Historic terraced house in Birgu Center

In one of the oldest streets of Birgu is this small house dating back over 500 years. It features a water well which was hand carved into the stone and also a very fun cave-like bedroom. Legend has it that this space was used as a chapel but in most recent years it has housed several poker-games for the villagers of Birgu.

The area which was used as a chapel has a hand carved arch making this house a true masterpiece of the era of the knights of St.John - if only the walls could talk!

The space

The house features 2 bedrooms - one double room which is set in a very cosy cave like semi-basement, and a kids room with bunk beds. The space can also accommodate another 2 people on a very comfortable sofa-bed. A total of 6 guests can enjoy this incredible house. There is also a little kitchen for self catering and a shower which is designed like old Maltese tiles. A new Smart-TV is also available along-side high speed internet.

An AC is available in the main Bedroom, while fans are available all around the house. There is a flight of stairs to access the main bedroom. The stairs are also closed by a gate for safety as it is quite steep.(See pictures).

The house was designed with modern furniture for ultimate comfort while staying in a part of history.

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)

Enjoy your stay in our little historic gem! - Jonathan

Birgu and Helen are lovely
The property is an amazing 500 year old dwelling. It is conveniently located in the midst of a beautiful neighborhood and kind neighbors. It took us a few days to get used to the beds. They are made of springs, so if you are used to sleeping on a different kind of mattress, this can be challenging to the back.

Le lieu est magnifique. Qq douci à l arrivee pour des détails d installations. Drap, wifi
Très belle demeure, ds un quartier extra. Juste des petits soucis sur le fonctionnement de la maison.. Draps, wifi, dehumidificateur, branchements électrique . Mais nous y avons trouvé du confort. Merci pr le dépaysement.

Good location
The appartement is historically interesting. But to spend specially the nights there its not really comfortable. Humidity is to high and there is no chance to get it more less. But the location is nice! Birgu has a nice old town and to go to Valletta with fairy is really easy.
