Some rooms are best introduced by those who know their stories.

We begin with one of Count Alfred Manduca’s favourite rooms in the house: the Sala del Conte.

In the first of a series of conversations, he shares the memories, details and family history held within its walls, offering a more personal glimpse into Domus Zamittello and the generations who have shaped it.

Moul Hajjar, our General Manager and something of a Valletta connoisseur, knows the city inside out, and this is the place he would send you first.

Only a 3-minute walk from Domus Zamittello, St John’s Co-Cathedral is one of Valletta’s great treasures, home to extraordinary Baroque detail, centuries of history and works by Caravaggio.

The cathedral also has a personal connection to the Manduca family. The crypt of Sir Niccolò Giuseppi Zammit can be found within, identified by the family coat of arms showing two hands clasped together.

Over the coming weeks, Moul will be sharing more of the places he loves most around the city.

And if you’re staying with us, simply ask our concierge where to go next.

Also known as the Strada Reale Suite, this is one of Domus Zamittello’s most distinctive rooms.

Its low, original vaulted ceiling gives the suite an intimate sense of character, while a freestanding bath, spacious living room and separate bedroom make it feel more like a private apartment within the house.

Family photographs and collected details add another layer of history to a room that is truly one of a kind.

On 7 April 1942, a German air raid struck Republic Street. The building across the street was destroyed. This one survived. The bombing raid that struck Republic Street on 7 April 1942 targeted the Royal Opera House, thirty metres from this door. The explosion destroyed one of southern Europe’s finest theatres. It also severely damaged the upper floors of this palazzo, the building that would not become a hotel for another seventy-six years.

The upper floors fell into disrepair. The ground level was let as commercial units. For decades, the building that had been the home of Italian Knights in 1623 and the Azopardi family in later centuries stood as storefronts rather than a residence.

In 2013, Count Alfred Manduca, a direct descendant, and the heir to a building that had outlasted four centuries of Valletta’s history, made the decision to restore it.

The ruins of the Royal Opera House are still there. Still visible from the balcony across the street, as they have been since that April morning.

We are honoured to retain our MICHELIN Key for 2026.

For us, this recognition is especially meaningful because it reflects not only the character of Domus Zamittello, but the care that goes into every stay.

Our aim has always been to preserve the spirit of a historic family home while offering the highest standards of service, with warmth, discretion and genuine attention to detail.

We are deeply grateful to our team for the dedication they bring to the house every day, and to our guests for continuing to place their trust in us.

To be recognised by the MICHELIN Guide (official) once again is a proud moment for everyone who is part of Domus Zamittello.

Above the rooftops of Valletta, the terrace offers a setting for intimate receptions and private gatherings.

As evening falls, the tables are set, the lanterns are lit, and the city begins to glow around you.

Very little else is needed.

Meet Moul, the heart behind the Domus Zamittello experience.

As General Manager, Moul believes that true hospitality is about creating genuine connections. Whether he’s sharing the stories behind our historic home, recommending hidden corners of Malta, or helping guests discover the island beyond the guidebooks, he takes pride in making every stay feel personal.

Ask him for a recommendation, and he’ll almost always point you towards St. John’s Co-Cathedral in Valletta, a place whose history, artistry and atmosphere never fail to impress.

For Moul, it’s the conversations, the shared moments, and seeing guests leave with unforgettable memories that make every day worthwhile.

We couldn’t think of a better person to welcome you to Domus Zamittello.

At the heart of Domus Zamittello, the courtyard was always intended to be enjoyed open to the sky.

Its fully retractable skylight allows us to bring back that al fresco character, while naturally ventilating the space and helping to balance warm and cool air throughout the day.

A contemporary intervention that allows one of the Domus’ oldest spaces to be enjoyed as it was meant to be.

Most of what happens in this hotel happens before you wake up.

Padam and Clarence begin their day early. By the time the first guests come down to breakfast, the corridors are already done. By check-out, the suites are prepared for arrival. The rhythm of the house is carried by people who are, by design, invisible when they are working.

We take the preparation of each room seriously. The quality of the linen. The exact placement of things. The small choices that determine whether a room feels right the moment you return to it, without you being able to say why. These details do not maintain themselves. They are the result of people who do the same things, correctly, every single day.
