About this villa rental

Formally a medieval hunting lodge, 'Ta Torri' is now a private villa, lovingly restored to provide simple accommodation surrounded by beautiful gardens.

The colonnaded path down the garden is one of only three remaining on the island and is just one of the features that makes Ta Torri truly unique. Surrounded by high walls, the villa affords complete privacy for sunbathing, swimming and outdoor dining.

The villa is situated on the outskirts of Mqabba, a quiet and beautiful Maltese village. It remains almost entirely free from tourists, unscarred from modern development, providing a ‘real’ Maltese experience.

Had a fantastic week at Ta Torri! It is a lovely house in beautiful surroundings, the house is very comfortable and the gardens and pool are peaceful and a wonderful place to spend time. Mqabba is a lovely little town and we definitely recommend eating at Bottegin del Teatro, the food was delicious and the owner was very welcoming. Would happily recommend staying at Ta Torri!

The photos really don’t do it justice, we absolutely loved staying at Ta Torri. We visited during a very hot spell and were grateful for air conditioned bedrooms! There’s so much space, great when travelling with extended family. Thank you Richard, we will be back I’m sure!

Ta Torri Spero is a beautiful place to spend a Maltese vacation! There were 8 of us adults for 3 weeks, each with our own room; 3 couples in the main house and 1 in the tower apartment. This house is very unique and we loved it! We all would meet at the outside dining table to plan our days trips and eat our meals. We barely used the indoor living room although it was large and comfortable, we found the outdoor seating space worked the best for us. There were no issues with having the kitchen detached from the main house, above it is a great viewpoint! The rooms were comfortable and house had everything we needed. The gardens were just breathtaking, it was such a beautiful view to walk into everyday, so spacious and was very private. The pool was perfect for 8 of us, we utilized it almost everyday. It’s elevated from ground level and over 5 feet deep across the entire pool, so we put our pool floats to use and relaxed on the patio loungers. The Mqabba village was so welcoming. We went to 3 local bars, and there were 3 grocery stores that you could get the basic groceries and supplies at. The local butcher was a great place also. We did have minor issues with the kitchen air conditioning not working for a few days and a small shower door leak that was fixed quickly by Robert, the caretaker. The tower apartment had a few bugs that were annoying within the first week , nothing we couldn’t handle ourselves. I would absolutely stay here again, thank you for a wonderful holiday!

Ta Torri is an amazing, spacious, comfortable (and slightly quirky!) villa with fabulous walled gardens containing a pool and an array of plants including olives and limes. Conveniently located for the airport and within easy reach of attractions such as Valetta and Mdina, but also a great place just to laze around soaking up the sun, swimming in the pool and having long, late evening meals at the huge stone table in the courtyard. The property is prepared to a high standard and the owners are great to deal with. Highly recommended!

Seven of us stayed at Ta Torri in the first week of May. The photographs on the website accurately convey the historic charm of the villa and tower room, and the beauty of the courtyard and garden. Updates to the kitchen and bathrooms provided all the comforts we needed. The layout of the villa is a bit idiosyncratic, but groups of family or friends should not have any issues. Given the time of year, the pool temperature was a little cool so there were only some brief dips. But it’s a scenic place for lounging. We chose to manage without a car. Walking, buses, and the reasonably-priced Uber allowed us to get to all the places of interest we wanted (Valletta, Mdina, Birgu, Dingli Cliffs, etc). We loved the village and were happy to be in a quiet spot where we appeared to be the only tourists. Greengrocers and the Maypole convenience store were only minutes away. All the people we interacted with were friendly and welcoming. When we waited at the wrong bus stop, locals stopped and offered advice. English plus our few words of Maltese took us wherever we needed to go. We hope to be back.

We had a great time staying here at this unique property. We spent all of our waking hours there enjoying the garden. It is a lovely place to relax and enjoy the Maltese weather. We enjoyed the pool and the boules but our favourite place was the outdoor sitting area. The local village has everything you need and its not far to get to the attractions. A very special property and I would highly recommend.

Could be one of the nicest places to stay ... Maybe we were unlucky, but one fact is clear: the property is situated next to the airport. all starting planes start from the neighborhood. But this is not the main problem as the noise is over once the planes are off. Very embarassing is a constant noise from 5.a.m. to 20 p.m. 7/7 days - even on sundays. Sounds like a ground ram and seems to come from a stone pitch. You cannot sleep with this in the morning. Only in the tower appartment it is less noisy, as this appartment is on the groundfloor behind walls and the tower is in between. We were very stressed because of this noise issue. Beside this the landlord and the facilitiy technician are giving great support at any time.

This is an extraordinary place of great historic interest, set in a large and beautiful garden. We felt very lucky to be there. Ta Torri’s honey-coloured stone rooms sprawl over two wings and are connected to an 18th century tower wing by an enormous walled garden. The pool is ingeniously framed in limestone and fits perfectly into the formal surroundings. When we were there hibiscus, bougainvillea and plumbago were in full flower, and there are plenty of individual seating areas arranged amongst the blossoms and trees. It’s perfect either for a large group to get together, or to split up and find shady corners away from each other! We had no contact with local housekeeping or management as there was no need, but I imagine they are extremely efficient as everything was clean and in very good repair. One useful touch is a constant supply of chilled water from a kitchen water dispenser, eliminating the need to stagger back from the supermarket with endless heavy 6-packs. Parking was easy, bang outside the house in a broad, quiet street. Ta Torri is very well placed for getting quickly either to Valletta or to the nearby coastal inlets at Zurrieq and Ghar Lapsi. Communications with owner Richard Jackson were super-swift and very helpful, Overall we had a gloriously happy and luxurious time in a lovely place, and have in fact made a booking for next year to cheer us up as we were leaving.
