day can include breakfast overlooking Mdina’s medieval bastions, lunch in the vicinity of one of the oldest standing temples in the world, a siesta by one of the numerous beaches and dinner in the baroque capital, Valletta. A true example that small is beautiful.”
