Maple Farm B&B

$ | Triq Il-Buskett, Rabat, Malta Fodor's Choice

This gem, a former pig farm just outside of the center of Rabat, was opened in 2012 by the current owner, who lives in nearby Dingli, where he grew up. The original owners migrated to Canada (hence the name) after World War II, and returned ready to invest in something new. The owner also has a nearby vineyard and olive groves—guided tours of his farm are worth your time. Comfortable rooms (it was the family home before its conversion), a two-bed garden flat, and a large pool make it perfect for families. It's only a short walk to Rabat and Mdina, and the forests of Buskett are nearby, too. You won't find a warmer welcome in all of Malta.

Pros

  • Great location away from the tourist hustle of Mdina
  • Charming hosts and good value for money
  • Tours of the family vineyard are a bonus

Cons

  • A rooster that doesn't understand the meaning of "sleep in"
  • It's a 10-minute walk to get into town
  • In the heat of summer you'll need a car to get around
