Construction Notice
Please note that in Malta, construction and renovation works are very common and can take place throughout the year. Unfortunately, property owners are not notified in advance about when nearby works may begin or where they may occur, and therefore we are unable to predict or control any noise that might arise during your stay.

Our beautifully restored 1928 Art Nouveau building is full of history and charm. As part of our ongoing restoration project, the original lift is currently undergoing specialist maintenance to bring it back to its best. While it is operational most of the time, there may be occasional periods during your stay when it is temporarily out of service and the staircase will need to be used instead. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. If you need assistance with luggage at any point, please don't hesitate to let us know and we will be happy to help.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.
