Reviews of The Knight - Experiential Heritage Home at Birgu Square

Absolutely fantastic traditional Maltese house in the centre of Birgu. Davide and his Mum are great hosts who have thought of lots of little touches to make you feel very welcome. The house is beautiful with two big terraces overlooking the square and down to the harbour and Valletta. It has modern and very necessary AC and WiFi. Birgu is a fabulous location if you want to be close to but out of the bright lights of Valletta / Sliema etc. Just a €3, 5 minute water taxi ride over. Apart from the church bells it has a nice sociable hum without being loud.

Nothing significant. The bathrooms are a little small and water pressure is a bit low but otherwise it is a lovely property to base yourself in.

We really liked the location — it’s excellent! The place itself is great, and the terrace is huge and very pleasant. We’re happy with everything, but most of all, we truly appreciated their kindness and hospitality. Highly recommended!

Davide was attentive

Wifi

3 bathrooms Welcome pack Helpfulness of owner

Tricky steps to roof patio

The owner was very helpful, and the place was safe. We loved sitting in the big terrace with a beautiful view on the old city. The house is in the square of the city with many restaurants near it. I definitely recommend this house.

Nothing.

The day before we arrived the hosts (Barbara and Davide) created a WhatsApp group and added me to it and gave us directions to the house and we could then let them know when we had landed etc. We got a short taxi from the airport to the house where Davide was waiting for us, he spend a half hour going through the house with us and making sure we was happy with everything in the house. The house was absolutely beautiful and immaculately clean, there was aircon in the bedrooms and living room and a large fan in the kitchen, the kitchen had all the condiments required for cooking and accessories, there was even fresh bread, eggs, milk, tea, coffee and wine waiting for us. About 15 metres from the house was Terrys convenance store, this was a small shop however it had a little of everything needed for a weeks stay for a family of 4, Terrys was open in the morning and then closed for the afternoon but open again for the evening. Also in the square by the house was a pastry shop for lunches and a few restaurants with very good food, 50 metres down the road to the waterfront you could get the small boats to Valletta for 2 euro per person. Also at the water front there was many more restaurants in both directions. We did not have a hire car so I used the taxi app bolt, I would get the cars to pick us up at the round about 50 metres from the house as it was easy for them to turn around, Bolt was great and cheap. Our most expensive Bolt was 17 euros which was to the waterpark half way across the island. Rinella bay was the closest Sandy beach, the beach itself was quite small however it was lovely to swim there as its quite shallow and you are facing Valletta while you swim which was really cool, this was only 5 Euros in a Bolt to get too. St Tomas Bay was great for swimming and had two sandy beaches, this also had all the water sport gear like jet skis and kayaks, we got some 2 person kayaks and went to the arch where we then went snorkelling.

There is a lockbox on the front door, and it's very easy to get the key. The house is very clean, and have everything we needed. There is a great view of the terrace. The place is cozy. The boats to Valletta are just 2 minutes walk distance.

Everything was perfect, and I think that is impossible to find anything wrong with this place.

Interesting home. Great facilities, lovely hospitable hosts leaving coffee, tea, milk, jam, bread, cake and wine for our arrival. Very comfortable. Good a/c. And fantastic location. Great gelato around the corner. Would definitely recommend.

En-suite showers would benefit from higher pressure but didn’t detract from overall experience of the home.

Wonderful historic Maltese stone home with great architecture, plenty of space for the 5 of us. Living room can easily be turned into a third bedroom. The multiple rooftops were really cool. We appreciated the snacks that the owners left for us.

Neighborhood was in the midst of being restored, vacant building across from us and the town square was under construction. When restorations are complete it’ll be a “10!”

location was perfect . central but not to busy or noisy easy to get to valletta on nearby small boat and a great old character property

Location in Birgu was brilliant - in the midst of things without being busy. Although may get busier in summer months. Roughly 10 min walk to marina and ferry to Valetta. Excellent bus service to get you around. The home was beautiful, just what you would imagine a Maltese town house to be. Bedrooms were big, plenty of space and storage. Loved all the church bells early in the morning. Owners added lots of little extras that were useful, eg milk and water in the fridge, cakes and wine etc. especially as we arrived quite late in the evening. They thought of everything we may have needed, toiletries etc. The roof terrace was amazing, however - need to mention accessibility with lots of steps. Nearby shops and restaurants were great.

We would have to be very picky to find fault with the Property. Only thing was construction work was being done in the square. Would love to go back after this completed.

One of the most beautiful accomodations we have ever stayed in. Amazing location - super easy access to Valletta via water taxi or ferry.

Water pressure in 3rd floor is quite low. There was a construction site on the plaza, but not too noisy.

Authentic and charming house with all the amenities that you could need. Place was beautiful and excellent host Davide made us feel very welcomed and taken care of ⭐️ Good location

Very friendly hosts (Barbara and her son Davide) We arrived early and were able to access the house and leave our suitcases until the cleaning was finished. The roof terrasse was a big plus. Milk, coffee, water etc. was very kindly provided for us.

There is an ongoing road work right outside the house and the workers start quite early. This is only a minor point though.

The hause is beautiful and spacious. Location is amazing - very picturesque and also close to ferry that goes to Valletta. View from the terrace was also beautiful.

Authentic Maltese town house; comfortable; spacious; well equipped; well located; tastefully furnished and decorated; homely

Final stone spiral staircase to roof terrace v narrow: rather challenging when trying to take food/drinks up to the terrace, esp as no handrail

Great location!

Steep steps, but it is part of the charm of the building

Everything. The house is in a perfect location with a bus stop and restaurants very close by. Beautiful house, so clean and very comfortable. Davide, the host was immense - great directions to the property and left us a lovely welcome pack (thank you!). Could not recommend more highly - perfect for a family. We would come back tomorrow.

Nothing!

Everything: the location, the facilities (the place was truly equipped with anything we could have needed), the cleanliness, the design and the details, the beautiful terrace and spacious rooms, the helpful and generous host, the small surprises the host offered

Everything was perfect

The host, Davide was wonderful. On arrival the beautiful property was prepared for us with everything we would need for breakfast. The house is situated just off the main square in Birgu and I felt like I had travelled back in time. The views from the 2 terraces was breathtaking. Little shops are dotted around the stunning village. Our stay in this beautiful house was something we will never forget. Thank you so much .

There was nothing to dislike at all. It was truly unforgettable.

Amazing 3 floor apartments with bay view terrace! Very spacious, clean, comfortable and stylish. Like palaco. In the heart of Birgu. Everything is thought out to be comfortable and made with love. The owner is lovely hospitable and caring. There was left everything for breakfast, bottle of wine, sweets, biscuits, couple of bottles of drinking water. The owner was available at any time, ordered a taxi for us. I highly recommend it! Exceed the expectations!

Everything was absolutely fantastic.House is like a castle- very beautiful. All clean, a lot of over things (like ear-picks, shower-gels etc.) was there. For sure we can only reccomend this place.

Superb location and the house has so much charm! Perfect place to feel like local, mingle with locals! Had most incredible experience on our stay as got to see how Maltese celebrate easter!
