About this property

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.

About the host

Host profile image
Hi I am Marcus and I am Anglo-Maltese. I am a Maltese history and historic house lover. I love this house and the area and I want to share this amazing property with you. We have a spent a long time getting this house just how we want it and hope you enjoy it too.

Why they chose this property

Birgu is 'old' Malta in its authentic self, historic, immaculately clean and quiet without being lifeless. The quaint old streets are charming. It's close to the marina and the beach. And Valletta is just 15 mins away what's not to like?

What makes this property unique

Villa Mistral forms the major part of a former renaissance Palazzo built in the late 16th century. From the outside it has fine baroque stone features, beautiful overhanging balconies and the famous traditional Maltese enclosed balcony called a 'Gallerija'. Once inside the entrance hall you will be impressed by the stone mouldings around the doorways, and the stone vaulted ceiling, the cantilevered staircase is a work of art in itself. You can follow into the courtyard where there are tropical plants and a table and chairs so you can read a book and enjoy a coffee. All the bedrooms are furnished beautifully with excellent mattresses. There is a fabulous roof terrace with partial sea views of `Valletta and the grand harbour
