    Lovely place, Interesting guiding and delicious coffee. I found some polish accents which made this visit even more enjoyable. I recommend

    Beautiful way to spend a couple of hours

    Beautiful house giving a unique look into the life of a Maltese noble family. Guided tour takes approximately 45/50 minutes and is super informative and very well presented. Self guided audio tours were also available. Lovely cafe on site and you can sip your coffee in the gorgeous courtyard with Kiku the 3rd, the family macaw.

    Beautiful Family Palace

    Really lovely place and very interesting with the World War II Bunker. Beautiful garden area and great cafe. Fully guided but he did rush it so you felt as though it was over very quickly.

    Small but beautiful palace.

    A small beautiful home. Full of character. Guide made it interesting and enjoyable. Worthwhile visit.

    It would have been nice...

    It would have been nice to have been given more information about the ancestors and their lives in Valletta and Malta more widely.

    Great place to look

    Beautiful decor and amazing collection of items. Would highly recommend to escape the heat for a few hours. My sister was especially enamoured with the parrot.

    Good experience

    Really interesting house. Great audio which gave perfect explanations of each room. Seeing the underground cellars were amazing and interesting. A great insight into the family and how they lived.

    Amazing place that is so much bigger inside than it looks from the outside. Tour guide was great - kept us moving from room to room with the history of the house and interesting bits of information. Internal garden just beautiful. Didn’t realise there were tunnels below, we had just seen some old tunnels but these were spacious in comparison also there was a friendly parrot and turtles in the garden

    Great palace tour which included bomb shelter and underground tunnels.

    Darla_R, May 2023
    This was a wonderful tour of a palace in Malta. Our guide was knowledgeable and interesting, and the owners of the palace walked through during our tour. The most interesting part was the bomb shelter and the underground tunnels. We highly recommend this tour.

    Something outside of the standard Tours

    garrick_r, May 2022
    A fascinating old house in the middle of the city. The tour guide has a lot to work with given the history of the home. If you’ve taken the major tours of Valletta. This would be a good addition to your itinerary.

    Uno spettacolo

    rossella_a, Jan 2025
    Abitazione privata spettacolare. Le varie stanze sono una meraviglia. Ti incanti già guardando la prima e poi uno spettacolo dietro l'altro. Se sei fortunato puoi incontrare l'ultimo proprietario che ti accoglie nella sua casa. Poi vai in giardino e scendi nel rifugio antiaereo e torni indietro nel tempo

    Lebendiges Ambiente

    Rolf_S, May 2023
    Sauberkeit. Guter Pflegezustand. Garten, Bunker, Essraum Schlafraum - umfaengliches Angebot. Bilder aus verschiedenen Generationen, gestickte Stammbaeume zeigen die Exponiertheit dieser Adelsfamilie auf.

    Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback, das geschätzt wird.

    Combinatie met heden en nu

    Sylvana_g, Oct 2022
    Moment in de inkomst hal is al een wauw effect. De huidige eigenaar tegen gekomen met Kiku en even een gezellig babbeltje geslagen. Leuk om de combinatie te zien van vroeger en nu. De schuilkelders zijn ook de moeite.
