BEFORE BOOKING PLEASE READ NOTES BELOW.

Nestled in the heart of the 'Isle of Joy', in amongst the ancient alleyways of the old capital, is this wonderful throwback to another era when time passed slowly and more graciously. Restored to its original 1915 design and upgraded to 21C convenience this amazing 'mini palazzo' is sure to leave its mark. Fully self-catering with all modern conveniences.

This remarkable building is replete with traditional features: patterned hand-made floor tiles, soaring decorated ceilings, timber beams, traditional Maltese timber balconies, hand-made wrought iron railings, grand stone staircase, private courtyard and sculptured doorways - all from the early 20C that will take you back in time while you immerse yourself in the heart of this ancient vibrant town.

It also includes some unexpected twists: a 'Hamam' style marble-lined internal cool-water pool/Jacuzzi and a roof-top entertainment sundeck and living room with outstanding views of Gozo's ancient citadel and distant sea views (and, on a clear day, amazing views of Sicily).

Enjoy the magical pedestrian heart of old Rabat. Just 100 metres from the Basilica of St George and its fabulously vibrant square with cafes, bars, restaurants, museums all at your doorstep.

The place has been outfitted to be fully self-catering with all modern amenities including two kitchens (ovens/hobs/dishwasher/washmachine), orthopaedic mattresses, 100% cotton bedsheets, ensuites throughout, HD TVs, ACs, mesh WIFI and bluetooth speakers throughout.
