La Maltese Mansion
An 1800s mansion turned guesthouse, near the cathedral
About this hotel
La Maltese Mansion trades hotel amenities for genuine character, a nineteenth-century building with understated rooms rather than a purpose-built hotel block. It sits three minutes' walk from Ayia Napa Cathedral, making the old town an easy evening destination after a day of slides at Fasouri Watermania. There's no pool here, so this suits a family who's happy to do all their swimming at the water park and wants the accommodation itself to be about atmosphere rather than facilities. Free breakfast and free Wi-Fi are included, and the airport shuttle covers arrivals without extra arranging. At three stars with genuinely historic bones, this is one of the more distinctive budget options on the list for a family who likes character over amenities.
- Historic mansion
- Old town location
- Free breakfast
- Airport shuttle
Our take
This suits a family who values genuine character and an old-town setting over hotel amenities, especially useful for keeping costs down on a longer Fasouri Watermania trip. It's not the pick for anyone wanting a pool or spa back at the property, since neither exists inside the mansion's historic walls.
- ✓Walk to Ayia Napa Cathedral and the surrounding streets in the evening, it's an easy, atmospheric stroll from the mansion.
- ✓Use the airport shuttle rather than arranging separate transport, it's included and simplifies arrival.
- ✓Book early in peak season, since the mansion's smaller room count and historic character mean it fills quickly.
