This unique duplex townhouse is perched directly on St. Paul’s Square, with a private balcony offering front-row views of Mdina’s iconic Cathedral. If you’re looking for a truly authentic Maltese experience in one of Europe’s finest medieval cities, you’ve just found it. The Property No. 17 is a lovingly remodelled duplex townhouse right at the heart of Mdina. The city — known as the ‘Silent City’ — is a perfectly preserved medieval fortress town, home to only around 300 residents. Staying here feels like living inside an open-air museum — every winding alley and limestone facade tells a story spanning thousands of years. Your home blends timeless character with modern comforts. Original stone walls and traditional Maltese features have been paired with updated furnishings and practical amenities, creating a cosy retreat that’s perfect for couples, solo travellers, or small groups who appreciate charm, history, and unbeatable location. Layout & Sleeping Arrangements Spread across two floors and connected by a traditional spiral staircase, the townhouse provides: Ground Floor: Welcoming entrance hall/dining area with dining table and chairs— a bright spot to enjoy a leisurely breakfast with sunlight streaming through the main door. Fully equipped kitchen with cooker, oven, fridge/freezer, microwave, kettle, and plenty of cookware to prepare meals at home. Washing machine, ironing board and iron — handy for longer stays. Quaint shower room with a separate WC. Top Floor: Spacious main bedroom that comfortably sleeps 2, with two single beds that can be joined into one king-size bed. Wake up to breathtaking views of the Cathedral — a true highlight! Cosy living room with recently upholstered sofas — perfect for reading a book, relaxing with a glass of wine, or simply watching the gentle life of the square below. Private balcony accessible from the bedroom and living room, overlooking St. Paul’s Square and the Cathedral. It’s a guest favourite — you’ll see why as soon as you step out! Extra Guests: A folding bed can be set up for a third guest in the living or dining area. A sofa bed can accommodate a fourth guest. Note: Privacy for extra guests is limited since these spaces are shared. It works best for families or close friends comfortable sharing open areas. Included Amenities We want your stay to feel as seamless and comfortable as possible: \- Wi-Fi throughout the property. \- Fans and heaters depending on the season — Mdina’s thick walls help regulate temperatures naturally. \- Fresh linen and towels provided. \- Welcome pack provided — our way of saying Merħba! (Welcome!) \- Local guidebooks, maps and tips to help you make the most of your time here. Baby cot available on request. Airport pick-up, taxi bookings and local recommendations — we live nearby and are always happy to help! Guest Access You’ll have exclusive use of the entire duplex. Free public parking is available just outside Mdina’s main gates (5-minute walk). Local parking attendants are friendly and tipping is customary. A limited residential parking permit may be arranged for one vehicle — please check in advance if needed. Why Stay Here Mdina is unlike anywhere else in Malta. Staying inside the walls is rare — many listings claim ‘Mdina’ but are actually in Rabat or just outside the city gates. This townhouse is genuinely within the fortified city — your balcony literally overlooks the Cathedral and main square. Guests love: The unbeatable location in St. Paul’s Square The iconic balcony view — perfect for people-watching or photos The cosy, authentic feel of a traditional Maltese home The warm local hospitality — we’re nearby if you need anything, but give you complete privacy to enjoy Mdina at your own pace. About Mdina – The Silent City Mdina was Malta’s old capital city for centuries — a labyrinth of stone streets, noble houses, and hidden courtyards. By day, visitors come to admire its history, palaces, museums, and breathtaking views over the island. By night, when the day trippers leave, Mdina returns to its peaceful, timeless calm — with romantic lamplit streets and an atmosphere you’ll never forget. Step outside your door and you’re moments from excellent restaurants, cafes, charming wine bars, and small shops — all within the ancient walls. The surrounding town of Rabat, just beyond Mdina’s gate, offers even more local life, bakeries and hidden gems. 🍷 A Warm Local Welcome To make your arrival special, we prepare a small welcome package with a bottle of local wine and traditional Maltese treats — it’s a little taste of island life, best enjoyed on your balcony overlooking the square. 💡 Good to Know The property is not wheelchair accessible due to the historic spiral staircase. Because this is an original historic home, the staircase may be challenging for those with mobility concerns. The property comfortably hosts 2 adults. Groups up to 4 are welcome but should be aware that the extra beds are best suited for families or very close friends, due to the shared living spaces. 🌍 Environmental Contribution In line with local laws, an environmental contribution of €0.50 per adult (18+) per night applies, capped at €5 per person per stay. We collect this on arrival and pass it directly to the government to support upkeep of Malta’s heritage sites. Booking & Contact We love sharing Mdina with guests from around the world and we’re committed to helping you feel at home in our beloved ‘Silent City’. We live close by and are always happy to help with local tips, transport, special requests or recommendations — just ask! Book your stay at No. 17 today — wake up inside history, and experience Mdina like a true local. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is no carbon monoxide detector on the property but there are gas appliances; consider bringing a portable detector) - No smoke detector (host has indicated there is no smoke detector on the property) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 3:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 18 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a private host (a party not acting within their trade, business or profession).
