About this property
Cosy Townhouse in Historic centre
This cosy townhouse is located in one of the oldest streets of Birgu (Vittoriosa) and likely is over 500 years old dating back to the time of the knights of St.John! With a lot of care it has been converted into a lovely house which is perfect for a romantic getaway for 2 people. This is the ideal location to not only relax in a little gem in Birgu, but also to live in a piece of history for your magical stay in Malta.
The space
The space is finished with new and modern furniture and includes a 42 inch Smart TV, a fully equipped kitchen and also a bathroom boasting Maltese style tiles. We have also included some personalized paintings which have been hand painted for those art lovers who would like their stay to not only be comfortable but also stylish in the heart of Malta and Birgu.
Guest access
You will be able to access the whole house and will also have your own entrance with a classic Maltese door - just like you see on Malta's postcards! :)
Interaction with guests
We will meet you in person to give you the key and to show you the house. Welcome pack will be available upon arrival. By request we can also pick you up at the airport so that you can find the place hassle free! (small fee)

Cute Maltese townhouse
This cute property is full of original features and is situated in a pristine, quiet residential area, close to amenities and historical points of interest. Good communication with the host and clear instructions on accessing the property. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend both the property and the host.

Four days in Malta
This property suited us perfectly, in the centre of the ancient city with many destinations that we wished to visit within walking distance and only a few minutes walk from the regular ferry to Valetta. No need for a car. Lovely ancient quiet street and the apartment was perfectly comfortable for us. A number of good restaurants, cafes and bars very locally. Really enjoyed discovering this part of Malta.

Best in Birgu
I am so glad I chose this suite in Birgu/Vittoriosa for my visit. At least in mid-May it is not crowded compared to Valletta. It is located on a beautiful street and it put a smile on my face every morning as I set out and every evening coming home to wander along it.
The suite has great character and everything I needed. When I locked myself out the host responded within minutes with a way to get back in.
Some nights I chose one of the restaurants along the harbour and watched the lights of Senglea, others I chose one on the town square just a block away.
While there is much to see in Birgu, Valletta is also only a few minutes away by water taxi, which are a great way to travel across the harbour.
For those who tire of the crowds, I would strongly recommend this suite. You get the best of both cities.
