Tour was conducted by family of the house which made it more inviting, informative and funny. A beautiful house which has accumulated plenty of sentimental and valuable artifacts and paintings. Best part was seeing the bomb shelter which was a water well hundreds of years ago. Cute parrot in the garden also. More

This wasn't on my original list of places to see but my wife wanted to go so I got dragged along! You get to see 12 of the 50 rooms in the palace which is still lived by the family today. The rooms are stuffed full with artefacts and antiques but the thing that bought it all alive for me... More

I have been to Malta half a dozen times but not made it to Casa Rocca Piccola before yesterday, which I'm glad we did. We got the tour from Marquis de Piro himself and it was delightful if a bit arbitrary. As we walked through the various rooms he had more stories to tell than there were time which also... More

The tour we were on was fantastic. The family still own and live in the Casa. One male family member took us around and gave such a fantastic tour of his life and his families and also told us about of some of their collections. There is also a bomb shelter (which is ok). More
