Back in time in Valletta! - It may seem like a boring museum-palazzo beforehand... However, after the first steps you realize that you are entering a special house with very special residents. They give you a glimpse into their private environment over the centuries. The Guide is knowledgeable and very knowledgeable. Recommended to take an hour to choose the tour with the Guide. Have fun!!

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.

Great little find - Fabulous little gem in the centre of Valletta. You can look around the house on your own but I would highly recommend booking on the tour with a guide. So informative!

Delightful visit. - After a few minutes confusion about our booking we were delighted to be conducted around the palace by the Marquis himself - an erudite, charming, droll and deeply knowledgeable host. It is a beautiful building, with an interesting history, but much of the pleasure of the visit was the variety of stories that seemed to be attached to every article on display. There are many of them. Paintings, furniture and collectibles all had a history. We relished hearing a good number of them from the man himself. Many others remained untold, perhaps for another visit. What a privilege and treat!

Fascinating look behind the doors in a Valletta house. - The visit was fascinating. In particular the guide was perfectly knowledgable and wound together the stories of the inhabitants and family throughout the ages with all the treasury of artefacts and paintings in the house.
