I recently had the pleasure of staying at Palazzo Castagna, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The property combines historic charm with modern comfort, creating a perfect balance for a relaxing getaway. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome and went above and beyond to ensure my stay was exceptional. The rooms were impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully designed to provide every comfort. Waking up to the stunning views of the surrounding area was a highlight of each morning. The location is ideal—close enough to explore nearby attractions yet offering a peaceful and serene atmosphere to unwind. The attention to detail throughout the palazzo, from the architecture to the amenities, reflects a genuine dedication to quality and guest satisfaction. I also appreciated the delicious breakfast offerings and the personalized recommendations for local dining and activities. The team’s warmth and hospitality made this trip extra special. I highly recommend Palazzo Castagna to anyone looking for a memorable and luxurious stay. I can’t wait to return!

Well run boutique Hotel.

Great Hotel, excellent service. This hotel is close to the Airport, there is nothing around the Area, you need a car or hire a taxi o take the public bus to go anywhere. Public transport I found to be well organized and safe. Breakfast at the hotel was very good. Had to change rooms since our assigned room was facing the street that is under construction, we did find way to notice, the staff was very helpful in accommodating our request

Overall an excellent stay at the hotel castagna . Most of the staff was very helpful . To name a few , Nirosha, Chodan , Preet at the front desk gave us good tips about what to see around and which transport is best and more viable . At the rooftop bar Vishal was excellent , he went out of his way and took care and Deepak too was so nice . We were only disappointed with the breakfast situation, no savory options for vegetarians and when asked about substitute the non vegetarian to make it vegetarian, the choice was very poor . Would have loved some fresh salad , fresh fruit , fresh dried nuts and some cheeses which would have made it easier . Even when asked for cheese the quantity would be very very meager also something like croissants very simple and basic were not given when asked . The quality of the breakfast ingredients was not up to mark . When we did complain the attendant didn’t seem to care but when we asked to see the manager Adam he was very understanding and heard patiently yo our grievances and followed up beautifully by treating us to a wonderful dinner , drinks and desert of the best quality where in the chef also came and asked us whether we liked it and we were so happy . Also for packing us breakfast because we had to catch an early flight Adam made sure that we got lovely salad which was the best and very fresh with croissants and yogurt and a sweet . So the end of our stay was made very memorable and we would definitely visit castagna again .

This is a beautiful restored property that has retained much of its Maltese style. The bedrooms are bright & modern with beautiful furnishings, bedding & towels. Rooms cleaned daily and bedding & towels changed as required. The best bed we have ever slept in.There is a mini bar and tea/coffee facilities. The restaurant, under the care of Sandeep & his team, offers an array of cereals, pastries, fruit etc & also offers a wide range of hot choices all tailored to your requirements. The roof terrace has a small but lovely pool with sun beds, umbrellas & towels. Reception staff are knowledgeable & can help with trip advice & dinner reservations. My husband & I would return in a heartbeat. The hotel is in the small town of Ghaxaq. The Church is metres away & has been there much longer than the hotel. As such, it and the local residents deserveMass is held daily & attended by the local residents. We also saw a wedding & funeral take place while there. During such occasions parking is restricted but there are lots of other places to park nearby & ample warnings given to move your car. The church also has an enthusiastic bell ringer which, for most people, adds to the charm of the holiday but could upset any overly sensitive guests! 😉

They were so pleasant and helpful, we asked if we could check in early, and although they made no promises, our room was ready upon arrival. Excellent staff, all around! Only difficult thing was finding parking, as the property does not have designated parking. Parking was on the street in the surrounding neighborhood.
