Company information

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.
