Photos and Description of the Island of Malta vacation chateau / country house rental 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, sleeps up to 11 - Terrace, view over the waterfront

A beautifully reconstructed tower, “Torre dei Cavalieri”, in the heart of Birgu (named Vittoriosa after the victory over the Turks in 1565) overlooking the most elegant harbour in Malta (Grand Harbour Marina) with stunning views over the waterfront and adjacent to the oldest and most historical buildings (St. Lawrence – the Knights’ original Cathedral; The Inquisitors’ Palace, the Auberges of Provence, Auvergne, Italy, England, etc.). This is one of the most prestigious locations of the whole island, right next door to the Casino di Venezia, with its excellent restaurant. There are several wine-bars and a water-taxi service which operates all day including evenings to Valletta. The area is the oldest of Malta, dating back to before 1565 (when Sultan Soleiman the Great and his admiral Dragut attempted in vain to invade) and was defended by the forts of St. Angelo – thereafter the site of the British Royal Navy for many years and now that of the Order of St. John and St. Elmo.

Among places of interest to visit in Valletta are the co-Cathedral (with the only signed painting by Caravaggio) and the Knights’ Palace, with a very fine collection of firearms and Gobelin tapestries, gifts of the Grand Masters. The old ”Silent City” of Mdina is a must, with its wonderful cathedral and unforgettable architecture. There are many restaurants and bars well worth stopping at, in particular the Xara Palace (“Relais des Chateaux”) which has a very good outside “trattoria”.

Poorly Represeted

Francis Naperville Illinois USA
Review Submitted: August 13, 2009 Date of Stay: November 2008
We were very dissappointed with our stay at this location. The refurbishing of the unit is still in need of detail. The plumbing was out for three days during our stay and the owner is unwilling to make good on the problem.
Owner's Response: The party of eight guests rented the entire property(5 bedrooms&3.5 bathrooms from 21 through 28 October2008
(not November)but what is relevant is the statement"The refurbishing of the unit is still in need of detail"which is not only incomprehensible, but conflicts with the appreciation the guests expressed to the caretaker.There was a partial lack of hot water over the weekend 25-26October(though hot water was available in one of the bathrooms)and this was remedied on 28October-by which time the guests had departed.

Wonderful place, terrific vacation!

The Hamburgers Hamburg, Germany
Review Submitted: August 29, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We - a German family of 6 - stayed at Torre 2 weeks in July and August 2009 and LOVED IT! The house is spacious, perfectly kept, clean, totally functional and very, very comfortable, so granting a very smooth stay, no problems whatsoever. Its position makes reaching Valletta, St George and many other places in the island very easy. Together with a breathtaking view from the terrace, all the historical buildings surrounding make you feel like you are back in time, one of the Maltese knights. The staff is very helpful and professional, always eager to help with suggestions, hints etc.. We particularly appreciated the airport pickup service and the owner's kindness. Two thumbs up for this rental! (Helmut from Hamburg)

We had a great vacation here

Review Submitted: March 5, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2008
We are from France and spent 10 days here. The property was clean and well kept, very elegant, much better than in the photos and we got everything we expected, exactly like tehy say in the advert, or more. The view over the harbour is fantastic. Everything was near, shops of all types and great little restaurants. This place is totally different from the others, unique. We recommend it and will surely come back.

Beautiful, scenic, terrific location

Review Submitted: March 4, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2008
Hallo - We stayed 1 week at this gorgeous house and were totally happy with it. The caretaker is a nice guy who helped us in many ways, the house was very clean and comfortable and got everything we needed for a great stay. The location is perfect even if you don't have a car and the view from the windows and the terraces is terrific! All the previous contacts with the owner were excellent too and we had no problem all throughout the booking stage and the actual stay. We 100% recommend this place, which is unique and a great value for your money.

Excellent accommodation, a great vacation!

Bronwall UK
Review Submitted: March 3, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2008
This is a lovely, well priced house in an excellent location. There was no street noise. Communication with the owner prior was great & the caretaker he has looking after the place insisted we contacted them if we needed anything & the place was immaculately clean. It's a beautiful, spacious old building & every bedroom (we had both places for 10 people) was nice & a good size, there was 3 bathrooms & a further toilet. the living area is on the top floor, so didn't make any noise for the bedrooms. The view is SPECTACULAR - the photos don't do it justice. As we were there in winter so we didn't use the terrace much but in summer this would be amazing. The area is the lovely, 2 mins walk from the house is a prommenade with 6-7 restaurants all with outdoor seating right on the Grand Canal, we went to 'Two and a half Lemon' on new years eve which was well priced & good fun. We went for 5 days & didn't do too much apart from relaxing, a harbour cruise in a water taxi which leaves from just outside the house, a boat trip to Valetta (5 mins by water taxi) & wandered Vittoriosa. A casino is nearby, but we didn't go in. We had a great time at TORRE DEI CAVALIERI & would higly recommend it for a group or family holiday.
