About the home

Originally a 'palace'of medieval times and more recently a small farm. Derelict in 1968 but since restored to retain a simple style of accommodation but with all 'mod cons'. Ta Torri is a listed property and the colonnaded path down the garden is one of only 3 remaining on the island.

Unique 18th century Farmhouse with wonderful gardens and pool in traditional Maltese town

Facilities

Further details indoors:
Most of the accommodation is in the main house but at the far end of the garden is the 'Tower apartment' which has a double bedsitting room, a small kitchenette and its own bathroom. Ideal for those who want to be a bit quieter.

Further details outdoors:
Car parking immediately outside the premises.
All Weather table tennis table and petanquo area.
The architecture and the gardens make Ta Torri a dream holiday venue for gardeners, photographers and artists. The extensive garden provides many opportunities for seclusion away from the main holiday group.
The high surrounding walls afford total privacy for sunbathing and swimming.

Further details

Bed linen provided. Own towels needed.
Bedlinen is changed weekly and a basic cleaning service can be provided once a week. Times must be discussed with the housekeeper to protect privacy and avoid inconvenience for everyone. The housekeeper (Matilde) will call on your first day. The pool/garden attendant comes each evening between 6 and 7.

Conditions

Visitors must appreciate that irrespective of their flight times the house has to be available for cleaners between 9am and 4pm on the changeover day

The varied and colourful gardens provide a haven for birds, butterflies, geckos, salamander and chameleon. These creatures are small, shy and harmless and must not be chased or hurt in any way.

The Island of Malta region

Malta as a whole has a fabulous history starting with the oldest neolithic temples in the world, the fascinating siege of the 16th century when the Knights held the island against the might of the Ottoman Empire, and more recently their heroic stand during the Second World War.
The South west corner of the island is noted for the neolithic temples at Hagar Qim, the Hypogeum, the Blue Grotto and the busy fishing villages of Marsaxmett amd Marsaxlokk. It also has the 'Limestone Experience Exhibition' which reflects the tradition of quarrying in the area. The capital city of Valletta and the ancient silent city of Mdina are 20 minutes drive away.

The Mqabba area

Mqabba is an old unspoilt Maltese quarrying village. Everything is available in the village; viz banking, (with hole in wall) good pharmacy, excellent butcher, fruitshop, general store - and the 'piece de resistance', - Alfred the baker just round the corner for fresh Maltese bread in the morning. The people are very friendly. There are no 'tourist facilities' (good!) but a couple of local bars where you can watch important football matches, have a game of snooker and enjoy the company of the local people.
Throughout the Summer each Maltese town and village celebrates the feast day of their parish church. The firework displays are fantastic and everyone turns out.
