Palazzino Birgu Host Family Bed and Breakfast

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.
