The breathtaking view over the harbour. No other building in the area features such! The terrace or the balcony are the perfect spots for dining al fresco watching the boats go by.

A beautifully reconstructed ancient tower, Torre Dei Cavalieri, once the property of the Maltese Knights (hence the name) is located in the heart of Birgu (named Vittoriosa after the victory over the Turks in 1565) and overlooks the most elegant harbour in Malta – the Grand Harbour Marina – with stunning views over the waterfront. Adjacent to the oldest and most historical buildings (St. Lawrence – the Knights’ original Cathedral; The Inquisitors’ Palace, the Auberges of Provence, Auvergne, Italy, England, etc.), the tower is made of the typical honey-coloured sandstone (globigerina) and comprises two wings, one sleeping 6 and the other 4/5.
The larger wing has a very spacious kitchen (and separate wc) with those wonderful sea views. The lift takes you to the three bedrooms: the main double bedroom (queen size bed) has its own bathroom (tub), the other two twinbedded rooms share a shower & wc. The lift then takes you to the very ample and stunning drawing-room with terrace and picture window over St.Lawrence’s church and waterfront.
The smaller wing has its kitchen on the ground floor, with steps leading up to the very tastefully decorated dining/living area (sofa bed) with two twin-bedded rooms and bathroom with tub and bidet. This wing also has its own smaller terrace overlooking the harbour.
Both wings have washing machines, air conditioning and well-equipped kitchens.
Torre Dei Cavalieri is one of the most prestigious locations of the whole island, right next door to the Casino di Venezia, with its excellent restaurant. There are several wine-bars and a water-taxi service which operates all day including evenings to Valletta. The area is the oldest of Malta, dating back to before 1565 (when Sultan Soleiman the Great and his admiral Dragut attempted in vain to invade) and was defended by the forts of St. Angelo – thereafter the site of the British Royal Navy for many years and now that of the Order of St. John and St. Elmo.
Among places of interest to visit in Valletta are the co-Cathedral (with the only signed painting by Caravaggio) and the Knights’ Palace, with a very fine collection of firearms and Gobelin tapestries, gifts of the Grand Masters. The old ”Silent City” of Mdina is a must, with its wonderful cathedral and unforgettable architecture. There are many restaurants and bars well worth stopping at, in particular the Xara Palace (“Relais des Chateaux”) which has a very good outside “trattoria”.
We look forward to your booking!
TESTIMONIALS ==
"This is a lovely, well priced house in an excellent location. There was no street noise. Communication with the owner prior was great & the caretaker he has looking after the place insisted we contacted them if we needed anything & the place was immaculately clean. It's a beautiful, spacious old building & every bedroom (we had both places for 10 people) was nice & a good size, there was 3 bathrooms & a further toilet. the living area is on the top floor, so didn't make any noise for the bedrooms. The view is SPECTACULAR - the photos don't do it justice. As we were there in winter so we didn't use the terrace much but in summer this would be amazing. The area is the lovely, 2 mins walk from the house is a prommenade with 6-7 restaurants all with outdoor seating right on the Grand Canal, we went to 'Two and a half Lemon' on new years eve which was well priced & good fun. We went for 5 days & didn't do too much apart from relaxing, a harbour cruise in a water taxi which leaves from just outside the house, a boat trip to Valetta (5 mins by water taxi) & wandered Vittoriosa. A casino is nearby, but we didn't go in. We had a great time at TORRE DEI CAVALIERI & would higly recommend it for a group or family holiday." (Bronwyn A., UK)
"Excellente adresse. Demeure de charme. Accueil très sympathique. Tarifs intéressants." (Nicolas D., France)
"We spent a week with friends in April and had a wonderful experience. We had no hot water and thought it went with the age of the building, but called the caretaker and got immediate response and lots of hot water. The harbor location was perfect, near to bus, restaurants, water taxi, and important sight seeing. And so peaceful compared to the crowds in Valletta. It was very interesting staying in such an historical building." (DEK, USA)
"Hello, Sweden on line. I just want to say thank you, we had a lovely holiday in Vittoriosa, Mr Vince and his wife were so nice and the place was well cleaned! And what a lovely area, what a marvellous building to live in! We had a rentcar and saw most of the island, love to come back!!" (Mats and family, Sweden).
"This house is wonderful and offers plenty of things inside and outside; there is parking, a breathtaking view from the terrace and all is very proper and comfortable. It is very elegant and perfect for a large family like ours. Many stores and restaurants are close to the property. An excellent rental for a very good price too!
Wishes from Spain, Alfonso" (Alfonso D., Spain)
"The 8 of us stayed at this great house in March and totally loved it! It is roomy and clean, absolutely well stocked and we were welcomed by the owners like kings. I think you would find no similar acommodation in Malta: the view is superb and so is the location. Highly recommended." (Petra W., Germany)
"We liked this house very much, it was probably one of our best rentals ever and we spent a great vacation there. Everything we needed was provided and the place was immaculate, with the caretakers catering for everything we needed. We recommend the little restaurants in the backstreets, the one in the square was terrific! A key location for Valletta and other places nearby. We are already organizing a second trip with our friends in October." (Miriam C., Italy)
"We are from France and spent 10 days here. The property was clean and well kept, very elegant, much better than in the photos and we got everything we expected, exactly like it says in the advert, or more. The view over the harbour is fantastic. Everything was near, shops of all types and great little restaurants. This place is totally different from the others, unique. We recommend it and will surely come back." (Emile D., France)
"Hallo - We stayed 1 week at this gorgeous house and were totally happy with it. The caretakers are a nice couple who helped us in many ways, the house was very clean and comfortable and got everything we needed for a great stay. The location is perfect even if you don't have a car and the view from the windows and the terraces is terrific! All the previous contacts with the owner were excellent too and we had no problem all throughout the booking stage and the actual stay. We 100% recommend this place, which is unique and a great value for your money" (Paul M., Germany)
"We found this property extremely interesting. The owner had certainly tried to provide everything necessary. It was not luxurious by my standards but it was worth the money that we paid. The experience was terrific,the location perfect and the views fantastic. This is after all a medieaval tower and the ambience was perfect. When we did need to contact the caretaker over a problem with the water it was addressed immediately. The linen and towels were clean and plentiful. We had a great holiday." (Liz E., UK)
"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful...without words. The tower is on Birgu'swaterfront so at night there is a wonderful seesight. Caretakers are sweetble. Of course I'll come again: it's not a tower... it is a real castle..." (Salvatore t., Italy)
"This house is really nice , the point of view, the situation of the house, the dimensions, the quality , everithing is great and I have already spoken about this house to my friend" (Frédéric P., France)
