4 Bedroom House in Birgu, Birgu (Vittoriosa)

A quiet street in the Collachio of Birgu, former headquarters of the Knights of St. John, is the setting for 11 TRIQ IL LBIC, a historic townhouse that rises from its medieval cellars to a 21st century roof terrace that features a pool, views of the sea and Valletta skyline. You enter the imposing hall under a ceiling mosaic of the night sky by Count Jonathan Bauman. At ground floor are two twin bedrooms with en suites, one accessed from the hall and the other from a courtyard/atrium at the rear, that rises the full height of the house, flooding all levels with natural light.To the left is a laundry room with washing machine and twin bowled ceramic sink. A grand staircase leads to the first floor which has two double rooms, separated by a small library. Both have en-suites and wrought iron balconies overlooking the street. All bedrooms have wardrobes and generous storage space for suitcases etc. The walls of all bedrooms display paintings and drawings by John and Hilary Hoyland , Rosemary Wentges and other family members. Art Deco Murano chandeliers add a colourful touch of luxury to the high, airy ceilings.
The 2nd floor features a generous living room, decorated in shades of grey with comfortable contemporary furniture and colour notes added by paintings and prints, many again by John and Hilary Hoyland.
Adjoining the living room is a well equipped modern kitchen, with a large 5-ring gas stove, microwave, upright fridge and freezer, and twin bowl sink. A glass dining table with wood-framed, clear polycarbonate chairs complete the picture. Glazed doors open on to a glass floored loggia terrace over the courtyard below, ideal for al fresco breakfast or an evening aperitif. A living room balcony overlooks the the street below and the surrounding area.
The baroque dome of St. Lawrence's church is framed by the bullseye in the door to the roof, which opens onto expansive terraces , enclosed by a colonnaded pergola and featuring a Travertine edged pool. All around are views of the Three Cities, the Kalkara waterfront and Valetta skyline, with the Grand Harbour in between and the open sea beyond. Much of this Baroque panorama is floodlit at night, and firework displays, so much a part of the myriad parochial 'Festas', frequently illuminate the night skies over the islands. A canopy shades a dining area that seats up eight people for al fresco meals. The kitchen is easily accessible on the floor below.
The house has been refurbished using and local craftspeople and traditional materials. The house is environmentally friendly with a low carbon footprint. Water is heated by solar panels. The living room, kitchen and all bedrooms have locally controlled air-conditioning .
Due to its height and number of staircases No 11 Triq il Lbic is not suitable for the physically disabled or wheelchair users. For the able-bodied, the stairs provide good aerobic exercise, with the added reward of stunning views and the prospect of cool dip at the top!

Summary: Absolutely stunning place to stay. The care taken to make it feel homely with beautiful decor and everything you could possibly want for a perfect stay is second to none. We had three generations in our group and everybody was happy. Birgu is lovely for wandering and plenty of great places to eat and drink really close by. Communication from a Richard could not be better. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Summary: The property is beautiful, very comfortable, the kitchen is very well appointed although the cupboards are very high! After our 10 day stay our legs are toned and we are fitter than when we arrived due to all the stairs! The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were spotless. One issue we had was the gas bottle for the cooker was obviously almost empty the first time we used it, not great when you’re halfway through cooking a meal, hauling the new bottle up 2 flights of stairs was fun, the property manager Julian was easily contactable and would have come to change the bottle had we not been able to manage it. It is in a very central position, nearby restaurants are very good and the ferry terminal is a few minutes walk. Be aware, visitors can no longer have a parking permit, if you hire a car be careful where you park the map we were given at the Kunsill office was vague and we had a parking ticket on our first night. Once we worked out where to park it was fine although a little way from the house. It was a shame that the main square was being reconstructed and there were roadworks due to this, however by the look of the work being done it will be beautiful when it’s finished.

Summary: Richard’s home was so much more than we could have hoped for, the location amazing with cobblestone lanes, local restaurants, local shops and views over the whole of the 3 cities 😎 The home boasted and varied collection of antiques and collectibles, the pool perfect to come to and the beds super comfy. Would recommend to anyone wanting an authentic local experience 👏

Summary: A beautiful home in a beautiful neighbourhood. So picturesque, interesting and yet very well connected. I advise anyone thinking of going to Malta to stay here in this well appointed property.

Summary: This house is everything it purports to be and is a perfect base for exploring Birgu, Valletta and the surrounding towns. The photos give a very accurate description of the property, but it is hard to capture how lovely the neighborhood is. In the heart of the Crusader area, the buildings breathe history and, then at the end of the day you come back to a perfect blend of old and new. The owner and the property manager were outstanding in their contacts and we truly loved our stay. Since it was over 90 F every day we used the rooftop pool two and three times daily and it was BLISS! The well-equipped kitchen and speedy WiFi were not surprising considering the overall quality of the property. Thank you, Richard and Julian!

Summary: This property is exactly as shown and was spotless. We visited in April so slightly before the craziest tourist crush, but it was still a relief to escape the cruise ship madness of Valletta. The location may not be for everyone. Although it is a very short walk from the property to the gondola ferry, the ferries are not scheduled especially in the off season. Early and late trips to Valletta are a fairly long uber. We used Uber more than we expected to because the supposedly dependable buses eluded us. We walked back from the Hypogeum which was fine. We wished we had discovered two restaurants near the American University sooner - DATE (art cafe) and France M'en Bon. These were easy walks. We liked the Malta at War Museum and thought it was actually better than the Lascaris War Rooms, but the later is a must visit because of location. Strongly recommend the Archeology Museum before you visit the Hypogeum and strongly recommend the later. The great things about the apartment/house is how easy it was to book, how real the location is, and how incredibly responsive the owner Richard was to every inquiry. It made our first trip to Malta quite wonderful. Thank you. p.s. the beds are very firm which we love!

Summary: We thoroughly reccomend this property! Incredible location in Birgu, like travelling back in time but with all the mod cons you need. Metres from a charming little piazza, close to the waterfront restaurant's and to roam the back streets and alleys after dinner is a sublime experience. Thanks Richard, you made our stay a real memory. Peter

Summary: Great property, great location , great host . Not really much more to say than that .
