Fantastic home in a perfect location. Walkable to all that Mdina and Rabat has to offer. Karen and her family were outstanding hosts, very communicative and accommodating. I cannot recommend this home enough!

Interesting being in a renovated stone building. This made it quite dark inside but we were mostly out touring. Our host had left an amazing number of supplies including some food and wine! It was a short walk to the Mdina and yet being on a cute...

it really was a house of character which was exactly what we were looking for. An interesting layout and nice and cool downstairs due to the stone build of the property. A/c's worked well upstairs and beds were comfy. We especially liked having...

Welcome to Gawhra, a charming house of character featuring wooden beams, stone arches, and traditional Maltese features, offering a cosy and inviting atmosphere. Nestled in the heart of Rabat, this home is just a short walk from Mdina, Malta's historic Silent City. The house offers two single bedrooms on the first floor and a double bedroom on the second floor, providing a comfortable stay for up to 4 guests. It has a fully equipped kitchen, a cosy terrace where you can unwind after a day of exploring. Toiletries and towels are provided for your convenience. For added comfort the house has a toilet (half -bath) on the ground floor, a bathroom 🛁 on the first floor, and a shower 🚿 on the second floor. While there are stairs, they are easy to use, though may not be suitable for guests with mobility difficulties. Set on a quiet yet central location, Gawhra is an excellent base for discovering Rabat and Mdina's rich history, charming Streets, and local cafés and restaurants. A bus stop is just a 2-minute walk away, offering easy connections to the rest of Malta.
I enjoy creating a cosy and welcoming space where guests can feel comfortable and at home. My goal is to ensure every stay is pleasant and memorable.
Located just a short walk from Mdina Gate, the neighbourhood offers a perfect blend of history, charm and convenience. This safe and peaceful area is ideal for families and travelers looking to experience Malta's rich heritage. Guests can explore the quiet, picturesque streets of Rabat, discover local cafés and restaurants and enjoy the unique atmosphere of Malta's oldest town. With key attractions, shops and public transport nearby, it's an ideal base for experiencing both the local culture and the rest of the island.
