Historic home c.1580 in the most beautiful street in Birgu (Vittoriosa)

Villa Mistral is a historical house built circa 1580. Once residence to a knight of the Order of St John, now restored and updated as a holiday home. The property is located in the heart of historic Birgu (Vittoriosa). The street Triq Hilda Tabone is one of the most picturesque in Malta and forms part of the famous 'Collachio', filled with renaissance palazzo and Auberges. Birgu is a peninsula surrounded by the sea, if you fancy taking a morning swim.

Birgu is a peaceful haven, perfect for relaxation, but only an 8 minute ferry ride across the Grand Harbour into the hustle and bustle of Valletta city. The main square is at the end of the street with a selection of restaurants and cafes. A short walk will take you down to the harbour's edge where the yacht marina has an additional range of restaurants and bars.

The accommodation is spread over four floors and offers visitors a rare opportunity to experience living in a historic Maltese house packed with original features. From the moment you open the front door and enter the grand hallway with its vaulted ceiling you are immersed in Maltese history. Enjoy the cool tranquillity of the private courtyard with its lush planting or relax in the sunshine on the roof terrace.

The local restaurants offer fantastic menus, so you may not need to cook, but if you wish to, our modern kitchen has all the amenities you will need - or fire up the BBQ!

Staying at Villa Mistral will give you a taste of the real Malta.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 4 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board. Housekeeping is available on request.

Perfect location , beautiful Palace

From the moment you step into this palace, you could not ask for anything more. The most beautiful place you could ask for. We were two families totaling seven. Everyone had their own space, own bathroom. Centrally located in Birgu. Mark is the host was always responsive. Do not hesitate to book this place.

Beautiful Birgu

Marcus was the perfect host. He met us on arrival and allowed us to store our bags whilst we walked around the historic city and he made the house perfect. Beautiful house, he really has a good eye with all rooms fitted out to an extremely high standard, whilst retaining all of the original charm and features. Two firework displays whilst we were there, the sevind in my brother’s birthday which we watched from the fabulous roof terrace. Could not have been better
