Stylish comfort at No. 17 Birgu. This four-storey townhouse features three private bedrooms, one on each floor, and a shared living room/workspace and kitchenette on the ground floor. The two large rooms each have a king bed (160x200cm), 100% cotton sheets, an orthopaedic mattress, feather and memory foam pillows, a mini fridge with a coffee/tea station, a private balcony, a flat screen cable TV, WiFi, remote-controlled ceiling fans and a Heater/Air Conditioner. The shower and sink area is located within the room (behind the half wall) and includes luxury cotton towels, a hair dryer and basic toiletries. The private en-suite is located just outside the bedroom door. A baby cot is also available upon request. If needed, a steam iron and ironing board is located on the top floor. Free street parking is available throughout Birgu (just make sure to park within the white lines, not yellow). The townhouse is a 1-minute walk from the main piazza of Birgu, which has lovely cafés, restaurants and wine bars. Birgu has the historic charm of neighbouring Valletta, but with a more relaxed and authentic atmosphere.
A Canadian girl came to Malta on holiday, met a charming Maltese man, fell in love and never left. Mark and Sacha are so excited to welcome guests to their new property, No. 17 Birgu.
Birgu (also known as Città Vittoriosa) is a quiet haven, beloved by both locals and visitors alike, located on the Grand Harbour of Malta. No. 17 Birgu is well located with many cultural and historical sites nearby – 1 minute walk to the bus stop in the piazza; 2 minute walk to the Inquisitors Palace; 4 minute walk to the Maritime Museum; 4 minute walk to the Vittoriosa (Birgu) waterfront; 5 minute walk to Fort St Angelo; 5 minute walk to the City Ferry to Valletta (through the Grand Harbour) Via Bus – catch the #2 bus from the main piazza in Birgu to go to the central bus terminal in Valletta, where you can transfer to any other bus route. By Ferry – walk down to the waterfront (5 mins) and catch the City Ferry to Valletta, cruising through the majestic Grand Harbour. If you require a private taxi or shuttle to get to or from the airport, we are happy to help with arrangements.
