Casa Bernard
Casa Bernard is a 16th century palazzo in Rabat Malta. It is not as such a museum, but a private family home, combining beautiful architectural features with a rich historical evolution starting off from Roman times to the Mediaeval and to the time of the Knights of St John.
The Magris, owners and residents of Casa Bernard, are a Rabat institution, and one of the best reasons to visit their delightful home. Over many years, they poured their hearts, souls, and considerable funds into the restoration of the beautiful property, and are overjoyed to share its quirks and riches with visitors from all far flung corners of the globe.
So contagious is the Magris’ enthusiasm, that for many years, Casa Bernard has been consistently ranked as one of the top things to do in Rabat on TripAdvisor.

Harking back, looking forward
Following a tumultuous pandemic period that greatly disrupted the daily tours at Casa Bernard, owners Josette & Georges Magri decided that a new website in keeping with the times was required.
Instead of overcomplicating things and proposing some enormous web portal with fancy bells and whistles, we devised a simple, lightweight, quick, and easy-to-use one-page website that does it all for the Magris and Casa Bernard.
The website showcases Casa Bernard, offering a glimpse of what lies within via a video and various photos, shares some history, introduces the hosts, and crucially, provides people who would like to plan a visit with a quick and easy way to contact the Magris and arrange a personal tour.
We could have gone all out and created a full feature booking and payments system, but that is not what the clients wanted or needed; their system is one honed over two decades and they know what works for them, so our role was to use technology to assist and support, not disrupt.
