Set within one of Birgu’s oldest buildings dating from the early 1500s, when the humble town became the first seat of the Order of St. John in Malta, Locanda La Gelsomina is the reflection of a family’s journey.

Tucked away in the heart of the ancient hamlet of Birgu, Locanda La Gelsomina features 4 well-appointed suites that open a window into a unique retail and luxury hospitality concept where East and West are harmoniously balanced. This intimate locale has been sensitively restored to its former glory, and traditional Maltese architectural features are highlighted amidst exotic antiquities that have been handpicked during travels and over time. 

All suites include independently-controlled air-conditioning and heating, tea-making facilities, an electronic safe, natural toiletries, satellite T.V. and free Wifi internet access. Lift access is available to all floors and all suites are non-smoking. We love to pamper our guests with yoga sessions and personalised wellness massages.
