Maple Farm B&B
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.
