Description from owner

Description

Indulgence Divine is not a hotel. It's a romantic 16th century town house for two, in the old Collacchio quarter of Vittoriosa, an area once reserved for the Knights. In modern times the well-to-do still moor their boats in the Café-rich marina, a short 5 minutes walk from the house. Indulgence Divine has been restored with an injection of colour and sensuous design to make it an exciting base from which to explore the rich history of the archipelago.

This historic 16th century holiday accommodation gives you the opportunity to be at the centre of local life, a life that seems to have changed little throughout the years. The stone walls of the house speak of its history - Centuries-old marine ex-votos still survive, carved on the wall of what was once the house chapel by past homeowners to keep them safe at sea. It's the same welcoming protection the house offers you when back, tired and exhausted from the day's wanderings.

Response from the owner Hi Colin, Thank you for choosing Indulgence Divine and for such a lovely review. Birgu is rather underrated when compared to other parts of Malta. Its rich history is a puller as is the architecture, the sea which surrounds it (it's a peninsula) and its proximity to Valletta thanks to a 10 minute ferry journey. No wonder you have been a repeat visitor to Birgu. We look forward to see you again very soon. Best regards, Aldo IndulgenceDivine.com
