Kappella Boutique is a lovingly restored 16th-century Maltese house transformed into a boutique hotel, located in the historic village of Żurrieq, one of the oldest and most authentic villages in Malta. Surrounded by traditional limestone architecture and quiet village streets, the property offers a peaceful retreat where timeless character meets modern comfort.
As part of the building’s rich heritage, the house once played a central role in village life and includes a preserved traditional bakery oven, historically used to bake bread for the surrounding community. This unique element forms part of the property’s story and reflects the deep cultural roots of the building.
Today, the boutique hotel features eight individually designed rooms, each with its own historical background and character. Some rooms were once used as animal shelters, others served as birthing rooms, and one was built on the footprint of the original oven chimney. Each space has been carefully transformed into a comfortable and elegant room while preserving the soul and story of its past.
From quiet courtyard views to elevated panoramic outlooks across Malta and the nearby chapel dome, every room blends original Maltese stonework, historic details, and contemporary design to offer comfort, privacy, and tranquility.
The boutique hotel is ideally located for exploring some of Malta’s most iconic landmarks. Just minutes away are the dramatic Blue Grotto, the uninhabited island of Filfla, and the UNESCO-listed Ħaġar Qim and Mnajdra Temples, among the oldest free-standing structures in the world. Despite its proximity to these attractions, Żurrieq remains calm and unspoiled, offering guests an authentic experience of traditional Maltese village life.
For added convenience, Malta International Airport is only a 5-minute drive away, making arrivals and departures quick and effortless.
Whether you’re seeking a romantic escape, a cultural getaway, or a quiet place to unwind, Kappella Boutique invites you to experience Malta through history, comfort, and understated elegance.
