Authentic Palazzo

Authentic! We are delighted to represent this 18th century Palazzo located in Żabbar, which, in older times was also known as Città Hompesch, a city in the South Eastern Region of Malta. Within easy reach of the Three Cities and a lovely alternative to the Capital City of Valletta, this location is simply ideal for those discerning clients who wish to enjoy the traditional culture of the island whilst being away from the busyness of cosmopolitan cities themselves.

This Palazzo was recently converted to excellent standards whilst retaining and enhancing the beautiful features of such grandiose properties. Presently awaiting a licence as a boutique hotel, the property has a footprint of 1000sqm with 600sqm of internal space and has been remodelled into a fourteen guest room Palazzo.

An imposing façade sets the tone to this majestic property where a gorgeous entrance hall is flanked on one side by a restaurant with a capacity of thirty-five persons. On the opposite end a breakfast room, café’ and bar can easily accommodate twenty-five guests, with both well sized rooms enjoying their own separate entrance and accessible from the street. Beyond the entrance, the Reception leads out onto a stunning central courtyard endowed with lovely citrus trees creating a wonderful ambience for guests wishing to dine or lounge in its confines. Seventy seated persons or hundred standing guests can easily be accommodated. Opening out from the courtyard is a gorgeous garden with a lovely heated pool and deck area, a beautiful space which guests can enjoy throughout all the seasons of the year.

At this level is an industrial, professional fully equipped kitchen which can also cater for private events. The guest rooms, all enjoying en-suite marble clad bathrooms, A/C’s, Wi-fi and TV’s are spread out on two levels, six on the ground floor and eight on the first level, accessible through an authentic traditional and comfortable cantilevered stairwell. One of the rooms on the upper level is complimented with its own terrace overlooking the courtyard and pool area whereas a second terrace looking over the garden is another external space for guests to lounge in.

The basement level has been beautifully remodelled into a Wellness Area with a Sauna and Massage Room together with two welcoming Lounges, a Bar, a Billiard and Pool table area, a Guest WC and a storage room. The lounges and bar enjoy separate street access.

This Palazzo is offered together with a separate Residence having its own private entrance but also accessible through the garden. This is a newly built property enjoying a bright any airy open plan kitchen, living and dining room, six bedrooms, the master with its own en-suite and a walk in closet, an en-suite in a second bedroom together with a further bathroom, a study/office and a two car garage. There is also the opportunity for further extension, which with an additional ten rooms will certainly make one's ROI on this property enhanced exponentially.

Replete with traditional features synonymous of the 18th century, this impressive Palazzo is adorned with high vaulted ceilings, arches and niches, two wells and the magnificent statues of Neptune and St Augustine in the garden amongst more.

An excellent investment and certainly a wonderful presence in the hospitality industry where tradition harmonises beautifully with today’s modern standards, creating an ambience of comfort and prestige.
