A floor of a Valletta townhouse in the centre of Archbishop Street, fifty paces from St John’s Co-Cathedral. A restored interior of honey-coloured limestone, black timber shutters, terrazzo and marble floors — available through the end of November 2026.

The rooms are furnished and hung: a kitchen lounge, a sitting room behind tall doors with a flat-screen television, a bedroom with a Venetian chandelier and a second television, a small writing desk and monitor by the entry, a fitted bathroom, and a separate utility room with washer-dryer. Original art on most walls. It is a working home — lived in, not staged — and a quiet one, by the measure of Valletta streets.

— The Owner, May 2026.

A bedroom with dark wood ceiling beams, half-limestone half-charcoal walls, a Venetian glass chandelier, gallery wall of small framed works, and a window bench set into a thick wall embrasure.
