Point de Vue

More akin to a school dinner than a dining establishment. I cake here as part of a guided tour, which included a three course meal and glass of wine. My opinions of the place were initially high, due to the location and apparent busyness. However, all highs must have a low, and this low just kept getting lower. I sat down, and was informed the meal would be a pesto pasta starter, lamb main (and an undisclosed vegetarian option for those who didn't eat lamb) and imqaret dessert. Sounds wonderful, does it not? Wrong. The pesto pasta came as just a few pieces on a large plate, but at least it was edible. When the main came out (or attempted to come out, as the kitchen had miscalculated the number of meat and vegetarian options, leading to a scene not at all different to a school where we had to put our hands up for the meal option we wanted, and still instead of rectifying their mistake, they tried to force the spare vegetarian meals on people!) it was cold, beige, and there was more bone on the pork than there was meat! The dessert was somehow even worse, being a burnt and somehow tasteless take on what is otherwise a delightful food. And the icing on the cake? The wine was the same brand I had seen in the local shop for €3, and no non-alcoholic options were offered (unless you wanted to pay €1 for a lukewarm bottle of water that you had to drink out of the plastic bottle because having another glass was somehow too demanding!). But hey, at least there was a nice view out of the window...

A lovely place to stay - friendly staff, clean and comfortable bedroom, adequate shower room, excellent breakfast, and next to a car park so easy car-parking. |Our bedroom had a wonderful country view from our ancient balcony. The prevailing wind had loosened the external windows, but as sailors we enjoyed the noise of the wind!

We have just come back after a week at Point de Vue to celebrate our Anniversary.||All the management and staff were very welcoming, friendly and cheerful. The building itself has a lot of history and we think a cut above a guesthouse! Our room was fantastic with a view across the green countryside.||The location could not be better with Mdina Gate literally just a stroll away. We spent many a happy hour just wandering around there. The bus stops are also just outside the guesthouse and we went to quite a few places on the bus as it was so easy.||The hearty breakfast included in the price set us up for the day and we had lunch or dinner quite a few times. The 3 cheese lovers pasta with walnuts was delicious, beware the portions are generous😃. The pizzas were also very good. The restaurant was also used by the locals which we think is always a good sign.||All in all, it was a fabulous week and we were sorry to leave. We have been to Malta quite a few times and will return again definately to Point du Vue.

The pictures and review don’t give this place justice. It is amazing, service is great, family run, and within walking distance of everything. Happy we got to stay here.

Spotlessly clean, great value and lovely staff. The joint owners/ management are really obliging and helpful. Food is good and generous. I was so pleased to stay here. Was made extremely welcome. Lunchtimes can be very busy at the hotel with large parties in their many dining rooms but front of house service is not affected. Be aware that the hotel is surrounded by roads and a car park but those who know Malta know it is chocabloc with cars everywhere! I will book to return next year, no hesitation

I've stayed at Point de Vue many times over the past 5 years as I've been undertaking a project on Malta. It's a great place with lots of character. The rooms are spacious, well finished and always kept very clean. The staff are friendly and helpful. The breakfasts are generous and tasty. 20% off meals in the restaurant is a big bonus for lunch and evening meals. Although parking is public I always managed to find a place nearby. I'm just sorry the work has ended and I won't be returning.

We visited this restaurant many times and we were always satisfied with their service and even food is always delicious. Staff are very friendly and know their job well. The place was always clean too. We were thinking to go and stay for a weekend. Highly recommend their restaurant.

Great staff and very friendly. I wanted a location close to Mdina and we got it! Would recommend! We had room 1.
