Holiday Home in the Three Cities, Malta

Holiday Home in the Three Cities, Malta

Stay inside Malta’s historic Three Cities. Magdalena is a restored 400-year-old holiday home in Bormla (Cospicua) — the whole house to yourselves, the Grand Harbour on your doorstep, and Valletta a ten-minute ferry ride across the water.

The Three Cities — Malta’s quiet side

The Three Cities — Birgu (Vittoriosa), Senglea (Isla) and Bormla (Cospicua) — are the oldest harbour towns in Malta, fortified by the Knights of St John long before Valletta existed. Most visitors cross by ferry for an afternoon and never stay the night. Choosing a holiday home here means waking up to working boatyards, baroque churches and harbour light, with the crowds an easy ferry ride away. Magdalena sits at 48 Triq Il-Gendus in Bormla, within the 17th-century Cottonera Lines, a few minutes’ walk from the Cospicua waterfront.

A restored Maltese townhouse, yours alone

Magdalena is a complete self-catering home, not a room in a block: a private entrance, a full kitchen, a comfortable living area, a king-size bed with quality linen, and air conditioning throughout. Original encaustic tile floors, exposed limestone walls and restored timber beams give it the character only a genuinely old house has — with the comforts you actually want on holiday. Self check-in with your own door code means you arrive on your schedule.
