Company info

The house could not be better located than in Birgu, the original Malta home of the Knights of St John. It simply lives and breathes the atmosphere of those famous days. The glorious stonework in limestone blends delightfully with the high ceilings, so totally characteristic of nobility. Modern and magnificent facilities throughout are stylishly blended into the fabric of the Palazzino, truly the perfect base for your Malta experience.

Property info

The ground floor consists of the entrance hall, the formal lounge, our reception, the kitchen/living/dining area, the courtyard and the foot of the main staircase. On each of the first and second floors there are two fabulous bedroom suites, the two main ones including a grand bath itself in the ensuite facilities. At the top of the house there is a magnificent roof terrace. The Palazzino is available for quality parties, dinners, receptions, weddings, and meetings.
