Valletta - Apartments

Description

157A, Tower Road, Sliema A truly singular home. This loft-style apartment occupies the piano nobile and a mezzanine of a beautifully restored palazzo, and during the restoration an original fresco was uncovered on its walls, now carefully conserved as the centrepiece of the living space. It is the kind of detail that cannot be designed, only discovered. The main floor is generously proportioned and flooded with light from three tall windows along the street façade. A large open-plan kitchen with ample counter space flows into a living and dining area that comfortably hosts two sofas and a dining table for six, with the double-height volume rising above. A bathroom with shower sits discreetly off the entrance hall. A private spiral staircase leads up to the mezzanine, an open gallery level in the spirit of an artist's loft. Here the sleeping area, with a double bed and fitted wardrobes, looks down over the living space below, and a second bathroom keeps the bedroom level fully self-contained. Finished to a high standard throughout, the apartment combines the drama of a grand historic interior with the ease of a brand-new renovation. The location is unrivalled: steps from the Manoel Theatre and St George's Square, with the Grand Harbour, the capital's best restaurants and cultural venues, and the ferry and bus terminus all within an easy walk.
