Property Description
Set within one of Birgu’s oldest buildings dating from the early 1500s, when the village became the first seat of the Order of St. John in Malta, is this beautiful House Of Character tucked away in the heart of the ancient hamlet of Birgu.
The house was sensitively restored to its former glory by the present owner into a family residence, having also an MTA license as a Guest House. The property features four well appointed suites that open a window into a unique hospitality concept where East and West are harmoniously balanced. One is welcomed into the traditional Maltese architectural features that are offset amidst eclectic antiques, which the owners collected during their travels and over time.
The house has two entrances, the main entrance leads to an imposing arched living and dining area, leading all the way to the kitchen area. The other entrance takes one to the lift, the guest powder room, and the central courtyard enjoying a wood fireplace and a skylight that can be closed or opened according to the season. An imposing spiral staircase dominates the courtyard and leads all the way up to the roof level.
The first floor level accommodates two double bedrooms, the first suite, in the former 'Camera Nobile', features a private alcove with a double bed, and a unique balcony looking onto the cozy street and measuring about 50 sqm. The second is a 40 sqm twin suite with a cozy living quarter bedecked with one-of-a-kind antique furnishings and a show-stopping Maltese chandelier. If you look close enough, you may find a unique secret hidden within its thick walls. The second level opens into a twin suite that mixes Dame Vivienne Westwood's eye-catching wall feature with its private zen terrace amidst the butterflies, having its own private en-suite. On the third level, one finds a light-filled double suite overlooking the historical neighborhood and provides lofty views of the Annunciation Church nearby.
The roof level is an oasis of peace where one can relax, while on the upper roof one can enjoy views of the marina, city views all the way to Valletta and the Grand Harbor.
A hidden gem for those looking for a grand home in a historical city or someone looking for a boutique hotel ready to operate.

Where you'll live
Vittoriosa
Birgu is the oldest of the three cities that include Senglea & Cospicua and is a beautiful and peaceful town in the South of Malta, which also boasts a rich and vibrant history. Situated on the south side of Grand Harbour, this old fortified city is also known as Citta Vittoriosa as a reminder of Malta's successfully defending the city against the Ottoman siege in the 16th century. Although Birgu is a quiet and peaceful city, there is also lots to see and do here. Birgu is developing into a high profile historical showcase of Maltese tradition with its medieval nostalgia reflected in its alleyways, winding streets and converted townhouses. You can visit Malta's largest museum, the Maritime War Museum and also the Malta at War Museum in Birgu. This is a city at the very center of Maltese and Mediterranean history starting from the ancient times of the Phoenicians, Greeks, and Romans, right through to the Byzantines, Arabs, Normans, and up to the age of Napoleon and modern times. While walking the streets of Birgu you will also discover the beautiful architecture this city has to offer. Birgu also enjoys a picturesque waterfront boasting beautiful yachts and restaurants offering superb food and drink such as the Don Berto or the Del Borgo as well as a beautiful seaside promenade.
