"A characterful townhouse near the Manoel Theatre that has remained in the Ellul family since the early 19th century, it preserves original wooden ceiling beams, colorful Maltese tiles and antique furniture; opened in 2014 as one of the island’s first boutique hotels, its nine individually designed suites include rooftop rooms with plunge pools and sunloungers for close-up views of the cathedral and Grand Harbor, and Risette occupies the ground floor." - Rick Jordan

"Why we love it: A 19th-century palazzo-turned-boutique-hotel that’s full of sophisticated details The Highlights: - Historic details like restored tiles, antique furniture, and traditional Maltese wooden balconies - Guestrooms with deep-soaking tubs or Jacuzzis - A central location just off Valletta’s main drag The Review: Formerly home to the Ellul family, this Victorian-period palazzo is now an exceedingly charming boutique stay that’s a member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World. Fourth-generation brothers Matthew and Andrew Ellul converted the property, which sits on a quiet but easily accessible side street, into nine luxurious guestrooms, each uniquely decorated with restored Maltese tiles, wrought iron accents, richly hued rugs, and antiques sourced from around the world. Rooms also feature original works by local artist Ritty Tacsum as well as either a private terrace or traditional Maltese wooden balcony. One suite even has a piano, while several others boast free-standing bathtubs or Jacuzzis. In keeping with the Casa Ellul’s family-owned ethos, service here is friendly and personalized, making guests feel as if they’re staying in a friend’s home."
