Casa Bonavita
- Location: Attard, Malta
- Why it’s notable: This 17-room hotel is set in a restored 18th-century villa in Attard, one of a trio of quiet inland villages known for baroque homes and citrus gardens. It’s a stylish alternative to the island’s larger hotels, which can often feel like they lack authenticity.
- Type of traveler who will love this hotel: Anyone who wants to skip the big city hotel for something with character.
- What’s nearby: Casa Bonavita sits between Mdina and Valletta (both under 30 minutes by car), making it easy to explore the island’s walled cities, markets, beaches, and dive sites.
- Opening: May 2026
