Exclusive Rory’s Travel Club: Grand Hotel Excelsior

Per Person

The Grand Hotel Excelsior is beautiful hotel is two minutes away from Valletta, Malta’s capital and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Sixteenth century fortifications surround the property with its olive gardens making it the only luxury hotel within Malta with such historic architecture. This offers guests the opportunity to re-live Malta’s rich history whilst relaxing in a Mediterranean escape.

Malta is blessed with a rugged and appealing coastline, boasting secluded bays and sandy beaches hidden between rocky outcrops, which attract travellers at least as much as the historical sightseeing. The island’s compact size is also a plus for visitors. It takes no more than an hour to drive between any two points on the main island, and there is very little open space. The dense population means that the island is virtually one large urban area, with buildings occupying every inch. The islanders enjoy life to the full, and the calendar is liberally sprinkled with summertime , with fireworks and revelry in every little parish in honour of the village patron saints, as well as the major carnival in early spring every year. The capital, Valletta, besides offering some awesome Baroque buildings and fortifications as its main sightseeing attractions, is bursting with restaurants and cafes.

Three Cities and Wine Tasting Tour

The three cities are a collective description of the three fortified cities of Cospicua, Vittoriosa and Senglea. During the tour you will drive past Cospicua, a double-fortified harbour city and the largest of the three. You will then arrive in Vittoriosa. Vittoriosa is ideally situated for safe anchorage and over time it has developed a very long history with maritime and military activities. The third city is Senglea. The name Senglea was given by the grandmaster who built it, Claude De La Sengle. The island on which Senglea lies was joined by a land bridge to Cospicua during the time of the Knights of St. John.

During this tour you will walk through the various narrow streets shaded by many historic churches and buildings. You will then drive to the Marsovin Cellars in Marsa. The wine tasting tour commences with a historical introduction amongst original artefacts, followed by an explanation about the process of how the locally grown grapes are pressed, fermented and eventually transformed into wine. The wine sampling is held in the Marsovin wine bar, where trained staff guide guests trough a wine tasting session to sample different Marsovin wines accompanied by a selection of local savouries like maltese bread and cheese.
