History and Zabbar Town Zabbar, pronounced 'Zabb-arr' is the fifth largest town in Malta, with a population of just over 18,000 souls. Zabbar was granted the title of Citta Hompesch by the last of the Grandmasters of the Knights of St. John to reign in Malta, Ferdinand von Hompesch. Żabbar is a small, traditional town, within walking distance of an exciting new marina development in an area called the Cottonera (or 'Three Cities') centred in Fort St Angelo.
In broad-brush terms, Maltese society is divided between the north and the south, with Valletta sitting on the dividing line. Historically, the Cottonera -- the walled citadel that is a cannonball's throw from Żabbar -- was the cradle of modern Malta. It was here that the Knights of St John first settled and created the harbours for their powerful fleet in the 16th Century. Zabbar is an authentic hide-away on the edge of the Cottonera, with good wine bars and restaurants already established in Vittoriosa, and within walking distance of the house.
Zabbar Sanctuary and Museum Nowadays, Żabbar is a very prosperous village, with a number of small- to medium-sized businesses opening to cater for the city's ever-increasing needs. Amongst the famous personalities that emerged from Zabbar is the former President Miss Agatha Barbara. Żabbar is famous for its village feast on the first Sunday after the 8th September, which features a motorcycle and bicycle pilgrimage each starting from Mosta and Rabat respectively. This is done because Our Lady Of Graces is the patron of cyclists. Strong competition exists between the village's two band clubs, locally known as the Societa' Filarmonica Maria Mater Gratiๆ (the Blues) and the Għaqda Madonna Tal-Grazzja Banda San Mikiel (the Greens). You will seen small blue and green coloured globe-lights on tall poles around the town, indicating allegience.
The biggest architectural feature of the town is the Sanctuary, dedicated to Our Lady of Graces, and the Museum.
The Hypogeum and Tarxien Temples The ancient Hypogeum is a short local bus ride away from the house. However this megalithic monument books up two weeks in advance so please DO go online and book your tickets before you arrive. Tours are of one hour in duration and allow only 10 people on any one tour each hour. It is a stupendous relic of prehistoric times and a World Heritage site www.maltatickets.com

Verified Homeowner
Why is Lupain Holiday Rentals the only holiday rental company to verify the ownership of holiday accommodation? Research has shown that not all advertisers are genuine. There have been cases where people have booked holiday accommodation only to find out it does not exist.
This sort of ‘scam’ is hard to comprehend but these days fraudsters are coming up with ever more imaginative ways of obtaining money by deception from innocent people like you. We do not want holidaymakers who book with us to fall victim to this type of scheme. Money is mostly hard earned we know, so taking a holiday is usually a major expense. In addition, we do not want you to remember us for a shattered dream.
Therefore, in order to protect you we have introduced our Owner Verification Scheme. We ask all holiday home advertisers to submit proof that they own the property they are advertising. Only when we are satisfied that an advertiser and their property is genuine do we add our Green Shield to their property advert. Apart from being a deterrent, it also encourages advertisers to make sure they verify their property, giving you peace of mind when you make your booking.
If you want to make a booking look for the Green Shield on the top right of the property advert, if you do not see our Green Shield it may mean we have not yet completed the verification process. We normally complete this process within a few days if no verification is forthcoming the advert is removed.
We take this Owner Verification Scheme very seriously for your protection. If you have any doubts about the validity of an advert or misrepresentation please contact us with your concerns.
Please note, Lupain Holiday Rentals does not verify the advertisement content placed on this website by property owners, nor do we offer any guarantee as to the correctness of the advertising information placed on this website by third parties.
