The details

Just a short water-taxi ride from the capital, Valletta, Indulgence Divine is the most decadent introduction to Malta imaginable. A 16th-century townhouse perfect for two, it’s the place for a truly special romantic break – seductive, sensual and surrounded by intriguing history.

Indulgence Divine gives you the boutique hotel feel coupled with the privacy and freedom of going self-contained. Situated just behind the Inquisitor’s Palace in the Collachio area of Vittoriosa, the house was once a merchant’s home, even incorporating a private chapel, which has now been repurposed as the luxurious bedroom. Featuring stone walls and arches, an Art Nouveau bed and Hieronymus Bosch works on the overhead canopy, it’s full of talking points.

A gorgeous en suite bathroom with double shower continues the indulgent theme, with more elegant design touches. Original artworks hang on the walls of the mezzanine-level living space, just up the spiral staircase. A fully equipped kitchen has all you need to cook in style, if you take a night off from discovering the numerous local restaurants – many boast great views as well as delicious food, including those lining the nearby marina, just ten minutes’ walk away.

The house has more imaginative spaces for you, in the form of the intimate dining room lit by a majestic turquoise Murano chandelier, and an equally appealing roof terrace for al fresco breakfasts, late-evening drinks and special moments to remember.

Brimming with intensity and rich colour, Indulgence Divine is just as enchanting as the island itself. Formerly (and sometimes still) known as Birgu, Vittoriosa is a grown-up destination with no shortage of cafés and wine bars, a grand harbour and ancient old town. October sees the town lit by candles during the atmospheric BirguFest, while late April heralds the arrival of Malta’s International Fireworks Festival.

The town’s proximity to Valletta offers you the chance to explore this beautiful waterfront capital with ease. World-class arts and music festivals are a regular occurrence, and history is everywhere – architecture lovers will find much to appreciate in Valletta’s churches, palaces and vibrant piazzas.

Multiple influences shape Maltese cuisine as a result of the island’s eventful history, and when you’re done dining, there are some beautiful gardens and a maze of little streets to explore, before returning by bus or boat to Indulgence Divine – a place that truly lives up to its name.

After two postponed bookings due to Covid we were looking forward to visiting Malta and ID. Communication with Aldo was great throughout - helpful and informative. The accommodation is unique and we enjoyed being there. The roof terrace is a bonus for accommodation in the old quarter. The house - on four floors - was clean, well equipped and spacious for two people. Birgu is a great location, close to local bus stops and the 10 minute ferry hop to Valetta for day visits. Plenty of interesting places to visit on the door step (the Inquisitor's Palace and Fort St Angelo) as well as a good assortment of restaurants. Recommended.

This was our second stay at ID which speaks for itself! The house is comfortable and stylishly furnished, with everything you could need and the wonderful host, Aldo, is readily available to answer any questions. The location is perfect too - in a beautiful, historic part of Malta very convenient for, but not in, the capital Valletta. Thoroughly recommend.
