Welcome to Domus Zamittello, a restored 17th century palazzo, ideally located at the beginning of Republic Street, just as one enters the cultural capital city of Valletta. Domus Zamittello invites guests to enjoy the vibrant and cultural baroque capital along with its high-end shopping addresses whilst appreciating the architectural beauty of this prestigious building. The hotel offers accommodation in different elegantly designed classic rooms, some overlooking the hotel courtyard whilst those on South Street overlook the open theatre.This comfortable Hotel is located in Valletta. This elegant 17th Century home had originally been part of the earlier estate of the Auberge D'Italie, one of the langues of the Order of St John. Recent research dates the palazzo back to 1633 when it was used by various knights of Italian descent. and was then known as Casa Pensa. In 1805, after the departure from Malta of the Knights of St John, the British Governor granted ownership of the palazzo to Sir Giuseppe Nicola Zamitt, for services to the Crown. In recent years, the present Count of Mont'Alto, a descendant of Sir Giuseppe Nicola Zamitt after whom the palazzo is now named, embarked on a project to enlarge it and restore the entire property to its former glory. Opened in 2018, Domus Zamittello has 21 elegant and comfortable rooms, out of which six suites, five of which are spacious duplexes. The spacious 125 sq m sun terrace on the third floor overlooks Republic Street, as well as the entrance to Valletta, the Triton Fountain and beyond. Reception service is available 24 hours a day.
Pamper yourself with on-site massages or enjoy recreation amenities such as a fitness centre. This hotel also features complimentary wireless Internet access, concierge services and wedding services.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Domus Zamittello and couldn’t have chosen a better hotel for our anniversary trip to Malta!
The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Valletta and within walking distance of so many wonderful sights, restaurants, and attractions. Despite being so centrally located, the hotel was incredibly quiet and peaceful inside, making it the perfect place to unwind after a full day of exploring.
The complimentary breakfast was fantastic, with a wonderful selection and a great start to each morning. The hotel was impeccably clean, beautifully maintained, and full of charm. What truly made our stay special, however, was the lovely staff. Everyone was so welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind, making our anniversary feel extra special.
Domus Zamittello made our trip one of a kind, and we would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Valletta. We would love to return! A true gem in the heart of Malta, thank you DZ staff!
Great hotel with a super team and ideal location.
Happy to highly recommend the Zamittello after a visit there last week. A great welcome from the team and a super level of care. One issue which arose was addressed by Moul in a way which turned around the situation. And the tours from Owen were a great way to see the island
This boutique hotel is a well located haven offering a tranquil luxury experience with excellent customer service. Very good a la carte breakfast especially for the gluten intolerant like myself. Great staff. I needed medical attention whilst there and the General Manager, Moul Hajjar was very helpful in organising for me to see a doctor. Highly recommend this hotel.
Excellent staff. Very clean. Perfect location. Absolutely beautiful hotel. Simply flawless. Will return.
We travelled from the UK with a camera crew to film a series of interviews at Domus Zamittello, and I genuinely couldn’t recommend the experience more highly!
We had exclusive access to their stunning event spaces, including Sala Nobile, Sala del Conte and the beautiful terrace. Each space provided an incredible backdrop for filming, with gorgeous interiors, beautiful architectural details and a wonderfully spacious, sun-filled terrace.
What really made the experience exceptional, however, was the team. Every member of staff was incredibly welcoming, kind and accommodating, particularly Lara, who went above and beyond to make sure we had absolutely everything we needed. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and their generosity and willingness to help made the entire production run seamlessly.
I couldn’t recommend Domus Zamittello highly enough to anyone looking for a beautiful filming location in Malta, whether you’re after elegant indoor spaces or a bright, spacious terrace in the heart of Valletta.
A huge thank you to Lara and the entire team for making our experience so wonderful. We would absolutely love to return in the future!
