Villa in Mellieha
www.hoq.
.com.mt
The owners of this spectacular corner Villa in Mellieha have designed this property around those joys in life most important to them. A love for swimming, wine, cooking, entertaining and enjoying views were key elements that top designers worked around to deliver this top-end property to its owners. All finishes and furnishings ooze quality and the attention to every detail is proof of the love put into this project. Natural light floods every room for most hours of the day and bounces off the neutral colours used on walls and carefully selected marble flooring. Large open spaces indoors and out cater for both quiet reading corners as well fully-fledged bars, ideal to those who love to entertain.The internal stairwell is a work of art in itself. Bold curves lead the way gracefully to a different floor without obstructing any view or blocking off light thanks to the floating design cleverly used. Each step unfolds to a fan-like motion, allowing enough comfort on both width and height fronts. Despite the ultra-modern approach adopted by the architects, importance was given to safety (which is sometimes lacking in modern feature stairways) making them not only a unique and stunning feature but also a safe one, particularly if young kids are chasing each other playfully around the house. Lighting is intelligently incorporated on the steps allowing this designer piece to take on a completely different life by night.

In his book “The Building of Malta during the period of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem 1530-1795”, Quentin Hughes says that “the carvings on the facades of the Stagno palace are most original and interesting. The triple rolls of the Melitan mouldings are even fatter and more bulbous than usual, but they are strangely combined with delicately carved leaf decoration on the consoles which support the window pediments. These consoles rest upon grotesque heads and tall narrow panelled pilasters which lie against the architrave of the windows. The frieze is richly carved with a flat strap decoration and all the mouldings are unorthodox by any but Maltese standards. The carving of these friezes is more reminiscent of Spanish colonial work from Peru or Mexico than anything usually associated with Malta. The heads have an untamed appearance strangely disquieting.” Apart from these strange carvings, the palazzo boasts several other intriguing architectural puzzles and wonders. The windows and doorways are haphazardly placed just as they occur with no attempt at symmetry and none of the 167 apertures are the same size. The garden was dug out of the bedrock and the quarried stones were used to build the palazzo as well as, it is said, the nearby church of St. George. The garden is served by 3 wells, amongst which is one of the largest dome-shaped wells on the island. 61

A Heritage Being Brought Back To Life

Up to decade or so ago, there was very little happening in this once thriving fortified area in the southern part of Malta. Birgu and Senglea were at the heart of Malta’s greatest battles during the Great Siege in 1565 with Bormla being built some years later in a bid to further strengthen the fortifications. Few know that the Order of the Knights of St John made Birgu the capital city of Malta instead of Mdina (the capital at the time), before later building Valletta and crowning it capital as it stands till this very day. Birgu is the oldest of the three cities and was a popular center of trade from as early as the times of the Phoenicians, seeing large volumes of trade thanks to Malta’s unique position, right in the centre of the Mediterranean. All sorts of commodities were traded on ships which also took advantage of the harbour’s safe waters to stock up and carry out repairs before continuing their journey. Senglea was built in the 1530s and stood tall alongside Birgu during the harsh attacks of the great siege. In the early 1700s, Bormla was built to further support the area. Sadly, the area was heavily bombed during the second world war and whilst some rebuilding took place, most of the landscape has been largely neglected since. This, however was set to change at the turn of the century with new investment being pumped in the area. Birgu today houses a prestigious marina which can accommodate luxury super yachts. Restaurants, cafés, a maritime
Price € 2,000,000
museum, a fully restored Fort SaintAngelo, a modern Special Designated Area (St Angelo Mansions), relaxation turfed open spaces, a ferry service to Valletta and an international university now populate the waterfront stretching from Birgu to Bormla. Many palazzos and townhouses have been given a new life whilst respecting the former architectural designs despite welcoming modernisation to cater for the comforts associated with today’s higher standard of living. Guest houses, boutique hotels and rental accommodation have mushroomed over recent years in the various picturesque restored alleys and village squares. There are still several unconverted properties up for grabs in the area that will make fabulous homes or businesses. Whilst property prices have been on the increase in recent years, there is ample room for further growth and potential business return. All of the above augurs well for the area which is being gentrified once again. Several opportunities are coming on the market and investors are playing their part by coming up with creative ideas that can capitalise on the surge in popularity that the area is benefitting from. It does not take much to understand that the three cities will once again be bustling with activity as they did several centuries ago and those who invest now will be the ones to gain the most.

Well hidden from the eyes of most, this property is probably one of the best properties on the rock. A perfect spot on high grounds known by many locals as “Top of the World”, this property looks down over an unspoilt and picturesque stepped valley leading on to the open sea. The large lanscaped garden with several chill out areas, game spaces, walkways and deck areas are perect for outdoor entertaining or chilling privately in the sun. The grounds of this impressive property enjoys sun for most of the day and for those preferring some shade, the mature trees provide for this in abundance. Unlike most of the island’s properties, this property has no immediate or adjacent neighbours guranteeing peaceful and tranquil days. The interiors of this property are equally seductive with top finishes and terraces overlooking heavenly views.

Penthouse in Valletta

A Capital City that is bursting with life. Every corner tells stories of a City that was built to withstand the test of time. Built under the watchful eye of Grandmaster Jean De La Vallette and carrying his same name, the fortified City was said to be ‘built by Gentlemen for Gentlemen’. Much of the Baroque architecture still stands in an excellent state of preservation. Dotted with traditional Maltese balconies, the narrow, perfectly lined roads are now bustling with hip and trendy restaurants, cafes and bars, many of which get very lively at the later hours of the day. Many eateries occupy the pavements, roads and steps on steep hills after 7pm offering patrons al fresco dining and apertivos surrounded by the grand architectural gems populating the city. freshly restored palazzos

This magnificent and rather unique DUPLEX PENTHOUSE enjoys unobstructed views over Valletta and the Grand Harbour. Soothing, natural tones and hues were used in all finishing shing materials to create a sense of space, light and peacefulness. A balance between bare concrete ceilings, marble, plastered walls, limestone walls, glass and wood provide intriguing design features which take on a different dimension in the darker hours thanks to strategically placed feature lighting. This city property layout is presented in the form of 3 good sized bedrooms, en suite facilities, main bathroom and dressing room, kitchen, living and dining area on the next floor and staircase that leads to a decked private roof and terrace. This upper outdoor level is ideal for outdoor entertaining and for enjoying a drink in the sun whilst looking at the vast open sea on the horizon. The whole block has been completely refurbished and is served with lift which is quite a rarity in Valletta.
