“Charming location with authentic character in the heart of beautiful Birgu.”
Charming and authentic, right in the heart of the beautiful old town. A great bathroom! The location is fantastic—just a 5-minute walk to the ferry to Valletta, yet still quiet. All the essentials were provided; the air conditioning worked perfectly, and there were no power outages. We felt very well informed by our host in advance.

“9/10 - Would definitely stay again 🌞”
A beautiful, authentic and rustic place full of character. Everything about the stay felt special, and it really delivers if you’re looking for something real rather than a modern, generic apartment. The space is huge for a couple, which makes it feel even more relaxing. There’s also rooftop access, simple with just two chairs and a table, but we had drinks up there and it was really pleasant and private. The location is brilliant, we were delighted to realise that the ferry from Birgu to Valletta is literally at the end of the road, less than a 5-minute walk from the apartment, which made getting around incredibly easy. We’d seen reviews mentioning it could be cold, but that’s clearly been addressed, there’s extra bedding and two heaters, and it was extremely cosy during our stay. Overall, an amazing place. Don’t be put off by other reviews, this is an old building with charm, not a brand-new hotel, and that’s exactly what makes it so good.

“We loved everything. The hosts were very welcoming. We highly recommend this apartment.”
The apartments exactly matched the photos. There was plenty of space for three people. Since we visited in winter, we turned on the heaters at night, and it was nice and warm. The area was beautiful, and everything was comfortable. There were two large terraces, perfect for sitting with a glass of wine in the evening.

Great location, in the old town. The old house was very 'Malta-like', and much bigger than you think! Great for 2 people.

“Beautiful 😍”
Absolutely beautiful place. I appreciated the age of the building and character, etc. Birgu is a very beautiful place and lots to see. The location of the little house is perfect with easy access to the ferry to go over to valetta waterfront, etc. Museums close by and a big market up the road on a Tuesday. There are plenty of things to do and places to eat or drink close by. The host was absolutely wonderful and fixed a small issue promptly without hesitation, which we greatly appreciated. Such a kind-hearted soul and was a pleasure to meet. I would 100% recommend staying here as not only is the price good but if you appreciate the beauty of places then this is where you want to be heading. Book!

“Charming, Clean, and Convenient: A Delightful Stay in Historic Birgu”
I recently stayed at a charming building in the historic area of Birgu, Malta, and it was an exquisite experience. The property perfectly captures the essence of old Malta, offering a genuine glimpse into its rich heritage. Its location is ideal—conveniently close to all the attractions in Birgu and just a short boat ride from Valletta, making it easy to explore the capital city. The building itself is stunning, reflecting the unique architectural beauty of the region. The owner was extremely lovely and helpful, accommodating an early arrival with ease. The house was also impeccably clean, enhancing the overall comfort of the stay. The only minor issue during my visit was the lack of hot water, but given the warm temperatures, this was more of a minor inconvenience than a major problem. Overall, I highly recommend staying here for a true taste of Malta’s charm. The experience felt authentic and immersive, and the exceptional hospitality made it a memorable part of my trip.
