16th century Furnished holiday rental for sale in Birgu
€ 939,000
Description
Tucked away in a quiet corner of the historic Collacchio area of Vittoriosa, just behind the Inquisitor’s Palace, this remarkable home offers a rare opportunity to own a beautifully restored property in one of Malta’s most treasured heritage zones. Thoughtfully furnished with bespoke pieces designed specifically for the space, the house is rich in character and historic charm.
The layout includes a grand dining room with soaring 4-metre ceilings, a separate kitchen, and a stunning bedroom—formerly the house chapel, leading to a double-shower ensuite. A modern spiral staircase leads up to a bright sitting room with high ceilings and large apertures, which opens onto three rooftop terraces: one shaded by a pergola for relaxing in the summer sun, another ideal for sunbathing, and a third with access to the solar panels and water tanks. A beautifully preserved original stone spiral staircase descends to a cozy, atmospheric library with floor-to-ceiling dark wood shelving, which can also be transformed into a second bedroom.
Just a short stroll from the Marina’s elegant cafés and restaurants, and a 10-minute ferry or water taxi from the capital, this home offers the perfect blend of peace and accessibility. With solar panels meeting most of the energy needs and insulated roofs reducing reliance on the two fitted AC units, this is a rare blend of historic beauty and modern sustainability.
