Refined Living
This MOSTA TOWNHOUSE ticks all the boxes!
QUALITY. SERVICE. EXPERTISE.
Editorial As some had predicted, Covid-19′s second wave will come in the form of a more aggressive attack. That same prediction, which was naturally the last thing people wanted to hear, fortunately had many of us now better prepared than ever on how to cope and move on with our lives as best we can while the virus is still present in the community. At Homes of Quality, we too have been adhering to a very strict protocol to ensure our consultants, buyers and vendors can keep operating, buying and selling homes in the safest way possible. Face masks, hand sanitizer, disposable shoe covers and respect towards the rules of distancing oneself from another are now the basic standards of all our operations. Certainly, these measures that we have adopted present some level of discomfort or even inconvenience, but in the grander scheme of things they are a small pill to swallow in exchange for the safety and precaution levels they offer. Given the now accepted fact that this pandemic will be with us for months to come, we encourage all our clients, both buyers and vendors, to follow the health authority's guidelines and take good care of themselves and those around them. We assure you that we will be doing that and more and we truly appreciate your reciprocal approach. The manageable inconvenience caused by the above measures will allow us to show you some of the most spectacular properties this little rock has to offer. This edition of Refined Living showcases a collection of homes that has substantially more to offer than the average home. This is where quality plays a part and where Homes of Quality excels. We have also decided to partner up with some brands that live by the same ethos as we do and feature them in our magazine. When times are hard, being nice to one another goes a long way. We hope you enjoy this issue of Refined Living and invite you to also browse through some of our previous editions. Keep well, stay safe and protect one another,

“An absolute gem, just a stone’s throw from the Mosta Dome”
The typical Maltese main door leads on to a large welcome hall with high ceilings. Moving in past the main broad stairwell one finds a cloak room, guest bathroom, an informal lounge and a fully functional kitchen with island. Alongside the kitchen, one finds a spacious living area and dining area. The living quarters overlook a 300m2 garden with pool and deck area, mature trees, a well and a tool shed. The pool area houses an outdoor bathroom, showers and storage room. Upstairs one is presented with a central landing leading on to a first double bedroom with traditional Maltese balcony, a second bedroom leading onto a large terrace that overlooks the garden and pool deck, a washroom/ laundry room, a main bathroom and a 66m2 master bedroom with full size walkin wardrobe and en-suite which also has direct access to the terrace. A separate stairwell leads onto the roof area from where one can enjoy a unique view of the surrounding gardens. A truly remarkable property which has seen no expenses spared in being professionally converted into the home it is today. A perfect family home which strikes a perfect balance between indoor and outdoor space.

OMEGA launches the Spe “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th In 1970, OMEGA received the coveted “Silver Snoopy Award” from the astronauts at NASA, recognising the brand’s unique contributions to space exploration, as well as the Speedmaster’s vital support during the rescue of Apollo 13.
Exactly 50 years later, a special timepiece has been created in the occasion’s honour. Combining animation with watchmaking art, this incredible Snoopy tribute has taken the OMEGA Speedmaster to new realms of design.
Our favourite beagle plays a prominent role within the timepiece, first appearing as an embossed silver medallion on the blue subdial at 9 o’clock.
Here, he is shown wearing his famous spacesuit, in the exact style of the silver pin that NASA astronauts give to award recipients.
The dial itself is also silver and laser-engraved with Ag925. It includes two more blue subdials, as well as blue PVD angle-shaped hour markers and hands.

This Palazzo is the perfect blend of classical grandeur and the need for contemporary practicality. From the location and positioning of the home, to the pastel colours chosen for the facade and the accents of brightly multicoloured geraniums, you can easily tell that this home is definitely not “run of the mill” when it comes to historic Maltese houses. The property is known as “The Palace of the Countess” without the overly ornate baroque and rococo details usually associated with palaces of the time. This is a large home that oozes contemporary grandeur. Actually, the word which comes to mind is taste, with more than a touch of class too. The Palazzo is situated in the central part of the island aimed at families that work from home with private spaces for guests, domestic staff, an office, servants quarters and ample entertainment areas featuring the latest technology. Fully restored, this Palazzo has all the modern amenities including home automation, wireless technology, central heating, air conditioning, an outdoor pool and lots more.

“Here it is about functionality and fun...there is even a dance floor for 60 people!�
.com.mt
The first two rooms to greet visitors are the working studios: here functionality and fun meet and literally embrace. Moving into the heart of the home, the eye quickly travels along the spacious corridor and settles on an open space with thick transparent glass flooring. This beautifully roofed courtyard is a quasi-cloister which doubles up as a mini art-gallery. Interestingly, the space transforms into a modest dance floor which can sustain the weight of some 60 people.

This wonderfully converted 3-bedroom HOUSE OF CHARACTER is absolutely packed with charm and authenticity. While retaining all of the charm and traditional features of years gone by, this designerfinished property also incorporates all of the amenities demanded of contemporary living. The entrance hall of this lovely corner home leads either to the private central courtyard, the kitchen and high-ceilinged dining room (which incorporates a gallery library) or by way of an independent staircase to 2 private rooms, which are currently being utilised as offices. These rooms could very easily be converted in to a 4th bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe. From the dining room one enters the arched high-ceilinged living room, which itself then leads out on to a private heated Jacuzzi in the secluded backyard... perfect for those chill-out moments. On the first and second floor levels one finds three double bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms. In addition to this, there are two terraces, a washroom and a downstairs spare toilet.
