Palazzino Birgu Host Family Bed and Breakfast

Location is excellent, just a couple of minutes away from the ferry boats to Valletta and a number of good restaurants at a stone throw away. Yet it is quiet and away from the noises. As you are so close to the waterfront, it is a joy to jog or stroll in the early morning or late evening. You can access the roof top through ancient circular staircases for a panoramic view of the city. If you have heavy luggages and weak knees, then it is a challenge to carry it up to the top floor. Breakfast is nice and sufficient, not lavish.

Beautiful remodeled old home in great location to walk around Birgu, close to harbor. Comfortable with wonderful breakfast.

It was ok.

Great. Stay here for many reasons, best part of Malta to stay at, quiet and away from all the party and noise. In a true old/medieval building modernized with taste. Steps to water and choices for restaurants as well at the boats to Valetta. You will also enjoy a wonderful host.

Unsurpassed at every turn, Palazzino Birgu is the most unique place I have ever stayed. Its unassuming facade hides a labyrinth of nooks and crannies, stairways leading to the heavens and an open interior which transports you back over half a millennium. Despite arriving in the early hours, great communication ensured my key was passed to the taxi driver, awaiting my airport arrival - ably arranged by the delightful host Chiara. With just 3 rooms, this is not your typical stay but offers as much as you wish to take and absorb. The rooftop terrace offers panoramic views of Valletta and out to the Mediterranean Sea. The breakfast area would befit a Tudor feast and a whiff of nostalgia could easily send you back to when the lower levels were occupied with equine guests. More of the same please.

My husband and I are just back from a two month trip around Europe. The highlight of our trip was our stay in Malta at the beautiful Palazzino Birgu! Our hostess Chiara, could not have been more accomodating and anticipated our every need. We just wished we could have spent more time there. The building is steeped in history and is beautifully presented. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and the room luxurious. We could not recommend highly enough. We will be back! Thank you Chiara.
