Valletta Penthouse Panoramic
About the home
'Palazzo Citta Valletta ' dates from 1622. The recent restoration made it possible to create four spacious apartment suites, within total respect of the original structure and functions of the house, but also respecting your privacy as well as providing the full intimacy and warmth of your own home. The property is grand but the relaxed and romantic ambiance is noticed the moment one walks through the original 17th century door.
A unique experience to share in the day to day living of a Maltese family within an authentic 16/17th century “Maison de Ville” which has been lovingly restored to its former glory over the past five years, after several years of abandon and neglect.
The “Patron”’ of the house has opened the house to a few select guests wishing to relive the splendor of Valletta’s glorious past. A totally new concept in Maltese hospitality not unlike Riyadhs in Morocco, Paradores in Spain and Posadas in Portugal, offering a high end lodging alternative to hotel accommodation in Malta.
The ' San Angelo' penthouse suite sits on the third floor and is one of four each of which has its own distinctive character. Should the apartment be full we would be happy to recommend a suitable alternative , ranging from a studio suite to this luxurious penthouse.
The apartment has its own independent entrance and is lift served directly into the penthouse.
I00 meters from San Gwann Square the main square of Valletta the Valletta fruit and vegetable market, food stores and 10 minutes from Malta's main bus terminal. A 10 minute ferry ride takes you to Sliema/St Julians
( ferry landing 15 minutes walk ).
The apartment is brand new and operations started on April 1st 2009. Approved by the Malta Tourism Authority.

The Island of Malta region
The Mediterranean's best kept holiday secret has made a comeback in recent years and is once more a favourite holiday destination offering a blend of cosmopolitan and traditional backed by a wealth of cultural heritage that makes the Maltese archipelago appear so much larger then its actual size.
Sea, sun, excellent restaurants, trendy shops and the unmistakable Maltese hospitality are a constant attraction.
Visit during the summer months if you enjoy the merry making of village fiestas ( a different one every week starting June ) or during the winter months for a more relaxed tempo. Winters in Malta are very mild and the countryside abounds with colourful wild flowers.

The Valletta / Central Valletta area
Up till a few years ago Valletta was off the beaten track or even shunned by most visitors who came simply to soak up the sun. Discerning travellers have however discovered the beauty and charm of this UNESCO world heritage sight - so much history condensed in a peninsula barely 5 square kilometres. A city which has seen kings, emperors, poets and painters, come and go as it stands aloof on a hill enclosed within its fortifications.
What is there to see - magnificent St John's Cathedral and Museum with the largest painting Caravaggio ever painted, the Manoel theater, Europe's oldest functioning theatre, the Grand Masters' Palace and armoury - the list is never ending.
Valletta is also the hub and interconnection point for all buses be it to the Mediaeval capital Medina, Malta's beaches or Sliema and St Julians if you enjoy night-life. Getting around the island could not be easier and you certainly do not need car hire if you elect to spend your holidays in Malta's Capital city. Sliema can also be reached by a 10 min ferry service.
Pavement cafe's along Republic street, a favourite promenading street for the Maltese with its trendy shops, breathtaking views from the Barakka Gardens, gourmet restaurants - you will need good walking shoes.

High up on the top of a beautiful ancient Valetta "Palazetto" is this amazing, modern penthouse apartment. The views across the Grand Harbour from the spacious terrace must be amongst the most spectacular in town. We spent many happy hours just watching the huge liners coming and going. The apartment is light and airy and very well appointed. We used the kitchen a lot and it had everything we needed with useful pots and pans. However, just a short stroll away are all the sights of Valetta with many cafes and bars to suit all tastes. The bus station is also close by should you want to go further afield. Our host, Franck, was always unfailingly helpful and full of useful local knowledge. Living on the premises meant that if we needed anything he was always on hand. His beautiful house is full of surprises but this penthouse apartment must be the greatest one of all. Oh, and in case you were worried, there's a lift that takes you up to your place in the sky - just as well after a hard day's sightseeing. |
