It's a romantic 16th century townhouse for two, in the old Collacchio quarter of Vittoriosa, an area once reserved for the Knights and nobility. In modern times the well-to-do moor their expensive 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. But the best thing about this historic holiday accommodation is that it gives you the opportunity to be at the centre of local life, a life that seems to have changed little throughout the years.
The loud conversations at the grocer's, the lowering of baskets from the balconies for deliveries, the passion behind the colourful village feasts, all populate the winding lanes of the city, just as they did centuries ago. 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 shelter that the house offers you when you return, tired and exhausted from the day's explorations.

The Indulgence Divine's separate kitchen is slick and well equipped, but it doesn’t mean you have to use it to cook on your holiday in Malta. Plenty of award winning local restaurants close to our accommodation will be happy to look after that side of things.
