Balanzone’s Creative Penthouse

Welcome to Balanzone’s Penthouse — A Hidden Creative Refuge Above Msida

High above the quiet backstreets of Msida, this bright and stylish two-bedroom penthouse was once a private refuge for a local musician and lawyer affectionately known as Balanzone. Just like the theatrical character he admired during his years in Bologna, Balanzone sought solace in creativity — composing rock ballads that later echoed through Malta’s pubs and festivals.

Now, his beloved hideaway is ready to host travellers seeking a peaceful yet central base from which to explore the islands.

🛏 The Space
Perched on the 5th floor of a quiet residential block atop a hill, the penthouse is bathed in natural light and thoughtfully designed with a sense of calm.
Ideal for couples, friends, or business travellers — the space features:

✓ 2 Bedrooms + 2 Bathrooms

✓ Fully Equipped Kitchen with Dishwasher & Oven

✓ Washer

✓ Smart TV & High-Speed WiFi

✓ Air Conditioning & Heating Throughout

🌅 The Terraces
Step onto either of the two sun-soaked terraces — one perfect for quiet morning coffees, the other ideal for sunset dinners around the BBQ, with panoramic views stretching from the Msida Church to the Ta` Xbiex marina and Valletta’s distant domes.

✨ Summer Bonus:
During Malta’s vibrant festa season (typically May to September), guests are often treated to distant firework displays from neighbouring village feasts — an unforgettable, open-air spectacle right from your private terrace.

📍 The Location
Though tucked away above the town, you`re just minutes from:

✓ Public Transport & Supermarkets

✓ Marina & Waterfront Cafés

✓ Valletta, Sliema & University of Malta

Whether you`re working remotely, exploring Malta’s history, or simply recharging, Balanzone’s Penthouse offers the perfect balance of seclusion, style, and soul.
