Summary: Agatina’s is a rare 3-bedroom townhouse inside Mdina’s ancient walls — perfect for families or friends wanting comfort and local charm.

Property Description: Agatina’s is a rare 3-bedroom townhouse tucked inside the ancient walls of Mdina — Malta’s former capital and one of Europe’s best-preserved walled cities. Home to around 300 residents, Mdina is often called an open-air museum for its blend of medieval and baroque charm, peaceful alleys, and timeless atmosphere.
This spacious, recently renovated house sits truly inside the Silent City — not Rabat, not the outskirts — giving guests a unique chance to live where nobles once walked, with all of Mdina’s main squares, cafes, and historic spots just steps away.
Agatina’s is spread over three floors, connected by a grand central staircase and is designed to host up to six guests in its three bedrooms.
The first floor opens into a warm living room with two large leather sofas and a chest stocked with local books and maps. Nearby is a cozy study nook under the stairs — perfect for reading or remote work.
A separate dining room seats seven comfortably at a large mahogany table, with doors leading to a private courtyard — ideal for alfresco meals. The kitchen is fully equipped with appliances and a washing machine, and this level also has a guest WC and separate shower. An air conditioner cools the dining and kitchen area.
Upstairs, the second floor offers two bright bedrooms: one with two single beds that can be joined as a double, the other with two singles (also joinable) plus an ensuite shower room, a second bathroom with his-and-hers sinks, and a small balcony overlooking a quiet lane. This bedroom is air-conditioned for comfort.
On the top floor is the ‘honeymoon suite’ — a spacious double ensuite bedroom that is air-conditioned with a small private kitchenette and commanding views of Mdina’s skyline. This floor also opens onto a charming roof terrace — perfect for evening drinks overlooking the Cathedral’s domes and the city’s timeless rooftops.
We look forward to welcoming you to this authentic family townhouse in the heart of Malta’s Silent City.
Guest access: Guests have full and exclusive access to the entire property, including the charming roof terrace. There are no shared spaces — it’s fully yours during your stay.
Owner interaction with guests: Myself or a member of my family will be available to welcome the guests to the property. We live nearby and are always happy to help during your stay. You’ll have full privacy, but if you ever need local recommendations, help with bookings (airport transfers or other taxi journeys), or anything unexpected — we’re just a message away and ready to assist.
Other details to note: For people that book for a few nights we are happy to prepare a small welcome package with some traditional food and drinks from Malta including a local wine favoured by the locals.
Agatina's is not a party property — Mdina is a quiet, historic town and we wish to respect its unique atmosphere.
Free parking is available just outside Mdina’s city gates (2–3 minutes’ walk). A non-transferable parking permit for one vehicle can potentially be arranged after the first 24 hours of your stay.

We absolutely loved this house in MDina. It was very clean, comfortable, and decorated nicely. We loved the old buildings in the 4th century fort city. Joanna was an excellent host and we loved her. Communication was great. I would give her 10 stars if available. It is walkable to restaurants, bars, and shopping. 1,000% recommend this home. We will definitely be staying here during our next trip to Malta.
Lovely, old townhouse in historical Mdina. Full of character. The town is like a film set and, in fact, a crew were filming while we were there. The house has 2 roof terraces for sitting out during cooler parts of the day, with great view. Also, on the ground floor at the bottom of the light-well, a patio with table and chairs off the kitchenette/dining room. It’s 2 flights up to the double room (with en-suite and an in-shot with sink and fridge); stairs maybe just a little bit steep if you’re unfit like me! The two twin rooms, one of which is en-suite, are one floor up. There’s also a shower and loo on the ground floor. No TV, but with Wi-Fi we could watch Netflix on our laptop. The owner was very helpful and nice. Lots of restaurants round about and Rabat with more restaurants and cafes is just a few minutes away on foot through Greek’s Gate. Parking is outside the town walls, but the place is so small you’ve not got far to go. No grocery shops in Mdina itself, small ones in Rabat, but we drove to Lidl a short way out of town.To conclude, we loved our stay there and would recommend it highly.

Why they chose this property
Living in Mdina is comparable to residing in an open air museum. It is a perfect location for those who enjoy culture and for those who would truly like to experience residing in this magnificent city steeped in history where everything is within walking distance.
What makes this property unique
Located down a quiet alleyway in Mdina, this property offers the best of both worlds:
- Immediate access, right outside your front door, to the wonderful Medieval city of Mdina;
- A quiet retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Its location cannot be emphasised enough - it is situated WITHIN the walled city of Mdina (not in other towns such as Rabat, Bahrija, Mtarfa or Mosta nor in the outer-limits of Mdina). This is quite a rarity as there are very few opportunities for tourists to live and reside within Mdina. Our location in the 'Silent City' of Mdina is unrivalled compared to many other available properties that advertise themselves as located in Mdina, when in fact they are outside the city gates of Mdina.
