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. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 4 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Printer ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the city center - Near a health/beauty spa - Near the marina ### Things to do - Fishing nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bed sheets changed on request - Composting - Comprehensive food waste policy - Comprehensive recycling policy - Housekeeping (on request) - Towels (changed on request) - Unit size: 2,691 square feet ## Similar properties ![Marina](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/119000000/118120000/118113300/118113227/w1280h848x0y5-701677d2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lovely traditional 4BR Townhouse in charming Isla L-Isla - Kitchen - Washer - Air conditioning - Outdoor space [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-08&endDate=2025-11-09&selected=118113227&PinnedHotelID=118113227&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34480000/34470400/34470346/c18f5457.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### beautifully restored house of character in a historical setting Il-Birgu - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 9.2 Wonderful 15 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-08&endDate=2025-11-09&selected=34470346&PinnedHotelID=34470346&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34490000/34484100/34484017/afd8f7a4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Vineyard, Villa with private pool St Julian's - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 9 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-08&endDate=2025-11-09&selected=34484017&PinnedHotelID=34484017&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Marina](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34820000/34813600/34813529/66747865.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A remarkable 500 years old house of character.

He met us on arrival and allowed us to store our bags whilst we walked around the historic city and he made the house perfect. Beautiful house, he really has a good eye with all rooms fitted out to an extremely high standard, whilst retaining all of the original charm and features.
