This is a great place to stay in Malta. the staff are fantastic and the whole house is well managed and kept in sparkling condition. Lots of interesting stores, walks and local eating places nearby and only a short bus ride to the harbour. Would definitely stay here again.
Rivotorto Retreat House is the property of the Conventual Franciscan Order, one of the three branches of the First Order of St Francis. The priests are resident at the Friary in Birkirkara, and take a 'hands-on' role in the management of the retreat house. They are ably assisted by a small band of highly capable, service oriented and helpful lay staff.
Rivotorto is a most welcoming place and is situated in suburban Birkirkara, 5 km from Valletta, Malta's capital city. Ancient alleyways and narrow lanes wind through the old town which is home to St Helen's Basilica, one of Malta's most beautiful churches. Guestrooms are clean and spacious and some come with views over the town. All rooms are equipped with ensuite bathrooms and air-conditioning and free Wi-fi is provided throughout the property.
Travellers and tourists are invited to stay at Rivotorto, be they individuals, couples, families or part of a group. Pilgrims and travellers on a spiritual journey are also most welcome. Restaurants, bars and cafes are close by and it is a short walk to the heart of Birkirkara. The sights, the iconic waterfront, the palaces, grand churches and the museums of Valletta are only a short bus ride away.
