Ingresso para o palácio e museu Casa Rocca Piccola

Very interesting tour filled with history passed through generations. Met the current resident in a surprise appearance and Kiku III in the courtyard. Nice gentleman. Beautiful palace and well preserved.

The palace was not as grand as I expected. The guide did give us some interesting history. The most interesting was the bomb shelter below the palace. It was a quick tour. This is not a must see; but I don’t regret visiting it

Excellent - very knowledgeable guide who was never rushed,

100% recommend visiting this historic home. One of the only ones left in the city. It retains its lived in vibe which made it feel more like your visiting a residence rather than a museum. If you’re lucky, you may even get a private tour from the owner!

Awesome experience. A hidden gem in the heart of Valletta with a very interesting guided tour that I recommend

Me and my girlfriend came to Malta to visit my daughter who is living on the island. We divided our trip to stay in the center in Saint Jullians halfway, then we went to Mellieha and in the end to Marsaxlokk. On one of our tours in Valletta we visited the Casa Rocca Piccola. The 16th-century palace is home to the noble Maltese family of Piro. We entered one of the daily guided visits that take place from 10:00 to 17:00. The palace includes a local accommodation with 5 bedrooms, a bunker from the second war, a café the Efervencense and the restaurant La Giara Restaurant. It was built in 1580, after the Knights of St. John defeated the Great Siege and the Turkish invasion in 1565. In the late 18th century, changes were made to divide the house into two smaller ones. Other changes were made in 1918 and, before World War II, an anti-aircraft shelter was added, the second anti-aircraft shelter being excavated in Malta. Furnished with collections of furniture, grocery, paintings and works of art from Malta. The archives of Piro's family are kept in the Archive Room of the Casa Rocca Piccola, with records of family and state business from the late 16th century to the present day. These are commercial contracts, marriage contracts, accounts, wills and judicial proceedings. The files were usedfor research projects at the University of Malta and the University of Oxford. Casa Rocca Piccola houses the largest private collection of ancient costumes in Malta. There are formal and informal costumes from the 18th to the 20th centuries.[13] Malta has a long tradition in the manufacture of rent. Casa Rocca Piccola houses the largest private collection of Maltese income. The rent was used in different ways for different occasions, both religious and secular. Casa Rocca Piccola founded and hosted the HSBC Malta Annual Rental Competition.[14] The Casa Rocca Piccola has tenants since the 16th century and now hosts the boutique hotel pousada. It was very worth the visit, I recommend...

Casa Rocca Piccola is slightly hidden away and off the main tourist track in Valletta, but it is not to be missed. We took the guided tour and Anna was a superb host. The place is loaded with personality - still owned by the same family having been owned by them for several hundred years. The air raid shelters, dug beneath the cellars for local people to use, are particularly memorable.

An interesting tour that provides insight into a manor house from the 16th century.

Lovely place, Interesting guiding and delicious coffee. I found some polish accents which made this visit even more enjoyable. I recommend

Wonderful, very interesting, good guide. Lovely garden
