I cannot recommend the guided tour highly enough, we had a guide named David who was brilliant, he was clearly passionate not only about the history of the building and family, but also of Malta itself. He answered many questions the group asked him perfectly, he was truly a fountain of knowledge. The house is full of historic treasures such as shoes from four popes. This Museum I recommend very highly indeed to anyone interested in the history of Malta, the Knights of St John are also very much a part of this tour, so if they interest you this tour is for you.

We visited on a very hot afternoon, and the palazzo gave us some light relief from the heat. The internal courtyard was very peaceful and cool. We had a guided tour which was quite interesting to put the house into its historical context. The decor is interesting, if not to our taste, and the house could probably do with some restoration. However, it was fascinating to see the tunnels and caves under the place which kept people safe during the war.

It was such a privilege to visit Palazzo Rocca Piccola. We found it by accident and it was the highlight of our visit to Valletta. It's a beautiful family home, full of historic and aesthetic interest. The Marquis and Marchesa de Piro were present when we visited and were so charming and friendly. We would highly recommend it.

We chanced across Casa Rocca Piccola while wandering the streets of Valetta and took a punt on having a look. First impressions were of a beautiful house with incredible art and a very definite sense of history about it. The WW2 bunker was fascinating in and of itself buried under the garden in the house (the entrance next to the beautiful parrot that lives in the garden). The tour through the house itself is just gorgeous. Every room a fascinating display of art, photos and documents and memories that are clearly treasured by the owner (Nicholas and his family). Beautiful treasures on display! But unlike a traditional museum, this house is living history! Still lived in, loved and maintained! Frankly the entire place was stunning! But the highlight for me was meeting Nicholas and his daughter, and hearing from him a great many stories about the house and its occupants. Hearing firsthand, from him the stories behind photographs and paintings in the place was the absolute best part of the experience for me, and all from a chance encounter in the house! He is a wonderful gentleman with incredible stories and it was a genuine privilege to meet him and talk to him! Thank you Nicholas for making it a truly special experience for me!

The site includes a beautiful garden space where you can sit and enjoy a moment of peace, fascinating bomb shelters that are 100 feet underground and the beautiful house that has so much history and character. What a fantastic way to show and share the stories that make history relatable. Special thanks to Marquis de Piro Nicholas and his daughter. The Marquis took time to share some personal stories which really brought the paintings, the books, the whole house to life!

I went twice to Casa Rocca Piccola. The first time I went was in the beginning of summer, and I had so much fun learning about the history of the place and of Valletta, that I had to go again! I was taught things that as a Maltese I didn't even know. The second time I went was last month, and I remember I had a very sweet and intelligent tour guide named Halle which was very professional but still kept the conversation open for any questions that I had.

Casa Rocca Piccola is a must visit in Valletta! Friendly welcome at the entrance. The Palace was built over 400 years ago when the Knights of St.John decided to create a prestigious city. Casa Rocca Piccola is named after its first owner who was Admiral of the St.John in the Langue of Italy. The visit offers a look at a still lived-in Palazzo. You almost feel like invited to admire the outstanding artefacts on display in the rooms: * Chinese Room * Sala Grande * Family Chapel * Winter and summer dining room * Archive Room * The Cabinet * Sedan Chair * The 4 Poster Bedroom * Green Room * Library * Porphyry Room * Blue Room Don't miss the chill "piccolo giardino" with the parrot "Kiki" 😉 If you are fit and not claustrophobic, you should visit the WW2 Bomb Shelters! Recommend this unforgettable visit 🌞

A really beautiful house and a very interesting bomb shelter under it. You can join a guided tour (included in the ticket price) and it’s really worth it! Our guide, Halle, was great! I highly recommend.

Lovely house just off the main streets in Valletta. Definitely worth a visit. We loved meeting the owner who was so interesting to listen to. He told us about his house and the items in it. There’s so many items to see. We downloaded the app on to our phones and it was so easy to use. We loved meeting the parrot in the garden and seeing the terrapins. We saw a lot of people passing it by but please take a look in and support the last house left with all of its history. There’s a B&B downstairs as well. Look out for the old stunning Bentley car when you go to the toilets. It’s in the garage next door.

Beautiful palace in a central location. Fascinating history and artefacts. It felt like someone had welcomed you into their home. Having been to the Lascaris War Rooms it was interesting to see the air raid shelter under the palace too. Loved the parrot and terrapins! I gave it 4 stars as I couldn’t get the app to work and had read there were 50 rooms in the palace but only about 15 are open to the public. The remainder are private or for B&B guests.
