Tucked inside the ancient walls of Mdina — Malta’s medieval Silent City — Palazzo Bifora is a six-suite boutique hotel in a restored 14th-century palazzo once owned by a Knight of Malta. Named after the striking mullioned window on its limestone façade, it blends medieval architecture with elegant contemporary design, a rooftop pool with skyline views, and the intimate Lumiere restaurant, all within a car-free city of extraordinary stillness.
